I find it funny that you only get 200 to 400 views per video. To be honest I don't get how, please keep making these the info is better than butcher chanles with 600k plus subs. Really tho this is gold to me. I want to say Thank you so much for your time and effort. Thank you I feel confident to make some elk sausage later this year. Riley tho keep it up.

Hey we are from Alberta too. My grandparents used to make sausage and it was just salt and pepper. They came out to our farm on smoking day and they smoked sausage in an old outhouse out back with straw and crate wood and were here the whole day. Good memories.

Love the channel. In Manitoba, Mennonite sausage is much more course, and almost on the dry side. I know when making sausage, I add my dry ingredients to the water/liquid smoke mixture for a more even distribution. Either way, you're doing a fantastic job. Cheers.

There is a common version of Mennonite sausage, which is basically this recipe with the addition of ground clove. It's a game changer for the flavour of the sausage, and the clove flavour morphs and blends into the flavour profile. Best served with vereneki !

A few days ago I made this just as an uncased sausage make patties or crumbles with and it went great. I had never made sausage before, but this seemed very approachable, and the process was fun. I just used ground pork from the store and it still worked. Thanks for getting me started. Since I wasn't smoking it, I increased the liquid smoke to 2.5g/kg and that was quite close to the norm for farmer sausage I buy. It does lack the characteristic hint of acidity that I'm used to in Pioneer brand, but I don't think I'm up to trying to ferment sausage just yet. Thanks again.

Hi. Ive got a question for you. Growing up our Mennonite Farmers Sausage was not fully cooked and we had to fry it up or bake it in bubbat, etc. Is sounds like the same recipe but ours were double-smoked in a cold smoker. Yes, I know you don't have one there but I was wondering if you could make this only as far as going through the smoking without cooking them?

Thank you so much for another brilliant video. I have been making sausage for a couple of years now and have followed one or two other butchers, mainly from the UK where I am based. Many KZfaqrs are chucking out videos but haven’t much idea about sausage making so it’s easy to recognise a true professional like yourself. Your videos are without doubt the best on KZfaq. I am also using some of the excellent recipes in the Home Production of Quality Meats and Sausages by Stanley and Adam Marianski which your videos bring clarity to. Just one question. Do you have any preferences for binders? I use ‘rusk’ when making British Bangers and Rice Flour or Potato Starch for making gluten free sausage. Is 10g per kilo a good rule of thumb? Thanking you once again for your Master Classes.

@duncanhenry Жыл бұрын

Thank you very much Len. Very kind of you. My preference is soy protein. Used at 10g/kg. For most protein based binders 10g is a good rule of thumb for certain sausages rusk, bread, and other starches vary. I do get this question the most so I plan on doing a "binders" episode in the near future. Thanks again Len.

@scottbrasuell325 Жыл бұрын

I was taught not to cook a test patty with cure in it. It is poision to the body even in small amounts. Better safe than sorry. Add it last or let the sausage rest for 12-24 hour then test,adjust if needed,then case it. Letting it rest one more day before cooking and or freezing. Peace brother!

@mike333h 2 жыл бұрын

You may have said it in another video, but I do not use the cure accelerator, do I need to up the salt by 0.5g per KG? I have never used it, so I am not sure of the sodium taste that it provides. Also, I am a new subscriber and really love your videos. Like others have mentioned, it is a huge surprise at the low views your videos get. However, I really think that is going to change in the future. Please keep up the awesome and informative videos.

@duncanhenry 2 жыл бұрын

Hey thank you so much Mike that is awesome to read. And yes if you haven't used Sodium Erythorbate it is okay to leave out if you are worried about it affecting the taste. Just make sure to give your sausage a little curing time before you put it in the smoker. Also you don't need to add salt to compensate for it you won't notice the 0.5g/kg.

What's the binder

@MichiHenning 3 жыл бұрын

One thing that would be really useful is to explain how many meters of casing at a particular caliber to use per kilogram of farce. I'm forever struggling to estimate this correctly. Too little is a real pain because I can't just immediately get more without soaking the casing first; too much is wasteful.

@krisbabic89 3 жыл бұрын

You can always pull extra. If you have extra after casing, dry them as much as you can with a paper towel, add them pack to the original package or a separate one, and cover in salt and put in the fridge. They will last forever. I also prefer to keep mine in a very salty brine in the freezer. They won’t freeze bc the salt, and since they are wet already they untangle easier.

@duncanhenry 3 жыл бұрын

Yes Michi, like Kris said, I usually pull more than I need. With natural casings I will use what I need hang them to drip dry for a hour then put a cup or two of salt on them (in a bag) and store them in the cooler. I don't usually make a brine as the little bit of moisture left in them will be pulled out by the salt and will make its own brine.

Great as always. This I’m definitely going to do very soon. What are the chances of making/curing a COOKED ham? I’m not talking weeks or months or in hang time. I’m looking more like a few days. Would love to understand the pumping/brine calculations and all. I’ve read lots but getting confused on procedures etc. Just a thought.

Hey Rob, I have a video coming up on a bear ham shortly. I don't go into the depth of explaining the brine calculations just yet but it might be a good introduction to injecting and brining. Should be up in the next day or two here.

Really appreciate the video. What is your shop called? I may be doing a course at Oldes College coming up (sausage making), I'd love to come by and check out your place if I'm close enough. I generally use rice flour as my binder as it is gluten free and people seem to appreciate that. Are the amounts for the different binders transferable? What is your preferred binder? Also, does the sodium erythorbate lower the ph of the sausage and give it that slight tang of a fermented sausage or salami? I have had that in Farmers before and I am chasing that flavour in mine but can't quite get it...

@duncanhenry 2 жыл бұрын

Really no way! I went to Olds your gonna love it Brad and Shelly are really great people. My shop is called DH Custom Sausage and Specialty meats. I am about 1 1/2hrs north of Olds. I haven't used Rice Flour, I use Soy Protein Isolate at 10g/kg Brad Uses Dh-heated Mustard Powder at 10g/kg both work well and are gluten free. It does lower the PH but not by enough to get the tangy flavor. You can buy a product called fermento that you can add and skip an actual fermentation process to get that flavor. I haven't used it much to know how it works off the top of my head though.

Hi Duncan. Going to be making your recipe for Farmers Sausage. I use Soya protein as my binder . I’m making 50/50 pork and beef to get 4.5 kg . I normally would use 2 cups of soya protein. Would this be to much for this recipe? My mistake when I started using this binder I converted it to ounces, but you can’t do this , it works by volume. . Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks. Brian
