How to Make a Homemade Sausage Recipe. Spices, Binders, and Cures.

[@duncanhenry]

Hey guys here is the recipe to that garlic sausage I made in the video. Cured Garlic Sausage Salt 17g/kg Black pepper 3g/kg Granulated Garlic 7g/kg Marjoram 1g/kg Soy Binder 10g/kg Sodium Erythorbate 0.5g/kg Cure #1 3g/kg Water 100g/kg Fresh Garlic Salt 20g/kg Black pepper 3g/kg Granulated Garlic 7g/kg Marjoram 1g/kg Soy Binder 10g/kg Water 100g/kg

[@williamh.creitz9996]

I have been enjoying channel for some time now. I have a quick question about binders added to recipes. When you calculate your spices per kg is it just the weight of the meat or do you include the weight of binder too, meaning meat weight plus binder weight? If not wouldn't the binders delute the spices?

Been following you for years Duncan. Several of your formulations have made it into my starting rotation. What is great about your channel is that you show folks how to make sausage. Your not selling a pre-packaged sausage mix. I've been making sausage for 20 years but after watching you I understand sausage making and have kicked up my game to were I'm proud of my product.

[@JoshWithoutLeave]

Been researching sausage making for a minute now as a bbq dude looking to add something new to his arsenal, and there are some good videos out there, but this is exactly what I needed. The science, the ratios and formulas, etc... I'm a number guy and for all my baking and bbq recipes if I try something new I always have to grumpily convert all their volumetric measurements and play with weight ratios to find the science of how the ingredients work together. You just went ahead and did all that for me haha thank you!

[@vmitchinson]

Invest in a scale that has a per cent function. The beauty of Duncan's recipes is that the ingredients can be converted to percent by dividing the g by 10. The best part is you do not have to have an exact amount of meat. The way my scale works is you put all the meat on the scale click on the percent button. The read out will be 100%. The next item on scale automatically will show the percent. I find this procedure is way more simple then spoons, cups etc. are a royal pain to use.

[@bobatbilletcreations]

My head hurts...This was a TON of information! Thank you for sharing, Very much appreciated!

[@duncanhenry]

Haha your welcome, hope it helps.

[@carfvallrightsreservedwith6649]

One of my sausage books says the #1 cure can be cut back to 75 ppm for color fixation. Here in the States our max is 156 ppm. If you're going to smoke it do not reduce the amount of cure. But for a fresh sausage that's going to be cooked right away or put in the freezer reducing the amount of cure seems to be acceptable. I use liquid smoke for that smoked flavor. Some think it's an artificial substance when in fact it is smoke that is collected in the column when it has travel far enough away from the heat source to condense the water vapor that was in the wood. It's a handy tool to use when making a small batch.

[@duncanhenry]

I have never experimented with the minimum amounts of cure. Using it in the higher end of the allowed limits helps extend shelf life so that's why I use it up there. Also yes liquid smoke can be great way to flavor sausage and other things like marinades.

[@doylesouders1228]

@@duncanhenry I have seen a lot of sausage videos on keeping the meat temperature really cold.

[@13pbarnes]

Hey Duncan in regard to adding water, do you or can you substitute water for something else? For instance, beer in a brat or apple cider or apple juice in a breakfast sausage to add flavor? I see some people put red wine in their italian sausage so I figured you could but I haven't seen any recipes like that as of yet. Thanks from northern Ohio, Phil

[@duncanhenry]

Hey there Phil, yes sir you can substitute. I don't usually go over the 10% or 100ml/kg. Also a thing to note if you are using vinegar you'll need to mix extra well since acidic things de-nature protein.

Really love your videos . What advice can you give to get juicy beef sausage. Unfortunately I'm allergic to pork

[@duncanhenry]

Hey Michael thanks! Sure thing, to get a juicy beef sausage id recommend adding some sort of nice hard beef fat or using a bit fattier of a cut. So If you saved some hard fat off briskets or trimmings off ribeye and added it to your sausage mix I think that would help a lot. I usually shoot for a ratio of 15% (Leaner) 25% (Juicier) and I add water to a sausage at 10%, you can go up to 20% without phosphates but after that it begins to affect texture and quality.

you can probably use the same amount of binder. You could use phosphates at that point as their main function is water retention. Just mix lots. If you are using acidic things like vinegar they will de-nature the protein so you may find if you use a lot your will get a crumbly texture.

Hey there Cliff without spending pretty decent $$$ your not going to get one that weighs out less than 1g. Even the scale I use isn't that precise. I use a Kilotech scale though to answer your question. good for down to 1g increments and up to 5000g.

Duncan's right. Scales that can handle a lot of weight and still have great sensitivity are expensive. Since I'm a cheapskate, I use two scales. The Etekcity has a resolution of 0.1 g and is great for measuring out seasonings. The Accuteck is exactly like the one you mention - lousy for gram quantities but great from 100 g to 20 kg.

What is a cure accelerator and where do you buy it.

[@duncanhenry]

You can purchase cure accelerators from any butcher supply shop. They make the meat slightly more acidic to allow the curing chemical reaction to happen more thoroughly and quickly.

[@robertshaw253]

I went to my supplier and they said they never heard of it. Where could you source it on line.

​@@duncanhenrythis is great. I just stumbled across your videos a couple weeks ago and assumed you were in Ontario! I'm in Blackfalds, where do you get your chuck?

[@yippikiyay197]

Ok when I read about sausage 101, it includes a rusk. Do you have a video that goes into rusks?

[@duncanhenry]

I don't use rusk but a believe it falls more into the category of a filler. It is just a ground up hard bread.

[@yippikiyay197]

@@duncanhenry does it takes the place of the binder?

[@yippikiyay197]

Therefore you like using a soy protein binder more than stale bread?
