unless I can find a butcher ( good luck these days ) I'll just have to stick with buckboard bacon...since the butts are pretty lean, thats not really a bad thing I suppose. I'll just have to borrow my sisters slicer to cut it thin.

Thanks for the replies...the nitrite turning the meat a gray color then pink explains why my polish sausage was such a weird color when I ground it! I was thinking to myself...not sure if I want to eat this weird colored meat! The Pink cure sounds like the way to go. I have used the tenderquick for ...

Buckboard bacon

I've seen buckboard bacon recipes that call for either tenderquick or pink curing salt. is there a preference of one over the other?
I have both, so that's not a problem, just wanted some input on which would be better, if there is a "better" :grin:

I can do that! I was just thinking that if someone wanted to make up a lot of different things and then just dedicate a day only to smoking, then making them, freezing then pulling it out on smoking day would be great, but I can just do the refrigerate thing!

make now, smoke later?

could you make up your sausages, casing and all, freeze them, then thaw to smoke at a later date?
or refrigerate them overnight and smoke the next day?
seems I always run short on time when it comes to smoking.

Oh yes, about the beer. Why lager over pilsner? It`s all about fermenting. Most non-lager beers undergo a process called "top fermentation", whereby yeast floats on top of the wort (grain mashed in hot water), which is exposed to oxygen and kept warm. Oxygen and warmth persuade yeast to produce spi...

cure for salmon/fish

I'm curious why people don't use the instacure more for fish? Also, there seems to be so much variation on recipes and amounts of ingredients. Since I'm new to doing this, I'm looking for a simple cure/brine and want to use the instacure since I'd rather not poison someone accidentally! I'll be cold...
