Lil' old sausage maker me

[NePaSmoKer]

Thanks for the recipes

How many times did you hear "There's a reason they call it a Grinder and not a Stuffer" during the whole process?

Not so much heard it as mumbled it to myself in between curses, that and "yep, gonna order a stuffer".

Did have one question if anyone can answer.
I stuffed the casing, twisted it into small links. So I end up with a long sausage twisted into say 8 links. How can I separate the links without having them unravel? it is easy to do when I cook them, but if I wanted to freeze in small quantities it appears that if I cut it into smaller qty of links the end ones would unravel. Do I need to tie the ends where I cut with string?

Also, what do folks find "better" -- natural or collegan casings?

Twist 1 away and the next twist towards you, away, towards on down the sausage.
