Older batch, haven't done any in a while but been meaning to.
Just a basic italian but to get you going I'll post.
If this isn't what you want you'll have to pony up and go to the boneyard;)

All I have is duck sausage at the moment. But I don't think the mods will let me post any pics.

Next week I'm ordering my kitchen aid attachment so I can get in the sausage game will make sure to update.
 
Here is some Lincolnshire sausage I made recently. Pork shoulder, white breadcrumbs. The spice seasoning is, sage, white pepper, coriander, nutmeg. They were delicious and just like the ones from our local butcher back home. The pint is a Yorkshire style bitter that I brewed that we had with them and of course mashed potatoes, peas and onion gravy!

Thanks for the recipe, Porchfddler. Looks good. I'm trying to settle on a recipe for my first Ordinary Bitter. The sugar is interesting in such a low gravity beer. Have you brewed it without before too, if so, do you find any appreciable changes in mouthfeel, etc.?

I hate to get too off topic, so I'll try to contribute to the thread. I haven't made sausages more than a few times. I just got a hand-me-down cast iron sausage press and was thinking about getting into it again. I thought I might start with something like a surf and turf sausage, maybe shrimp or scallops and pork or chicken. Anyone done anything like that before and have a recipe?
 
Even kids can do it. My youngest, Alex, on the right, with his friend Mitchell. Making boudin blanc. (It sucked BTW - way too much onion).

Is that style stuffer usable without a helper? I currently have a Dakotah water stuffer that I would like to replace with a vertical stuffer as I don't like having to go without my faucet when stuffing. I've also thought about adding a hose bib underneath my sink to get the same thing, but I'd also like a stuffer that can handle a full batch of sausage without having to be reloaded.


I'd like to get the Cabelas (Weston) model as it accepts the motor attachment, but I had been planning to get it in stages, first the stuffer and then the motor later, but if it is difficult to use with just one person, it means I'd have to get the 2 together. I generally make 20 pound batches when I do sausage.

I've always done it myself. One person, no problem.

From Grizzley, $85. Great 5# stuffer for a great price. Only takes a few minutes to knock out a batch. Even for 20#, I can't see a big advantage in a motorized unit. But I've never used one, so maybe I'm missing something.

That looks like a decent stuffer for regular sized sausage and summer sausage. I do a fair bit of "slim Jim" sized sausages (snack sticks) and have some doubts on the durability of the plastic gears.

The vertical stuffers like that look like they need at least 3 hands to make work: one to turn the crank, another to stabilize the stuffer itself, and a third to control the casings as you are stuffing.

At least this is how I am currently using my water stuffer. I found a foot operated water valve that I use to control the water flow, and I use one hand to hold the stuffer in place/apply back pressure on the casings so they fill properly, while the other hand controls the casings as they are filled. The whole process is pretty quick, I would say I'm extruding maybe a foot a second of snack stick sized sausage.

Garden sausage with green and hot peppers, lamb and bacon sausage. Gonna try some smoke sausage next. Smoke meat first or smoke when sausage is already made? Anyone?
