Will do then. I have Blow out sausage and stuffing sausage leftover. Will make into patties. I tried some up. Good flavor. Was thinking a lil bit hotter, but it's good.
I just mixed up a batch of Cajun sausage. Was going to get Andouille. Added cure, some liquid smoke and set over night. Getting my new stuffer as I type this.
Question. After smoked, can you put on grill? Or is this only for dishes? Do you have to let this settle/meld for better...
How long is it recommended that you leave in the fridge before freezing to get that cure taste out, I have noticed less and less from the one stick that i have cut... It has been a week now...
Just an update, Sausage is mostly, Cured, and tastes GREAT... I am going to leave it hang the next few days... let that nitrate to nitrite relationship, work itself out..

My meat. 10 lbs each, I will mix in batches of 2.5 lbs and each baggie representing 5 lbs of meat, with a teaspoon of cure...
Here is the stuffed pic.. 2 sticks have added Hi Temp Cheese, Jalapeno and Habanerno.
I get the better to have less than more. I wonder what the odds are if half the cure added is. Well that makes me feel better. 23 net weight sausage. 26 gross weight (after beer) 4.5 teaspoon of cure.
I would guess I had 23 lbs of total raw ground meat. I used the first 4 batches 5 pounds at a time. Equal cure/seasoning/beer. Last 2.5-3 pounds I used half of each. Better?
Never thought that the beer would add weight. I put in 5 lb batches. Got 6 out. Then my buddy had prolly 1.5-1-75 lb packages and that messed with me. I'm sure a 1/4 tsp of cure won't hurt but I did try to get as close as I could.
Got around 25-26 lbs of finished Venison Sausage made. (with Beer and seasoning and cure per 5 lbs) . The one donor of sausage said his pound packages were not all a pound, some or most were more.. I was getting scared..I am not accustomed to this..I would say I feel safe in my measurements I...
