    Sheep casing smell

    I finished up the rest of the pork butt I ground tonight. I made two recipes in 2lb batches, a mango jalapeno and a Manchester (both from the Wedliny Demowe site, though I modified the jalapeno recipe by skipping the white wine and using mango juice and a diced up mango). I fried up the leftover...

    Sheep casing smell

    I could be wrong, but I thought the 5lb (think LEM and similar) and 15 lb like the one I linked on Amazon, and every other one like it, have the same diameter drum/plunger. It's the wider ones (the LEM 15lb and if you look at the 22+ lb models from Hakka) that had the issue? Is the 5LB LEM...

    Sheep casing smell

    Ok, thanks! I'll search around and see what is recommended. I think I looked at a few threads earlier about that.

I had put the sheep casings into a high concentration brine and threw them in the fridge. I might try taking them back Thursday or...

    Sheep casing smell

    So I've got two people saying to not use them and two people saying to use them. o_O If they didn't have those green flecks on them I'd lean towards using them, but those have me worried, even if it was a small number of them. The smell was definitely stronger at the spot with the green flecks...

    Sheep casing smell

    Hi all, new guy here. Just started smoking my own meat in a Masterbuilt Electric 30 that I got for a steal from Walmart at the end of the season, and just tonight am doing a second try at making my own sausage. Unfortunately while I finally managed to find a decent breakfast sausage recipe and...
