Technically Cure#1 is specified in terms of parts per million. Parts per million calculations to me are a little bit dangerous because if you screw up you are off by a few decimal places. I calculate my cure#1 as 0.25% by mass just like sleebus.jones for sausage. Also that specification is by max allowable by the FDA. How much do you need to still be effective? I have no idea. I haven't seen that anywhere. So in all honesty, slightly under isn't the end of the world. Like dward51 I also use a bulk scale and a fine measurement scale.

At least cure #1 is pretty common at the 6.25% strength. Cure #2 I've found to be all over the place, which means when you are doing long-duration air dried charcuterie, you have to recalculate your recipe to match the correct PPM of ingoing nitrite for the cure you're doing. Doing cured meats is not for the faint of heart or those who don't pay attention to details. You can make you and your family sick, and worse case you can end up with deadly results.

I'm just now getting back to this. What is the recommended soak time for the hog casing?
Thanks, Matt

I know it says venison but this stuff works really well with beef and pork, really really good.

mcyork28, If you get a chance, give my recipe a shot. Cut the herbs and bump up the cayenne and you're pretty much at a Texas Hot Gut sausage. I got the recipe from an interview that Daniel Vaughn did with Evan Leroy and made some tweaks. I've ordered the fresh beef sausage from Southside Market in Elgin and mine is pretty damn close. It's meant to be cooked on the pit with brisket or whatever you want. I've gotta try Sleebus.jones's recipe. It looks excellent! |

Thanks,
Dustin Dorsey, Do you have a link to your recipe? Sleebus.Jones recipe came out really well but I would like to experiment a bit. Matt mcyork28, If you get a chance, give my recipe a shot.

I post it earlier in the thread. Here it is again:
Here's my take on it. 66% chuck roast 22% pork shoulder 11% brisket fat Then everything else is calculated as a percentage of that combined meat and fat weight.. Other ingredients were 10% Water 1.5% Kosher salt 1.5% Tallicherry Pepper 0.25% cure #1 (neccessary for slow smoking but I think it adds to the flavor) 0.05% cayenne pepper 0.05% marjoram (completely optional) 0.025% sage (completely optional) I added the herbs just to give it something extra. More traditional would be to leave those out. This recipe is designed to be hot smoked. It holds up from 225 to 275, but I'm sure 350 would be ok. I season the meat and let it sit overnight to cure. Then I use a coarse grind. Then I add the water and mix by hand until tacky and stuff in natural hog casings. Basically, if you use a 3 lb chuck roast and 1 lb of pork shoulder then 1/2 pound of brisket fat (the hard stuff is fine) then you've got the right ratio, but I use what I have. Sometimes, I use the leftover trimmings of pork ribs if I turned some spares into St. Louis cut. If you aggressively trim you briskets you could use those trimmings for the beef instead of the chuck. I put tallicherry pepper in the recipe but honestly just some store bought coarse ground black pepper is fine. You might up the cayenne to .10% if you want a spicier sausage. I tend to be really careful with that stuff. This recipe has a TON of black pepper so I find it's spicy enough. You could also sub out the water for beer to add something extra. The advantage of using ratios is that it's way easier to tweak and make a recipe your own. Also I can easily scale the recipe to whatever leftover scraps I have in the freezer. Here's a link to another forum where I cooked it. https://tvwbb.com/showthread.php?712...t=beef+sausage Last edited by Dustin Dorsey; 12-14-2018 at 11:00 AM.. |
