How To Make Homemade Ring Bologna - Recipe
-
rjsenk I just made some Kielbasa here from the same seasoning, used venison and it came out amazing! If you want a tip I added pork fat that I froze, then only ground once through a 3/8" plate and then only added during the last 60 seconds of mixing. This made it where the fat was in big clumps, so once you bit into a piece of it the fat started melting right away. It’s not something I would recommend on a brat or snack sticks but I think I like it on larger diameter sausages.
Really simple smoke schedule was:
120° for 30 with no smoke or humidity and dampers wide open
140° for 1 hour with smoke and humidity
185° until the internal temp was 160° -

rjsenk I used the Ring Bologna casings and that is what I would recommend you use. Just remember the rule of 15s with non-edible collagen casings. That is that they need to be soaked in water that has a 15% salt cnotent, for 15 minutes and the water needs to be 15°C (59° F). As long as you do that you should have no problem.

There are several manufactures that make Bologna seasonings and I have tried two of them but have not found the exact taste I am looking for although everybody that tried my attempts loved it. If your google Trail balogna casings you will find a dark ringed 43mm aprox 18" long curved collagen non edible casing with strings attached that you are looking for. I am still searching for a recipe that will give me the taste of Troyers Trail Balogna made back in Ohio that I grew up eating. The batch mix I use is 20 lb lean meat, 5lb beef fat, 1 oz cure salt,1 lb powered milk or binder, 2quarts water and what ever spice mix u use. I grind fat 1/8", then grind meat 3/8" then thoroughly mix meat and ground fat together, then regrind the mix 1/8" then mix all spice, cure, binder with cold water and then thoroughly mix it all together and then stuff. You need to soak casing for 1/2 hour prior to stuffing and I use hog ring to crimp. I then follow gradual smoke schedule till 160 degrees.

mrhammer Yes you absolutely can, it might have a slightly different taste than you are used to but it is 100% fine to do. Aim for fat content of between 20-25%.

You can use collagen, which is what those are, they are the inedible kind that must be soaked in 15°C water, that is 15% salt for 15 minutes (rule of 15s) and peeled before consuming. You can also use hog just don’t go over 2 feet for the total length of one “run”. Sheep is probably too small and fibrous probably has too big of a diameter in the lengths you would be looking for. However, if you can find a 1-1.5 inch diameter in a 20+ inch length you could us those too!

Great will give that a try once lock down is finished we were due to finish on Friday 17th April but this has already been extended to end of April so hopefully 1st of May life as normal can resume, also we cannot buy and liquor since shut down(a daft decision if you ask me).
Keep safe all -

That’s cruel and unusual punishment.
