If you are talking the 70/30 trim it won't matter but if its the 50/50 you need to back up and not add over 30% to the mix. The 70/30 makes a good sausage mixed with venison on a 1:1 mix.

Those look wonderful. I'd be more than willing to sample those. I don't know how or why Mr. Google would not be able to convince them, but there you have it. Everyone's alive and no worse for the wear, but still. I think I know those people of whom you speak and wonder if they even know that Google ...

Can't say I've ever noticed a difference but have never looked to be honest. I've always treated it like I do yeast in wine or beer making. Don't know if this is the correct way but it seems logical and have always gotten quick and good fermentations on all.

That looks wonderful and I'm sure your lucky friends appreciated them.

I recently made some Kielbasa Mysliwska using Marianski's recipe and since I was letting the meats cure for several days before processing got the whim of adding some dextrose and FRM52 to the mix and let them ferment for 1.5 days till the pH dropped then went on with the process only keeping them i...

Looking good. They do throw off some strange aromas at times. I love to smell their progression. I like it the most when it smells like cheese but once got a floral bouquet I thought interesting. I think you made a good choice dusting the outside with paprika as this should make it look really nice....

Looks great. I really like the color.

Seeing Stefan's sausages inspired me ...... maybe to much so as I have a fair amount of game meat in the freezer and I recently made some modifications to the smokehouse and have been wanting to see how she runs. So with these things prodding me I may have gotten a bit overzealous and bit off more t...

Thanks, I'll look Will up. Always like seeing and listening to this type stuff.

Inspirational as usual! I've been planning on making a fair amount of stuff for Christmas gifts and this gives me some good ideas. I have several deer in the cooler and a good bit of pork I think I might trying making some things along these lines but also using some venison as well.

They are pushing the limits pretty hard these days and doing some mind blowing stuff. I've always been skeptical of ice because you might climb something one day and the next day it may be gone but it does look like fun and I'm sure you are pretty adept at reading the weather and the ice conditions....

Impressive! Love the press. Climbing? Are you into technical rock climbing? Yes technical rock and ice. It's ice time here now.
