Over the last week, I have made 10 lbs of summer sausage and 10 lbs of "bacon-burger brats". I find it really fun to make sausage and it is such a good way to use game meats. I have plans for some traditional brats and some Italian sausage.
I do have one piece of advice.... (well two). First get a sausage stuffer and do not use your grinder. Second (but related) get a good sausage stuffer. I bought a cheap one (vevor) and ti was terrible; I replaced it with a LEMs. Two things to look for (1) It must have a worm gear or screw gear or it will be very hard to turn. (2) the container should be a single piece; if it is two pieces, sausage can ooze from the seams.
