Title: Summer Sausage Casings
Post by: Tenpoint5 on October 19, 2010, 11:27:12 AM
Brian If this is in the wrong place please put it in the right one.

OK Guys and Gals I was doing a little searching for a better price on my Brat seasoning that I buy. ($3.99 for 25# of Brats) I found it for $1.823 but I have to buy it by the case 50 packages at a time. That isn't much of a problem. What I did find is that this place also sells Summer Sausage casings. I called them and they are sending me a new updated catalog and the current price list. I am thinking that if there is enough interest I will put together an order and once it arrives I will send them out to those that would like to join in. Here's what we are looking at:

2 1/2 x 20 Mahogany                $.36 (1-999) $.34 (1000+)

2 1/2 x 20 Clear                       $.33 (1-999) $.30 (1000+)

40 x 18 Clear Collagen Rounds   $.35 (1-999) $.33 (1000+)

If you think you might be interested in getting in on an order let me know and we can see about doing this.

Chris.

Did your source of casings have a good price on hog casings. This last year I was paying $37 per hank. I believe they would do 120 pounds. The casings that I got were fresh but salted and frozen. [not the salted and dried version]

Thanks for checking.

I would imagine by the time we add freight I would be about where I am now. The store I get them from keep them in fresh all the time.

Hey Guys I also found another place that I can get the Honeycomb casing as well. The tube I bought is 80mm x 49ft it only cost me $54.18 plus shipping. Compared to what I have seen around the internet. That is a damn good price!! I also sweet talked the nice young lady into sending me some clear fibrous casing samples. OK she offered to send them she sent me 10 of them to try. Here is a couple of pics of the casings I got. BTW I ordered on Friday received on Monday.

The Honeycomb casing. I have to make my own casings but I can make them any size I want. I like that option.

So you tie the 'honeycomb' around the actual casing?   Looks interesting...

what purpose does the "honeycomb" serve?? 
Is it just for looks?
Did they really come all the way from Mexico?

No the honeycomb is already around the casing. The honey comb is for looks and when sliced will give you a daisy flower shaped slice of meat. I am not sure where these came from but the box the box is from the fibrous casing samples and it may have been made in Mexico.
