Finally got around too it

Well finally got last years deer made into sausage. We took the choicest cuts way earlier. We always have everyone come over and turn the sausage making into a event. With covid this year, we’ll like everything else did not work out.

Had to press my beautiful wife into service and of course my father. 35 Lbs each of sweet Italian and bratwurst. 30/70 pork to deer.

Yummy looking

Looks nice, now do you air dry them or smoke them, my dad (we are Italian) hangs his pork sausages to air dry in the fruit cellar, do you do the same.

Vacuum pack and freeze.

To clarify, they are vacuumed packed and frozen in the raw so to speak. Then once taken out of the freezer, they must be cooked from raw then, correct?

Any chance of posting your recipe for bulk like that? I bought a decent grinder last year, and look forward to making sausages this fall. Do you recommend doing say 10ish lb batches, or all at once if you were to have quite a bit? Thanks

buy our spices and casings from this company.

We have tried:
Sweet Italian
Hot Italian (it’s hot!)
Bratwursts
October fest
Hot jumbalia( hot!)
Honey (no one liked)
Sun dried tomatoes( no one liked)
Mild Italian

The packaging has instructions for mixing. We have gotten to the point where it’s mixed by eye but started by weighing everything on a old bathroom scale.

Usually do 30-40 pounds at a time.
We add less pork and more water then we used too because we like the venison taste.

Everyone's tastes are different, but how would you rank the flavours listed from best to wurst (sic, lol)

Stay away from the hot!!! Especially at the hunting camp with one outhouse.

Cannot tank them more then the comments in brackets.

Looks great!

I've seen hot sausages drive a grown man away from a card table at the camp. The one Italian guy (Marco) brought up a pile of really good home made Italian garlic/red chilli pepper sausages that were out of this world. The boys had been pigging them during the day when they were hunting. The combined stink from five guys at the card table finally put the old boy over the top, who had been raised in an era where farting was not considered funny. He finally slammed his cards down on the table and barked " boys, I am PARTICULARLY NOT FOND OF YOUR STENCH!!!". This set the one guy off in hysterics, and as he was laughing he lost control of his guts and let out one of those gattling gun stutter farts that must have gone on for a good 10 seconds. . The wall of dung hit the old boy like a grain shovel in the side of the head. He got up mad as hell, cursing, and stormed out the door (with five guys crying now). They blamed it on Marco.....
