        gus4416 What was your process for preparing the casings? Were they new casings or one you had, had for a while?

            gus4416 Hmm, I don’t have a good answer for you, maybe someone else will. I might suggest maybe giving them a little time on the grill or in a pan by themselves to start them cooking next time and see if that helps any. Jonathon have any ideas?

                gus4416, did you let the links dry in the fridge over night before freezing and vac sealing? I’ve only made linked sausages a hand full of times but I’ve never skipped the drying overnight step. Maybe the casings remained a bit too wet and caused that toughness?

                                        Finally after a two year hiatus I made a batch of chili. Found a few pounds of brisket from the fall when pulling meat for grinding. I think I found my favorite meat to make chili; the wife wanted beans in it. Gotta pick your battles.
