| We love making sausages. It all started about 18 years ago when we wanted duplicate sausages from the various regions of Thailand. We're over in Alamo about an hour plus from you! Where do you buy the casings, especially the sheep/lamb casings? | |||

| This looks like a very good web site. I am getting really excited about making my own sausages. I have acquired several deer and I am interrested in making venison sausages. I will try the recipies as they are printed first, then if I like the finished product, I will substitute the venison. I have viewed several web sites over the last few days and this one is the best that I have found. | |||

PS, I noticed that you have a Bradley smoker, as I do. I cannot get mine to cold smoke. Even with the main heating element off, the temp dial reads near 150F. Any thoughts? | |||

| Your Web site on this subject is excellent. I found it very helpful. I am a qualified Chef but have never made my own cured meat products. As I always thought it was too dangerous, and in fact here in Melbourne,Australia there have been deaths from badly handled commercial sausage production that have caused new laws to be introduced, and now we have a system called HAACP. Anyway if I can get a "Walk In" set up I would give it a go. P.S. you look like someone who enjoys sausages! Regards Jim. | |||

| I really enjoy reading about your sausage making experiences. I have made several types of fresh sausages, and look forward to making some dried varieties. As I live in Portland, OR, we lack the humidity to dry sausages in my crawlspace. I'll have to invest in a refrigerator and some type of hydrating device. Keep up the good work. Keith | |||

| Dear Mr. Poli, Excellent web-site and your recipes are gems. Thanks for providing know how that has been kept by others as trade secrets or within the family for generations. I am a Greek Cypriot and two cured type prepared meats we have on the island are the Cypriot pork Sausage called 'loukaniko' and pork loin cured called 'Lountza'. Both are marinated in wine, some leave them in wines for days other for more that a week, others pre-cure and then add to wine, others add to wine/brine mixture from day 1. Typical spices are salt, pepper, corriander and we never use preservatives such as nirates or nitrites etc. You will not find these receipes anywhere. Cypriots prepare most cured meats in the winter period when the low temparatures reduce spoliage. Both are typically smoked using shrubs and branches/leaves from the local mediterranean flora. But the wine is key. Once again thanks and please continue with your invaluable info. like the latest humidity control article. Achilleas | |||

| Hi Len, Thanks for the great information and backgrounds on sausage making. After decades of disappointment with retail sausage and the stuff local butchers returned to me I have started making my own sausage, beginning with my lifelong favorite: summer sausage. My first batch was good, second great, and third batch just completed is fantastic, schmecks gut! It really is a rewarding hobby, fun, and turns out a product that is far tastier and leaner than anything butchers have returned to me. I also know that my deer and elk meat is truly mine and is as clean and fresh as I want it to be. Thanks for the recipes and advice as it was very helpful in the technical aspects and it provided the encouragement and confidence to actually try it. Had I known it could be done I would have been making my own sausage for decades..............karl | |||

| Great website Len! My father-in-law introduced me to making homemade sausage with his buddies and I fell in love with it. I bought two old fashion meat grinders (each has different grinder blades...and they only cost $8/piece so what the hell) from an antique store and I am digging into some of your recipes this Saturday. Thanks for the info and I will let you know how it goes. Also hope to maybe post something unique to your website in the future. Greg - Sacramento | |||

| "Freezing Pickle" Does anyone know the active ingredients in this? It is listed as the curing agent in many old sausage recipes from central Wisconsin. I am not sure what it is. email me if you are able to help me with this research. | |||

I remember making sausage on butchering day very fondly as that was my job, but it has been nearly 30 years ago now! thank you for sharing your great recipes! | |||

| Hi Len, Thank you very much for responding to my enquiry and request for your opinion on sausage grinders/stuffers. I believe that even my little KithenAid sausage grinder will grind meats satisfactorily if I keep the meat very cold (so I don't want to blame the grinder for operator ineffectiveness). I believe that I will be better off if I buy a decent sausage stuffer (keeping in mind your well-mentioned issues of flexibility). It seems that if I buy a well built stuffer with flexibility in tube size (say, up to one and one quarter inch) I'd be able to make pepperoni, summer and brats, filling natural and artificial casings. Any advice on stuffers (I see you use a horizontal one)?. You have a great website, and I thank you in advance for any advice and wisdom you may throw my way. Thanks again, Bob Parson | |||

| I tried making salami from a homemade family recipe and I had a major problem. My salami was hollow in the middle (or mostly hollow) and brown in color--only the outer edge of the salami was red. What am I doing wrong? Can you please e-mail me and tell me? I had to throw 6 salami in the garbage after all that work. | |||

| Len, Many thanks for providing such a wealth of information! Recently I have had the opportunity of purchasing the trimmings of commercial boiled ham from a local ham and longanisa factory. What are your thoughts on making some sausage with these? The ham by itself is delicious but the price is very low and I'm looking for a use for this product. It is of course completely cured and is just the offcuts from hams which are shaped to fit into Poly bags. Yours thoughts and/or is\deas would be much appreciated. My wife (a Filipina) and I retired way back in 2003 I'm now 67 and we keep goats and make our own cheese and have a couple of small farms. Regards, Bill. | |||
