Re: First Liverwurst

That looks great! I've thought about using chicken liver for the same reason, can't find anything else without special ordering. I think you've convinced me to give it a try.

Re: New Smoker Build Questions

What will be your heat source, and do you plan on using the the circulator fan that in the unit?
I have the same setup but had to put the project on hold due to the cost of repair parts.

Re: Venison Sausages

it would not be easy to mix 25lbs of sausage batter by hand Thanks for the reply Chris, I guess i didn't realize ya had 25 pounds going, although looking back at your pic's of them blooming on the rack I should have known. :roll: I usually only do 5-10 lbs at a time, is it accurate to say the more ...

Re: Venison Sausages

Very nice looking sausage Redzed, I'm adding it to my long list of products to try.
One question I have is why such a long mix time? A few minutes by hand would give you a good bind, what more does 12 minutes with a power mixer give you. Thanks.

Re: Smoked Liver Sausage and Cure #1

Thanks for the recipe Redzed, I been thinking about ordering some pork liver for sausage. At what point in your process do you add your cure?

Re: Smoked Liver Sausage and Cure #1

I guess you could cure the liver beforehand, they mix in with the bacon, but to be honest I don't know a liver sausage that uses cure. The ones I see are pre cooked liver that are heat processed, then cold smoked.
I'm sure someone will be along with more knowledge and give ya good advise

Re: The herb 'savory' in sausage question

I'd go with summer, I think winter savory is bitter. but then again it would depend on the recipe.

Re: Odd grinder

That was the way they were back in the day.
We still have one that we use for grinding toast,onions and celery for Thanksgiving dressing/stuffing. It also works well for grinding liver for pate', but never tried it with raw meat. I'd bet it would work ok if the meat was cubed small and semi frozen.
