Sausage Making Video

[wittdog]

We just finished the first in a 4 part video on sausage making..the first part deals with the prep work..deboning the butt and chunking it…and grinding it…The second part will cover mixing the meat and stuffing the sausage….The third part will cover the smoking of the sausgae..and the Fourth part will cover the eating of the sausage…I burnt out my grinder making this video…but hey I think I’ve made close to 2000lbs of sausage with that $100 grinder..time to go to the sausage maker and get another.
BTW I think the kids have watched to many JB videos…â€

Great video Dave!
Man I get way to picky when it comes to chunkin' up the butt. I now see I don't have to.
I gave my last ring of Grandpa Witt's Polish sausauge to a buddy. I thought I had more but I searched the freezer and I don't
I will soon, that is some good stuff!

It a great video Dave, I was lookin at some aundollie sasage her in the cajun sections & the sausage package cutaway had larger chunks of meat & fat it looks hand diced rather than ground. it Tastes way better too

JB Grandpa used to make his fresh sausage cut by hand..diced like you speak...I still make a small amount like that at Xmass and Easter.

Looking good Witt.

JB...andouille sausage is usually cut into about 1/4 inch pieces stuffed then smoked over pecan wood.

Excellent wittdog. I truly enjoyed the video.

 

[Cliff H.]

Great Video Dave.

I am on the edge of my computer chair in anticipation of the continuation of the sausage saga.

 

[Diva Q]

That is some great information

 

[wittdog]

Link I got most of the knives at the Sausage Maker...the price is reasonable the steel is sharp...and it works for me I think they are Mundial brand...they are terriably expensive but they hold a good edge.

Great Video!! and as everybody else has said... lots of good info there too!!! Love the ending chase scene..haha

This is the second video and covers the mixing of the sausage and stuffing ( I had to split it into 2 parts cuz it was a minute and a half to long) it both in casings and in bulk bags the same technique applies to bologna casings and the wider salami casing.. I use soy protein in my smoked sausage you can also substitute powdered milk, both will act as a binder and help the fat stay were it belongs in the sausage. (Not everyone uses it or likes to use it but I do). In regards to the cure (pink stuff) I use Insta Cure one or Prague Powder 1also know as sodium nitrate. This is use to kill the boutisilsm that can take place when smoking at temps below 200*. The FDA recommends the use of cure. I will not debate the non use of a cure when smoking below 200*. You can substitute Mortons Tender Quick for the Cure but you have to rework your recipe because tender quick contains both salt and sugar in addition to the cure. Hope you enjoy the movie Part 2a deals with mixing the sausage, Part 2b deals with stuffing the sausage.
