Title: First try summer sausage
Post by: septemberelk on April 30, 2017, 10:42:03 PM

I did a batch of summer sausage the other day. I will do more of this again. I added cheddar cheese to half the batch and pepper jack to the other. I ground the beef and pork through a course plate on my grinder, and I thought the texture might be off but it seemed ok. Smoked with Apple 👍

Nicely done Mike! Is that a collagen casing you used?

I used the 2.5"x20" non edible fibrous casings. I got them up to temperature then pulled them and put them in a ice water bath. After they cooled I dried them and let them bloom. The casing is tight and no wrinkles.

Looks amazing. I just got a smoker for my Birthday and I want to make some summer for this up coming hunting season. Can I ask what temp you set the smoker too, meat temp at finish and how you store it? Thanks Dave
