Title: Beef summer Sausage
Post by: devo on April 05, 2011, 03:42:33 PM
Bought the beef summer sausage Seasoning from the sausagemaker . com 
So today I did up 10lbs. with the pickman_95 stuffer. Recipe says if you want a tang than add fermento and I did but before you smoke it you have to refrigerate for 2 days. So off they went for a 2 day rest. More to follow.

All mixed up in my cabela's meat mixer

Ended up with 3 & a bit of 2X24 inch from 10lbs.

Don

It appears you have lots of room left in the stuffer. You are going to have to find a larger supply of meat to fill that thing. I am looking forward to the finished product pictures.

How long does it take to mix the meat in that mixer??

I was thinking about trying this also......very curious how it tastes. I made beef summer sausage with the venison summer sausage seasoning from Sausagemaker.com, not to bad.I thought it taste really close to LEM's summer sausage.....I personally like LEM's better after a side by side taste test, but that is just me.

Never really timed it Kirby but not very long and sure beats getting your hand frost bitten  ;)

I hear people complaining about cleaning it up but I don't think its a big deal. Washes up pretty easy if you ask me.

Nice looking SS, Devo ;)
If you buy alot of pre made spice mixes I have a supplier that has
some really awesome SS mix. Well at least anyone I have served it to
as really liked it.  I am in SW Ontario, PM and I can send you the 411
if you would like.

Smoked them suckers today. Don't know what I was thinking when I made them. Forgot the 4 rack is only so big. Couldn't hang the long ones and they don't fit on the racks unless you bend them  ;D
Oh well live and learn as they say. Still they came out pretty good.

Here they are in the smoker

Here they are in the pool making snow angels  ;D.

And here they are tucked in a bed of snow cooling down.

Don't worry Devo we have all done that once. The next time you make them you will remember to measure the racks and make a pencil mark on the counter so you know when to stop stuffing the casing. They look really good making them snow angel in the pool. Can't wait to see a finished cut pic

Whoops.  ;D Thats the main reason I got the 6 rack.

They are lookin better more and more, cant wait for the money shot.

I dont slice the sausage till the next day or two, gives the flavors more time to blend and the smoke more time to sink in.

I throw them in the fridge for 48 hr then dig in.

I'm just sayin.

Looks great, what kind of beef was it? Just ground or something else?
