    Same here, tie a knot in beginning and leave about 6 inches at the end to knot it.

          JoeB i couldnt imaging using a brat casing for snack sticks. However for brats i run 35-38mm. So is the 32mm more of a hotdog? Or are hot dogs like 26mm?

              twilliams I think Jon said once that normal brat size is 28-32mm. The size of brats you are making must be Fred Flintstone size brats!

                  twilliams Again my friend its you labor of love. I only use fresh casing. So they very in size. I have 22mm sheep’s for hotdogs and breakfast sausage and. 32-35 for old fashioned Bockwurst, Brats. and early 1900’s hotdogs. It is whatever you want it to be. No rules here, just how you want to make it. You should make sausage in the memory of the way you think it should be.

                    Tex_77 —. 8 years in Europe… That’s the way I like them, that’s the way I remember them. Don’t think it would be healthy to tell a German butcher his sausage is the wrong size. 😟

                        #32mm snack sticks? Bigger than a Cuban cigar. Wow.
                        I’m using 30-32 for brats. 19 for sticks.
                        twilliams made this last batch a little longer than your standard store brat. A couple of co-workers I gave some to were like, they’re longer than the bun. Yep… That was the plan.

                              twilliams said in How to seal off collagen or natural casing:

                              typical brat size is 32-35mm

                              That’s the size I use for just about every sausage except the ones I like in sheep casing. It’s such a versatile size–small enough for sandwich or wrap but large enough for slicing.

                              That said, I like larger casings for sausages I know will be sliced, when I want more of a chew to it, or when I want that sort of “sausage on a stick at the county fair” feel to it.
