Never using collagen casings I have a question. After looking on this site why did you decide to use the inedible ones instead of the “smoke” ones that are edible and strong enough to hold up in the smoker?

In case some didn’t know, the 40mm casings he used are ring shaped. That is the reason for using them. Waltons item 2301400

Johnboy13 In my recipe of 10kg fresh Polish I used 33g. I would go with about 2g/kg of protein to start. That would be a shy tsp per 2.2lbs of protein. Hope that helps.

Yooperdog I’m new to the sausage making and old school
How much mustard seed and garlic did you add per poundJohnboy13 for mustard seed about 1/2 tsp per pound of meat to start with, you could go up more as your taste buds like. For garlic powder 1.5 g per kg or about a 1/4 tsp per pound. For fresh garlic it would be around 2-3 X that amount. Garlic is a bit subjective because there are so many fresh varieties. I am typically heavy on the garlic, prefer fresh. But when I am tweaking a recipe to my baseline I use powder or granulated to keep things consistent. I think I have my math and conversions correct, anyone can keep me honest. A good reference book is,’ Home Production of Quality Meats and Sausages’ by Stanley and Adam Mariański. It took me awhile to convert, I grew up with my relatives using their hands as measuring devices. Try converting those recipes. LOL
