Well just pulled the dogs out! running between 52 and 54 degrees. Water never got over 160 degrees. i still see grease in the water. And when i poked a couple to check temps some sprayed water. But I see pockets of grease in casings. I am cooling in ice water now.  Will post pics with and with out casings in a little bit. I think I may have too much grease in the meat. did a 50/50 beef and pork. Cut all fat from pork and used 80/20 burger. Didn't think that would be too much. But its the only thing I can think of now.

Well these are a lot better. Still getting a lot of grease pockets. But they look good and taste good.
Here is what i seen when cooling in the sink.

Does this look normal? I know your going to get some but this seems like a lot I guess.
These are after pealing the casings Which I just squeezed and they come right out.

Viper, they look good to me.  When you say you poke and you get a spray of water I think you are getting fat that is under pressure.  I have shot a hot stream of grease all over the kitchen so that is normal.  A store bought dog has more fat than what you are making.  The fat is distributing through out the meat.  Yes you will get some fat between the casing and a run thru warm water will take it off.  I think it is normal to get fat floating in the water so I would not worry about it.  The main thing is if you are happy with the results and they taste good then you done good.  ;D


Enough ain't enough and too much is just about right.
