Brat casing size

I love the pretubed. They load easily, have fewer blow outs or holes, and store well. Well worth the extra cost for a home processor.

WiscoHunter1995 Granted its a little different for me but when I go natural I use tubed all the time. You don’t have to untangle or flush the inside of them as they have been preflushed and are on the sleeves already. Plus in general only the best “runs” are selected for being loaded onto the tubes, so you get a little better casing too.

Now, for the controversial part…I like 30/32 Tubed Hog Casings for Brats as they fit a little better in a bun in my opinion. However, 32/35mm is absolutely the standard for brats.

Jonathon you are just used to working with smaller things…

Jonathon I agree on the 30/32 do fit better on a hotdog bun. Although I do find brat buns on occasion that work great for the larger size brat.

[bocephus]

Tex_77 Now that is really being mean.

[Denny O]

bocephus Maybe but, Tex_77 understands all too well the issue that a 30/32 causes.

Jonathon I usually use brat buns specifically when making brats, but definitely agree with you to use the 30mm if using a standard hotdog bun. I also like the smaller diameter for rope sausages

Jonathon I like the fact that 32/35 are also $10 cheaper.

AND they do an extra batch per bundle:

Size Capacity
28-30mm - 80 lb
30-32mm - 105 lb
32-35mm - 125 lb
35-38mm - 125 lb
38-42mm - 150 lb
42-45mm - 160 lb

My favorite part is that I can run my entire 15lb stuffer into a single casing run. Nice to only have to load casings 2x for a 25lb+ batch
