Had some time to do a quick batch of brats the other night so I made up a 5 ld batch.
Started with a plain ol pork butt cut out the bone (in record time bout 35 sec.)
and cut up for the grinder.

The casings are 32 mm collagen they work great for a quickie and cook up fine no one can tell the diff when they are cooked except the curve the natural ones have.
Thats another reason I got the 12" long stuffing tubs. I shoot them out in one long sausage then cut to length.
Hi OU812,
Those look fantastic!
I've tried those casings (got mine from Cabelas) but had trouble with them not staying shut after twisting them and cutting between sausages.
Is there a secret to twisting them?
Thanks,
Carolyn

After you stuff them let them sit for a wile, the protein in the casing's will loosen up then twist, one clockwise the next counter clockwise and so on.
I made up your venison breakfast sausage lastnight they were great. I thought they need a little more heat but the women thought they were just fine.
Thanks!
Yes, that sausage does just fine if you increase the heat.
My limiting factor is my 7 year old daughter, she doesn't like it too hot.
Carolyn
Here is how you twist and link.
First you twist each sausage you want into the length. Next twist the other the opposite direction, twist the third the opposite and then toss one over the other to form linked sausages. easy Its a secret receipt :D :D
