    BarbecueJim Just one thing to keep in mind 32-35 (most popular size) is a TAD big for a bun, I’d go with 30-32 I also linked to the tubed because they are many times easier to use. They have already been flushed so all you need to do is soak them in hot water for an hour prior to stuffing them.

      BarbecueJim Plus, they are far easier to get on the stuffing tube, not the biggest deal but that can be annoying

          BarbecueJim Not that Jonathon’s information needs confirmation, but I second that the 30-32mm hog casings work well on a bun and that larger casings can get a little dicey unless you have large buns.

          Just as a side note, we can easily buy bolillos around here that work great for larger sausages. If you bake, you can make THESE ROLLS as large as you like.

                        Chef Many brewing suppliers on the internet
                        One is https://www.midwestsupplies.com/
                        Try to find a beer brewing group in your area. Most brewers love to help and give info
                        Five gallon starter kits usually come with basic equipment and 1 beer package, but if you get with a group you may realize you want to start out more advanced with their info and help

                            TexLaw best move I made in brewing was going to to kegging, you can always draw off for growler.

                              Jonathon the 30-32 casings you linked. Do they come as one big package, individually rapped, or measured in any way? 105lbs would last a while for me and I’m wondering how I’d measure off 10lb batches etc.

                                  Chef Brewing is one of my hobbies as well. I would buy a good starter kit. Instead of bottling in regular bottles which is a huge pia I would jump into kolsh flip top bottles or even 2 liter coke bottles. You can buy screw on tops for 2 liter bottles and use a co2 can to force carb. Which is pretty stinking cool. Kegging is where its at if you have extra fridge space or wanna build a keggerator.

                                  Now if you enjoy wine at all I would highly recommend starting there. Its stupid easy and requires the basic same equipment minus the cooking. I do wine more now than beer. Making a good wine is much easier than making a good beer.

                                      The home pack was the most time consuming part of the process.
