I put two strips of electrical tape on my table 4 inches apart to guage how long to make my links.ssorllih wrote:You sure do nice work. What convenient gauge do you use for link length?
carbona: threading them on the tube is easy the hard part is untangling the hank.a 3/8 SS. stuffing tube is a must.

Maybe my problem is that I bought a little "home pack." I can untangle them (not so hard as a whole hank), but threading them takes forever, and then half of them blow out. I have a small stainless tube.Big Guy wrote:carbona: threading them on the tube is easy the hard part is untangling the hank.a 3/8 SS. stuffing tube is a must.

Hey Big Guy, the links look great! We LOVE breakfast sausage here more than any other and make a lot of it.
I wish I had a local source for the sheep casing though. When you order by the hank how is it packaged? Last time I ordered it came in a brine and the texture just wasn't the same as the moist salted I've used in the past.
Also, how well do your links hold up after poach and separation? I've only smoked my links in the past and have never poached in sheep cases....
Thanks for the recipes as well, they'll go into the book soon as something to try out!

CBuzz. I get them from The sausage maker in Buffalo, they come in a plastic tub, sealed in a plastic bag which has a slurry of salt. I store them in the fridge. I just rinse the untangled case out then soak in water overnight in the fridge, but you only need a 20 min soak. I like to think a longer soak is better and I can spread the work out over 2 days. I you want tubed sheep cases you can get them fron the syracuse casing co. they are spendy though.

small sheep cases are very tender, stuff them very slowly or they will split. Take your time and you won't have any blow outs. Don't stuff too full either .Good luck, you don't have to poach them, I do it to some just to have a brown and serve sausage. They hold up great just don't boil or the skins will toughen.

Beautiful work Ray! As always. One of these days we should all get together and have a sausage breakfast together. Cranky Buzzard would bring the dancing girls and El Quacko would bring some Texas Kool Aid, I'm sure.
If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it probably needs more time on the grill!

When I poach I only run the water at 180 F and go to 165 F internal on the links.
Ill bet I got too rough with the last batch of casings, thanks for the heads up!
