Hey Bubba, welcome back to the forum! We missed you! Great batch of kielbasa, nicely made and looks darned tasty! Can you comment on why you chose to add the soy protein?

Thank you Chris!

Work has been very busy lately, and with my work hours getting back to a normal rate I am setting time aside to try out my new smoker.

Using the soy protein was a first time trial on this small batch, the intent was to be able to compare when I use no binder in my next batch.

Hi folks. I'm new to the forum. I have been trying to make GOOD sausage for many years but it was always just OK. After meeting a Swiss butcher and sausage maker I was lucky enough for him to teach me some of the art. My current specialties are made mostly with pork and wild meat myself and my daughters harvest. I also bought an old Hobart bowl cutter and am making emulsified sausage. I've only recently started with fermented sausages and salami's. Here are pics of a few of my products. I have a little insulated shop in my back yard I call the "Man Shed" where I make everything.

Stefan, what kind of wood did you use for the sides of your smoker. Seems like a good hardwood would work best, no pine.

Stefan, that load of sausages looks fantastic! Truly the work of a master! Your family and friends are fortunate to have you!

Butter bean make sure you post a pic after you cut into that soppressata!

I'm currently in Hungary and have been tasting a variety of sausages loaded with paprika and garlic. Unfortunately not enough time to taste them all. :lol:

I'm envious. I think I'd thoroughly enjoy trying local products like you are able to.

I will post a pic when done. I hope I don't find a cavernous wasteland in the center. I've been tempted to cut into it but I'm going to try and be patient because of the time invested. Do you think 40% loss would be a good target?
