@PapaSop I did find out how to use the thermometer here. Common sense, but I’m a little short of that https://meatgistics.waltonsinc.com/topic/1099/cured-sausage-205-advanced-thermal-processing

I make a good apple cinnamon bratwurst that is a base brat recipe with extra pie spice and cinnamon with finely diced Granny Smith apples that is super delicious. I have also done that style with a little bourbon mixed in with it instead of just water. It’s fantastic

@geraldr622 good bit of info there. I actually have three different grinds in mine. Every family has a slightly different recipe and process, garlic is a pretty big part though.
