Sausage Making Tip #1: It's crucial to keep the meat at near-freezing temperatures throughout your preparation process. Maintaining this low temperature is essential to prevent the sausage from falling apart during cooking.

Sausage Making Tip #2: Limit the time the sausages spend at room temperature to 30 minutes or less. To do this effectively, assess how many pounds of sausage you can grind, stuff, or package within that time frame. If you have a substantial quantity to prepare, consider dividing the task into smaller batches that can each be completed in 30 minutes or less. This strategy will help keep the meat cooler, thereby enhancing safety and improving the flavor of the final product.

For your seasoning, an 11 oz. bag of blend #104 will season a total of 25 pounds of meat and does so without any added MSG. Legg's exclusive high-barrier, multi-wall packaging ensures the seasoning remains fresh and flavorful for up to 12 months.

If you're looking to create delicious homemade bratwurst, reach for the AC Legg Bratwurst Seasoning. When comparing homemade brats to store-bought options, you might be surprised to find significant differences in taste and quality. For the ultimate bratwurst experience, consider incorporating high-temperature cheeses like Cheddar, Pepper Jack, or Habanero Cheese into your mixture.

For those preparing a batch under 25 pounds, the guidelines are simple: 1 ounce of seasoning is sufficient for 2.25 pounds of meat (remember, 2 tablespoons equal 1 ounce).

When mixing your batches, you can work with 25 pounds of lean pork, such as boneless pork shoulder butt. If visiting a butcher for 80/20 pork trim isn't an option, feel free to substitute with 22 pounds of lean pork paired with 3 pounds of lean beef.

To mix, pour the entire seasoning bag into the 25 pounds of the chosen meat and blend thoroughly. For best results, cut the meat into smaller chunks before mixing, as this improves the seasoning distribution. Once blended, proceed to stuff the mixture into natural hog casings to create your links.

By adhering to these tips and using quality ingredients such as AC Legg's seasoning, you can craft flavorful and satisfying sausages that rival those from the finest German delis. Enjoy the gratifying process of making your sausages at home, bringing the authentic taste of Germany to your table!
