What tube size I need to use for beef middles? I am ordering a stuffer and thinking it might not come with the attachment I will need.
 
I've stuffed beef middles once and I used the largest tube that came with my stuffer (don't know the measurement). You probably won't find a tube that they fit snug on, so all you'll need to do is clamp your hand on them a little tighter so they fill nicely as you crank. My stuffing technique is to have left hand on the horn and casings and right hand continually cranking the stuffer. Left hand controls how fast the casings come off the horn. If possible, I have someone on the receiving end of the sausage doing the spiraling.
 
The advice given is about it.....I use the same technique as above on SS casings. Some horns are 2" wide but it all depends on your stuffer IF it will work on it. The base sizes are important with each machine possibly different. You'll have to measure the size of yours and check around on some of the sausage suppliers sites to see if doable.....HTH, Willie
