Kielbasa - 1st Attempt
-
You can definitely taste the garlic and pepper, but I wouldn’t say it was strong. There is a saltiness to it that builds the more you eat. Not overpowering, but if you are not a salt fan, you probably wouldn’t eat a lot of it strait. I plan on putting some in Jumbalya tonight.

Grimpuppy Tks thought so wasn’t sure couldnt picture it holding together if naked meant casing removed.

Grimpuppy Have my first batch of kielbasa in the smoker. Learned alot from your attempt reporting. Thanks. I’m not sure I have the patience for 7 hours at 170°. I may cheat and sous vide at the end. We’ll have to see. Not sure what the affect will be but added whole mustard seed to mine.

Had a pound of pork left from the kielbasa so made a pound of Bavarian Oktoberfest brats. Been wanting to try it and this seemed like a good time.

wdaly I slept for 5 hours of it, so it wasn’t to bad. Can’t wait to see how yours turns out.

wdaly I like whole mustard seed, especially in my fresh and smoked Polish. It gives it a little pop of flavor. I am sure that you will enjoy too.

YooperDog I agree I put whole mustard seeds in almost everything, love popping them with my teeth.

cdavis no worries, I don’t even know how to tell there is a down vote…
-
Grimpuppy I don’t either. I just go to my profile once in awhile to make sure I haven’t accidentally hit it.

Made Kielbasa for the first time yesterday. It turned out incredible! In the top 3 of things I have made. I used the pork sirloin roast I picked up a while back.
8 pounds pork sirloin
4 1/2 pounds back fat
.5 oz sure cure
3 oz sure gel
.4 oz hickory smoke powder
1 oz smoked meat stabilizer
11.5 oz Signature Kielbasa seasoning
16 oz water
40mm collagen casingsGround 4 pounds of pork and all fat through 3/16” plate once. Ground 4 pounds of pork through 1/8” plate twice. Put everything in the mixer for 8 minutes. Stuffed into 40mm collagen casings.
120 for 30 min
130 for 30 min
140 for 30 min
150 for 30 min
160 for 30 min
170 for 7 hours
205 for 45 minutesLate last night, internal was only 130 degrees, so I just left it on and went to bed. Woke up at 5:30 this morning to check it. Internal was only 146. So I cranked it up to 205. Checked it at 6:30 and hit 160. Pulled them, put them a in tub in the sink with cold water running in tub while I took shower and got ready for work. Stripped the casing on one and sliced it up. OMG was the flavor awesome. I refrigerated the rings and baggied up the rest of the slices to snack on at work today.

My Polish grandfather is rolling over in his grave hearing that collagen casings were used. Why not natural, may I ask? They give such a nice snap to smoked kielbasa.

Sorry, Johnboy13. I was asking Grimpuppy.

Your recipe is all most the same but I used 10 lbs of deer meat and 10 lbs 80/20 pork butt and 4 lbs of pork trim
Which gave me a 70/30 mix
I have a lot of the force grind fat through out the sausage -
I used collagen because I don’t have any Polish relatives.
