    Dang, I cannot wait for these to be ready as they smell just like a Reuben on Rye.

    25lb pork butt with a single 4.5mm grind and 2.5lb hi-temp Swiss. Used 24oz of water and the seasoning mix and sure cure from Excalibur. Currenting in fridge curing overnight and will vac seal tomorrow or Monday.

        Do most of you dry your fresh sausages before vac sealing and freezing? I normally leave overnight in fridge in a covered meat lug with a towel in bottom. Then I just vac seal the next day.

        Today I figured I’d fry them a bit first. But imagining once vac sealed they will exude liquid anyway and defeat the purpose.

        What’s the right answer?

            Jamieson22 I lay them out on a large pan and stick the full tray in the freezer. Then I vacuum seal the next day.

                Ready for the freezer! Ended up using the suction sealer so I could watch the tournament as I can’t see the TV where the chamber is in basement. 77 sausages in total (4 not pictured on plate to cook).

                Also, can’t believe it took me so long to switch from rolls to pre-made bags. Makes process so much easier.

                            Those look good. I ate a reuben today from a Philly deli, and I was skeptical about the flavors making it in the pork brats. But dang those do look good! I just did a $300 Walton’s order last week, wish I’d seen this and ordered the seasoning. It looks like that HT swiss really makes it!

                                      Dave in AZ I didn’t notice any issue at all using all pork with these. Flavor is incredible.

                                      And I think I am in the minority, but the Swiss hi-temp isn’t the best hi-temp cheese. It isn’t really “swiss” in flavor, just gives a really nice creaminess.

                                        I find the same with all those HT cheeses! The creamy texture is great, but I get excited to make sausage with it, and I’m never really happy when I try it! But others love it!

                                          Pre-tubed are so easy got to try them if you haven’t
                                          May cost more but golly they are great.

                                          I had never really done the math so am curious:

                                          The 30/32 hog casing on Walton’s are $42.80 for 105/lb of product so $.407/lb.
                                          The 30/32 tubed casings are $44.99 and do 105lb for $.428/lb.
                                          So for a 25lb batch it will cost you $.525 more at $11.98.

                                          I tend to use the 32/35mm for $35.99 or the 35/38mm for $36.99 mostly. Those each do 125lbs.
                                          So like $.287/lb for the 32/35mm or $7.20 for a 25lb batch.

                                          Jamieson22 how long can you store natural casings? Do you freeze them or just refrigerate? If I have to buy 100# worth of casing I would have to store it for a long time as I usually only make 25# or so of sausage at a time.
