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

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.

With straight pork, no beef, I'd cut back on the water.

Hello, I was wondering if I can hang my cooked summer sausage in my curing cabinet at 58 degrees with a 65% humidity. The sausage has curing salt #1 and as been cooked in my smoker. It seems a bit soft so I was wondering if I can hang it in my curing box?

Thanks

Last post

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?

Last post

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.

Well it has been -35+ here for the last month. I've been killing pork, making bacon, ham and speck.
I took Friday off and made up 3 batches of sausage. I tweaked my Jalapeno cheese smokie recipe and cut out the ground jalapeno and jalapeno flakes. Instead I added 1g smoked paprika, 1 g crushed red...

I ground up pork butts to make my normal sausage recipe except this time I used Morton's salt substitute for a no sodium sausage for my Mom but after mixing and frying up a patty it has a weird chemical taste. It's the same recipe I always use except that Morton's, I think it's too much of the...

I love fixing myself a simulated egg McMuffin for breakfast. For sausage, I have been using the frozen pre-cooked sausage patties from the grocery store. Recently decided to try to make my own pre-cooked patties. Cubed about 4 pounds pork (72% loin, 18% back fat, and 10% picnic) and mixed in 1.5%...

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.

Happy New Year to everyone!
I am going to make 6.5 kg of Summer sausage tomorrow. 50/50 pork shoulder and lean beef.
I don't want to use FL-C culture this time and don't have fermento on hands so... I decided to use dry buttermilk. I could not find just dry buttermilk in neither of 5 supermarkets...

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...

It's that time again. I'm using one deer liver, 30% deer lean trim, 50% pork belly trim and one 375g pack of bacon. I posted the recipe last year. I'm generally not a fan of the Pate type liverwurst but this one is more course, but still spreadable. Yummy on fresh bread or crackers. Meat is cooking...

The pork, onion and deer are cubed and cooked in water just not quite enough to cover. When done, Liver is dropped on top for 2 min each side to close pores. Everything is then ground through a 1/4 plate, with the raw bacon. Ground a second time through 1/8. Spices added and mixed. This time I...

I set out to re-create the beef sausages made in the famous Lockhart, TX BBQ establishments like Blacks, Smitty's, and Kreuz. They all make a beef sausage, simply seasoned, with a unique soft texture. There isn't a modern recipe shared for these sausages but some old information basically stating...

Awesome post, thanks for sharing.

Glad you liked it.....I just made a couple more batches of this the other day! Same basic formula though I did get my hands on some Bull Binder but haven't done enough sampling to decide if it is meaningfully different than the milk powder I was using.

When making fermented cold smoked sausages, I know that small farm bread and raised pigs of at least 1 year of age are enourmosly superior to a standard meat found at the average butcher, where I live (croatia, central europe). Those pigs are intensly raised for only around 6months, and the quality...

There's others here way more knowledgeable than me but I use similar meat all the time. I get barn clean out (smaller) pigs from the local Huterite colony. They are intensely barn raised as well. They are only about 6 months old and anywhere from 25-40 KG. Some times they're very lean so I need to...

For those without a kidney plate there are other options.
Like redzed stated above mixing with a potato masher or even by hand will help extract the proteins. A stand mixer (like a Kitchenaid) is another option which does an excellent job.
