Sausage Day 2017 -- An Annual Tradition

[caddyjoe77]

My family and I started doing this a few years ago when my sister married into a traditional German family that still does things the old way.  Every year, in Feb, as close to exactly between the Full and Waxing Moon we have Sausage day on the weekend.  Beer, Wine, and Lots of laughs.  Including a snap of my dad because he is one of the "Supervisors" 

So, the day starts about 8.  Buy your meat, spices, and casings before hand.  We plan on spices for 100 pounds of meat.  66 percent beef and 33 percent pork.  We also did Breakfast sausage in bratwurst casing this year, which should be awesome immediately without the 8 week wait the summer sausage takes to be smoked and cured. 

Here is the sausage after grinding, during mixing and hanging in the smokehouse. 





the Foreman!! Enjoying his Wine!


It should look something like this when finished.  Some of you have had it at Big G.

they picked that equipment up a couple years before I started.  That mixer would probably tear your arm off. 

Apparently, the butcher's name was Pete with his wife being the lady mentioned.  The first time I saw the sign I laughed too!!
