1/2 teaspoon of Cayenne. You a very funny man Nepas. More like 1/2 of a Tones Shorty.
Looks like the way I measure the cayenne.
To taste. ;)
Got the summer sausage all stuffed. Even a 3/4lb small one ;D

Hanging at 130* for an hour then PID is bumping in 10* increments to 180*

I got to pick up some of those large casings so I can give this a try. They look great! :)
Did you stuff them with the 5# stuffer?

Yeah i used the 5lb stuffer with a 3/4" tube. Took me like 10 mins to stuff tie and ring em.

hi Nepas, What are you using to tie the sausages to, that allows them to hang?
Cheers

I use butcher twine, make a loop and attatch with a hog ring so the weight of the sausage dont make it slip from the loop.

Na, the bar across the top you have tied the twine over
Thanks

Ya know the special blend turned out pretty good on the sausage. Might have to keep a box in my inventory ;D
I didnt get a chance to take pics of the final, i sealed them and they are off to SD to my neighbors son.
