Speaking of tough casings on smoked sausages, what are some things you can do to prevent this?

I don't think my smoked sausages have tough skins - in my opinion - but I have a lady who loves my smoked sausages but complains about the tough casings. I'd like to satisfy her in this area but I don't...

Hobbyists/amateurs tend to smoke theirs sausages longer than do the commercial processors. The long smoking phase will result in a dryer sausage and a tough casing.

my curing cabinet at 58 degrees with a 65% humidity.

Summer sausage is a semi-dry product, so a period of drying is usually necessary, to a weight loss of anywhere between 20-30%. 58F for a three dys or so should be fine, but if you can lower the temp to 50F it would be a bit better.

Silesian Head Cheese

Calls for a split hogs head which then has to be brined per this instruction, “The split heads were washed and then immersed in 16° Bè (64° SAL) curing solution for 4-6 days.”
What exactly does “16° Bè (64° SAL)” mean and how is it made?

Exactly. And to that you can add the percentage of salt in a solution. So you have three different ways of determining the salinity in brine.

Back to the roots! Made a small batch of old country style garlic sausage. Nothing exotic, 4kg pork 0.5kg goose breasts and 800g back fat. No fillers or anything else. Added extra fat and cured chunks of meat for 48hrs just like the old days. Seasoned only with salt, pepper, a hint of marjoram and...

Red, I’d like to do this recipe, but need a bit more info. How much of each spice are you using, either by weight or percentage of total meat weight. In regards to the additional cured meat and fat, I’m assuming this amount (which you don’t say how much) is in addition to
the starting amount plus...

Actually when I use the word sugar it includes dextrose, sucrose, fructose, maltose, lactose, etc. They are all sugars. Dextrose is probably the best option in your situation since it will aid in a fast start and fast fermentation.

Hi all!
I am trying to make some Texas hot links and I can't find the right dosage in grams/weight for mustard powder, sweet paprika, onion powder and garlic powder. How many grams should I try for these spices, for 1kg of meat?
Thank you!

Last post

Thanks for the suggestions, it's a good starting point, as I have never used garlic powder or mustard seeds before in a sausage.

Does anyone out there have a proven recipe for Bauernwurst? It's one of my favorite types of sausage in Germany, but I've not had much luck finding recipes online. Thanks in advance.

Mac

Last post

John-
The unsalted pork back refers to Backfat AKA Fatback. Which is a hard firm fat. Bacon or pork belly is soft so that makes a big difference in texture.

When using google or bing translators from Czech to English, or German to English, when Kmin or Kummel, or its derivations go thru, I almost always get Cummin. Shouldn't this actually be Caraway?

Hello all,
I made Chorizo Verde this evening after work and unfortunately quite disappointed with how it turned out. I’m not 100% sure if I made a mistake, failed to follow the recipe properly, or possibly the sausage turned out exactly how it was supposed to and I am not a fan of the texture....

Most times when I make chorizo I simply stuff it in the plastic sausage bags since most people use it as a loose ingredient anyway and I can't see the point in wasting casings.

That's great. That goose meat does need a lot of spice to overtake that skanky flavour. I think sausage is the best thing you can make with wild goose. How about some pics?

What is kiełbasa swojska ? Well, it's the name you call your own homemade sausage. The name is also given to country style sausages using recipes that were unique to an individual, family, or village. So if you craft a Polish type sausage and call it swojska you will never get the name wrong!...

Last post

These look great Redzed, exactly like the ones my grandparents did! I'll give your recipe a try and will post the results!

Hello Maciej, I'm looking forward to seeing how the sausage turns out! Just remember that the process is just as important, or maybe even more so, than the ingredients.

I am going to make 6.5 kg of Summer sausage tomorrow. 50/50 pork shoulder and lean beef.

Butterbean and redzed - thank you very much for your comments!
Like I said before, I don't think that the buttermilk powder had real impact on tangy taste. The tangy taste was not really noticeable. About sausage being a little more moist: honestly, I don't know. This was my first experiment with...
