Welcome to the forum Knifeman! Always nice to have another member from the Wet Coast come aboard! :lol: Lot's of info and recipes here and help when you need it. Since you already have experience in the meat industry, sausage making will be like a second nature to you. Start by reading the section about making sausages by clicking on the meatsandsausages.com banner at the top of this page. There is also a link there to hundreds of recipes. If you want to start by experimenting with making patties, look through the options under Fresh Sausage Recipes. You also might want to contact Stuffers Supply in Langley to see if they will be offering any classes in sausage making in the near future.

Good luck and feel free ask any qustions that you might have.

Kijek and Redzed !

Thanks very much for the warm welcome and directions to start me on my journey ! Really looking forward to this !

Sausage making is a whole different segment of the meat industry that I am not familiar with . I have removed many whole muscle cuts of pork and beef that were used for curing ,wet and dry, and fresh cuts of meat. As you know this involved trimmings that were used for sausage making . If I can help others with what I know with my limited knowledge that would be great .

The green book is a great all round book https://www.amazon.com/Home-Production- ... 4CVSKUSLLD

The Yellow one is more for fermented sausage https://www.amazon.com/The-Art-Making-F ... KWAKIZOORM

Yes its a great Idea! As Redzed said above much of that info is here: https://www.meatsandsausages.com/

Greetings all,
I'm glad to have finally signed up for this forum, wish I could understand Polish but sadly can't, as there are so many interesting looking videos on the Polish site. I have made a bit of sausage starting with Rytek Kutas' book and then the Marianski brothers. I am currently working on the Polish techniques in Marianski's book, dry curing cubes for three days and then combining with an emulsion, cold smoking, cooking in a water bath and re-smoking. I want to expand to more dried sausages, perhaps of a Hungarian sort and someday I want to get brave enough to tackle the fermented, uncooked variety. I also want to learn how to make other cured meat products like pastrami, tried once but it was inedible.
Looking forward to discussions.

I'm going to stick my neck out here, and hopefully the pros will not think I'm stepping on toes.

But Wurst, you mentioned making corned beef & pastrami, that is one area that I feel very comfortable in giving advice, so feel free to ask me questions.

I'm gonna add that this site has many members from all walks of life that have religiously practiced charcuterie, but some are still learning like myself.

Keep active in here, keep asking questions, and before you know it, you will know who is who and who knows the real stuff, but everyone works and collaborates together to form something special here, I'm glad to see you join up!

Hi All

Stephen here from sunny France, although it does show UK coz you don't have France in your drop down menu when you sign up (that's BAD) I was born in the uk but have lived in France for over 10 years.
Been making sausages and patties for many years (my father was a chef) nothing really special I tend to make it up as I make the mix so joining this site will be interesting and I'm sure I'll learn a lot from you guys & girls.

All the best
Stephen
If all else fails ......
Read the instructions !!!!
