Jonathon I’m not against nitrates ( I use them in my bacon) I usually make this sausage from fresh or frozen pork and once the sausage is made I will hang it inside my walk in cooler to dry and then it’s vacuum sealed

Re: Seasoning & Additives 102 Shelf Life and StorageI make fresh sausages like bratwurst style sausages, and I vacuum seal them after they are complete but after several months in the freezer they all have an off flavor like it’s old and not a good flavor. Do you recommend any type of additive that I can add to keep the flavor? I only use the seasoning and fresh meat nothing else.
