Rindswurst completed

[cobra6223]

Well finally did the rindswurst, the coworker who had the idea said the texture was spot on however he thought they had a little to much sage, after we stuffed them I fried up what was left and I also thought there was to much sage but after letting them rest, bloom and smoke I couldn't taste the sage. The same we did the sausage we also did 24# of brats and 8# of hotdogs, so in the end we had 99 brats, 18 hotdogs and 16 sausage. In the pic with the ingredients I noticed I forgot the oatmeal, all in all very good sausage. Here's the process.

again spices minus the oatmeal



all spices mixed and ground just a little with the oatmeal




5# 80/20 GB




GB and all spices mixed and  ready to stuff


all stuffed using natural hog casing, approx. 5 oz per link


out of smoker, into hot water till IT 152-155


into the icy waters for a cool down


hanging to bloom


money shot


finally 16 rindswurst and 99 brats



I forgot to get pics of them for an hour to get up to room temp and pic of them in smoker. It was a very fun weekend doing all the sausages though .

Sage is one of those ingredients that makes it appearance readily known (just like clove) in a recipe. It can easily over-power other seasonings and, used heavy-handedly, can totally overwhelm the flavor-profile whether in sausage, stuffing, potato dishes, chops, etc. Good to see the smoking process muted it enough so as not to dominate.
