The flavor is great on both. The course ground has way to much fat. I did them both at 70/30. The emulsified is about the perfect balance. The course on the other hand is just to much raw fat. The flavor is great but your entire mouth gets a heavy coating of fat. You wouldn’t be able to eat more than a few slices before it is to much. Maybe with some cheese n crackers it would be more tolerable. I would do them both again but cut back to 80/20 at the most on the course grind. I would also probably run the fat through a med plate instead of the course plate to reduce the size.

The lean in the course ground batch looks about right. What size plate did you grind the fat through?

Grimpuppy Very good evaluation & good looking finished product with the exception as you indicated of the heavy fat. It still looks good. I think processhead may have the answer.

I ground the fat through a 3/8 plate once. The meat was through a 3/8 plate once and then 3/16 plate once.

I think grinding the fat through a 3/16 plate would help.
MIxing the resulting fat and lean less thoroughly might help keep that fat particle definition you are looking for without just making it look like the fine ground version you made.

Doing ring bologna. Couldn’t decide whether I wanted emulsified or it ground with medium plate with fat ground with large plate. So I decided to do 5 pounds each way and see which one I like better.
Grimpuppy let us know which you prefer

Grimpuppy it does look like a smaller plate for the fat would’ve been better. I used a 3/16 plate for the fat in my kielbasa and thought it worked great.

We made 60 lbs of Willies Snack Sticks and Landjaeger this weekend. The snack sticks were 80/20 venison and beef fat. The landjaeger was 60/40 venison and pork butt.

A#1 helper is my S.I.L. The guy stuffing is a good friend and the guy at the chopper is another buddy. I just stand around and take pictures. And drink.
Here is a rare shot of me trying to look like I am doing something.

processhead OK, so you are the supervisor. Just taking photos for documentation & of course you have to stay well hydrated & make sure everyone else does too, right.
