<![CDATA[Beer Brats, Holly & Dixie]]>I ordered some Beer Brat, Holly, & Dixie Seasoning to process my daughters moose she got this winter. I got a lot more to go but this is what I did this weekend.

I processed the Beer Brat with hog and fresh collagen casings to see the difference. We haven’t tried them yet as we tested the Holly and Dixie. I soak the hog casings for about 2.5 days in water in refrigerator. What a noticeable difference in look and performance. I got that tip from this forum - thanks! The hog casings were silky white, no blow outs from stuffing and no blow outs from twisting.

We thought the Holly tasted like Jimmy Deans (wife and I prefer) and the Dixie was a mild tasting but the kids liked it the best.

We did some moose pastrami (dry cure) a few weeks ago and it was fabulous.

I love this site and appreciate the forum’s help, ideas like soaking the casings for days instead of hours, and the pastrami idea.

Thank You!

I don’t know if you know but you can get adapters to convert 18v dewalt to 20 v lithium ion when those 18v batteries die. I have converted all my 18v over to 20v.

Yes, I lay them in a 7 gallon tote or other container, then place freezer paper on top, and then place another layer and so on. I put the tote on the freezer shelf or if it is cold enough I put the lid on and then into the back of truck with a tonneua cover.

We had 160 straight ground and another 75-ish pounds of steaks and round roasts. It was 375# bone in on 4 quarters and ribs. This was a medium to large cow moose. I had to buy another freezer - lol.
