Making Sausage

[Old Dave]

Is there any interest on this board in making sausage?

I plan to make about 4 pounds of my spicy breakfast sausage, about 5 pounds of brats, and about
7-8 pounds of Texas hot links. Probably start this afternoon.

Old Dave..step by step instructions would work for me. Do I need the cure #1? it's on it's way, it's been shipped already. Then I can start. I already have the casings. Pammie ★*˚°。°

I have gotten "hooked" on making sausage.  I am due to start another batch sometime soon.  I would be most interested in following other adventures in sausage making.

Cure # 1 is used in 90% of sausages. Cure # 2 is used for dried or fermented sausage.
The difference is sodium nitrate and sodium nitrite

Here is a link to a Bradley site that is called "sausage making a-z"

This should help any beginner.
