Thank you, I going with out on a 10 lb batch. Sounds like enough said they did not like it. Its all bout experimenting, go safe first. Will try it later if I think It it would be good after theis try.

I have made Blue Ribbon Brats, breakfast, H summer.
The flavor is awesome, really great, but seems to be too strong in each. I do the math, with the scale also compare to the chart too. Brats was 15 meat, breakfast was 15lbs. The third was the summer ssusage, I had 11 lbs and weighted out the unit mix for 10lbs, this was a bit better, but still strong.

My question is:
Are others reducing the amount of mix per pound?
If so any formula to it?

Last I am getting fat eating all the sausage! That H Summer is killer!

Made a batch of Jalapeño snack sticks last year, felt it needed more Jalapeño. I have dried Jalapeño, looking for a ratio to increase/ include more Jalapeño to the mix.

Thank you in advance.

The season was weighed using the conversion chatr. I suspect the sure gel.

Meat block - Pork but
Blue Ribbon seasons
Sure gel per coversion chart
Good protien extraction
Hog case

Tastes great but the sausage has a spongy feel to them.
Is it the sure gel?

I processed 12 lbs of pepperoni sticks, let them sit out to dry about 5 hrs, then vac packed N into freezer. Not overly happy they are wet coming out ofvthe package. I needed more drying time in my smoke schedule. I did get them to 160, and did a ice bath, 5 hr dry time .

So coukd I defrost, and put in smoker to dry and bring to 160 again??? My thoughts are no, but figure I would ask.

ECA in Taco season snack sticks Yea or Nay?

I bought the smoked kelbasa mix. First try with this one. Does this has smoked Flavor in it? I plan on Stuffing in hog casings, should Smoke them too? Do I nred to be careful not to put too much smoke during the cook?

Making Jalapeño snack sticks in Am, dhould I use encapsulated citric acid, or is this not a good add to this season?
Thankyou


Tex_77 had Brats to night, peppers and onions on sub toll. Of course , always analyzing. The spice was strong, felt if I could reduce it, it would really be the perfect Brat.
Really love the flavor of the blue ribbon.
