Thanks for the advice my friends. I went back and removed the casings and put the meat in the mixer added a little water and sure cure mixed for a few minutes and stuffed it in new casings. Thanks for all your help.

I think I made a big mistake this morning. I have mixed and stuffed into casings a 25lb of hotdog mix and I forgot the sure cure .am I in trouble or can I save it.

Jonathon it is jalapeno seasoning and added Hi temp cheese. I only made a half batch of sausage this time
because a full batch is hard to mix in my mixer. I will vacuum pack the rest of my seasoning and store it in the pantry. As far as the texture goes it seemed to be a little dry, not as appealing to the tongue, when I made the sausage I used 10lbs of venison 2.5lbs of pork fat and I cut all of the seasonings in half using tablespoon and 1/4cup measurements and 1 quart of water, when I smoked the sausage I started 120deg. For 1 hour 145deg. For 1 hour 175 deg. For 2 hours and then 190deg. Until temperature got to 160deg. The only thing I changed is I added a little more cheese than before, not sure what I did but it is different. Any other idea’s. Thanks for your help.

I have a question about my left over seasonings, once opened how long will they be good for? I have a vacuum packer so I can reseal them and should they be refrigerated? The seasonings in question are the jalapeño and cheddar cheese summer sausage blend. I noticed on my second time making the sausage that the texture was different ( not as good as my first time ) making it, does this come from over mixing or under mixing

Thanks so much for the information, you guys have been a lot of help. Love your products.

I recently made venison jalapeño and cheddar cheese summer sausage. It came out fantastic, my question is if I refrigerate it how long of a shelf life can I expect

Thank you for the great information.i will make it how you said .

I have a question about making summer sausage. I’m using venison and pork fat, if I mix my meat and I’m using encapsulated citric acid, can I refrigerate the mixture over night and smoke the next day?
