          So 5 pounds at A tsp. per pound would be 1 Tbl. And 2 Tsp. Not 2 Tho spoons.

            shoprat53 That is where I would calculate it at if I were measuring it by tsp. I use grams or ounces when I calculate, you get a better measurement and the chart is much more accurate with that. By weight 22.5 grams or .80 ounces.

              Not saying it is more accurate just saying if you are going to give measurements in Tbl. and Tsp. then be consistent. 1 Tsp. Per pound does not work out to 2 Tbl. For A 5 pound batch of snack sticks or cured sausage.

                johnsbrewhouse Professional bakers always measure critical dry ingredients by weight. There can be a large variation measuring by volume. I always scale my dry ingredients when reducing for small batches.

                  marzig20 I always convert mine to grams anymore, much more precise for the scale. I also break down the ingredients measurements myself, rather than using the chart most of the time. The chart is quick, but I like doing the math to make sure.

                        Have you ever bought some of Walton's seasoning, but didn't want to make a full 25 lb batch? Well, we have made things simpler now and you can quickly and easily measure out how much seasoning to use for smaller 1 lb or 5 lb batches. The best way to measure out seasonings-cures-additives is with a very accurate scale, if you do not have access to a scale that weighs in fractions of oz or in grams then you can use the volume measurements we have provided as a guideline.
                        Seasoning SKU Usage per 1 lb Meat Volume (Weight) Usage per 5 lb Meat Volume (Weight)

                          I have summer sausage spice blend with sodium erythorbate already added,
                          can I stuff my sausage after supper then smoke it in the morning ? It would be about 8 to 10 hour between. Thanks

                            jac1 Since you are using sodium erythorbate as a cure accelerator there is no need to hold it overnight. You can go straight to smoking from stuffing. Without a cure accelerator, you would need to refrigerate overnight.

                              Thanks, but I was wondering if I could keep it over night or would it hurt the sausage. Right now I don’t have time to do both back to back. I could wait to make it if I had to.

                                Yes holding them overnight using sodium erythorbate would be ok. If you were using encapsulated citric acid as a cure accelerator, then you would need to smoke right away.

                                    Sure Gel vs. Carrot Fiber. I have been making summer sausage with venison and pork butt/fat for several years with good success. Only issues have been casing adhesion and small amount of fat inside casing, despite thorough mechanical mixing. Thought I would switch from Carrot Fiber to Sure Gel to see effect. That did resolve the previous issues, but my sausage turned out much denser, more like a bologna. Flavor is spot on. I have had other Summer with this consistency, but prefer a softer consistency, as is more common here in WI. Could the switch in binders be causing this, or is a different cause more likely?

                                      dncerdmann Carrot Fiber absorbs more of the water in your sausage. That may have some kind of effect on the density.

                                        dncerdmann carrot fiber has about 14X the water holding power which will give you a juicier product compared to sure gel. That is one of the reasons it is recommended for fresh sausage.
