I’m very happy for you! Congratualions! I don’t drink so the whiskey would dimply be returned so they can give it away to the next winner. But the shot gun would get plum warn out! I love to throw steel shot!
May I suggest that you get a copy of Stanley and Adam Marinski’s book "home production of quality meats and sausages ". Fantastic resource for not only very good tried and true recipes. But all of the knowledge you could ever need on everything meat oriented. Basic recipe development etc. They have never failed me once. I’m sure there are used copies out there that are readily available as well of money is a factor. Best of luck to you on your recipe development! Believe it or not. It is my understanding that the majority of consistancy issues are in the way folks measure ingredients. Of course there are some quality issues of those ingredients as well. But MOST of that can be mitigated as well fairly easy in my experience. Best of luck again!
Pretty rough sledding on this one friend. there is obviously something VERY simple that is wrong with this stuffer (if anything at all) You might want to try adding the proper amount of water to your meat block prior to stuffing. Believe it or not that very sell could be your entire challenge. Best of luck to you. maybe there is an app out there that will stuff it for you. LAUGHS.
