Using Tubed Casings

[John Raiona]

With the tubed casings how much sausage will each tube make?

[s.a.m]

Depends on the diameter being used.

[John Raiona]

35-38 mm

[s.a.m]

Says 8 tubes in a package of hog casings and will stuff 125lbs.

[Joe Hell]

John Raiona I use that size almost daily and they vary a bit. I’ve had some do 12-15 lbs and other do as much as 25. You can kind of tell by looking at them which ones will do the higher volumes.

[John Raiona]

Thanks Joe. I appreciate the info.

John Raiona I used the 28-30 tubed casings each tube held 25 lbs.

Are the tubed sheep cassings supposed have a pungent smell. I have used sheep cassings and never had them smell like this before.

[Jonathon]

Brian Schneider They do not smell good, I’ve thought I noticed a stronger smell from them than the Hog casings in the past but it was a long time ago. How bad? If they have actually spoiled it will smell ungodly bad.

[Brian Schneider]

Jonathon I was just wondering because I just got these with my order yesterday but the box was a bit squashed and the package the cassings are in was punctured and all the liquid spilled out. The smell is definitely there but it doesn’t make me gag. I emailed customer service to see if we should return them but I haven’t heard back yet

[Joe Hell]

Jonathon I’ve noticed that the sheep casings have a different funk than the hog but nothing that I’d consider spoilage. Casings simply don’t smell great

[Jonathon]

Joe Hell Yeah, maybe I have become so used to the hog casing smell that when I smelled something unpleasant but in a different way it stuck out more? Oh well Brian Schneider if they aren’t reeking they are fine. The spillage is an issue though but we are taking care of that through other means at the moment.
