While I haven't posted in a while, I still troll here to see what is going on.
I tried a new recipe (for me) and it came out very good.  It was Len Poli's Smoke Beef Summer Sausage.  I followed the amounts very close and the only thing I had different was I used pork fat instead of Beef trim.  And another comment I have on it: the mustard seeds, I tried crushing them, next time I will put them in my coffee grinder for a second or two.  I pulled the sausage from the smoker when I got ITs of 154 to 158 in four different places

Ready to go into smoker:


Out of the smoker and after cooling down:


Slice and ready for freezer:


This tasted very good.

I also made bierwurst (from Rytek Kutas's book) recently.  It turn out good, but forgot to take pictures while making.

And today I bottled a blond ale, will have to wait now for a couple of weeks to taste and see how it turned out.

When I make venison sausage I use whole mustard seeds. I really like  it that way. Going to have to try beef summer sausage one day. Looks good.
