browning bones

Instead of roasting bones in the oven, I throw them on the BBQ. I get a quick and very nice browning and them add them to my stock pot.

hydrating flour

Hi Ross: When you say you are adding 83% water based on the total weight of the dry ingredient are you saying that for 16 ozs of dry ingredients you are adding 13.28 ozs of water?

long casings

Hi Siamon: I have also had these long skinny sausages while over in Mainz Germany. I see them mostly served in the mornings in take out windows as a breakfast sausage. My guess is that they are just a 22 mm sheep casing. The ones I had were bent in half and served on a fresh bun. Very yummy.

sliding casing on to a funnel

I find it much easier to slide on the casings if I first crank the stuffer until the sausage is just starting to stick out of the end of the funnel and then slide on the casings. The little knob of sausage meat acts like a lubricator and the casings slide on with little effort.

Hope this helps.

oven or smoker?

I think my collegue from Vancouver Island has called it correctly as an oven. They would first build a fire in the upper chamber to heat it up. When the desired temperature was reached, they would shovel the coals out and deposit them in the lower chamber just to get the coals out of the way. They w...

curing chamber

Very nice work !. You inspired me to get going on one of these for myself. I see on ebay there is a controller that has both humidity and temperature all in one box for about $ 30.00. http://www.ebay.com/itm/110V-WH8040-Digital-Humidity-Controller-W-humidity-temperature-sensor-probe-/360542743493?pt...

Mondo starter culture

Hi Redzed: I have a recipe from MMIS for a Cervelat salami and they specify 1/2 gram of Modno 2m culture per kilo of meat. I am not sure how this compares to your 1/2 tsp per 5 pounds of meat, but I thought you would be interested.

Good luck with it.
