The German Sausage and use a good ale in place of the water

twilliams thanks!

just finished my first attempt at brats. Used the tubbed natural casings because of the ease of use. Had lots of air bubbles in the links. Can you use a small pin to release the air?

craigrice did that yesterday. Thought my sausage casing was going to explode.

I have an odd question. What is the best way to get the last bit of meat out of the tube?

Arod2015 ok. So I pulled them out, threw them in an ice bath and they are all wrinkled. How do you prevent this?

twilliams noticed the damper was just slightly open. Closed it tight and temp is rising. Thanks!

twilliams it is a masterbuilt electric smoker at 180 degrees. I didn’t open the door. Are temp drops normal?

I am fairly new to smoking summer sausage. I am smoking 1lb chubs. The internal temperature got up to 151 then dropped to 147. Is that normal and when should I pull them. Thanks!
