The amount of water will vary depending on the kind of meat you are using. Pork, beef, and venison will all bind different amounts of water. The thing to do is to add the amount of water recommended, and then if you need, or want more add it. One thing to remember is that Summer Sausage is supposed to be a semi-dry sausage, in the old days it was much drier than it is usually today, so adding too much water can potentially make the end product too soft.

I just want to say a huge thank you for this video there's a lot of tips that most people and companies who make these kits don't tell you about the biggest thing for me was learning to pull it at the right temperature. I had like a 10 lb batch 2 years ago that I made that was just not good it was too dry and crumbly and the biggest reason had to have been the recipes tell you to take it out at 160 to 165 which is just wrong. I first watched this video last year and my sausage turned out awesome and I've got a batch in today and just rewatch this video just to make sure everything was going good!

I couldn't tell what smoker you were using to get to such a low temp. Would you let me know? Thumbs up. I'm headed to Amazon now to pick up the kit using your affiliate link. Thanks for the tips!
@hcamardelle THat was my MAsterbuilt 40" electric. I've had it for along time and it's held up but its garage kept. The low temp start helps but I will be making my next batch in my Camp Chef XXL pro pellet smoker. I prefer the flavor of the pellets smoker over the electric a lot. Lowest temp on that is going to be 160, so I'll just run it longer at that temp unitl the IT of the meat hits about 110 and then start easing it up a bit. THat will be a video too so please subscribe and hit that bell icon to turn on Notifications.

So you must end with the smoker temp at around 200 to get the meat 150 You said smoke every hour for first few hours then just let it go, No more pellets? Thanks
@georgethompson9162 Smoke is a matter of taste. Until you've run a few batches, be careful not to over-smoke it. too much and you won't be able to eat it haha. The 200* setting to finish just helps you not have to be there all night. You just need to watch those internal temps to make sure you start rendering the fat.

I have used the Hi-Mountain , Crack Pepper and Garlic Summer Sausage for 20 years. But the last 2 years it dont seem the same. after mixing seasoning with Meat. It always turned Brown in color.. but now its Redish...Even even after smoking to 160 degrees, its still red.. But it taste Bland anymore. They said they never changed anything. but they had too. or the company they get there Seasoning from.. Im goint to make 25lbs total instead of 30 lbs and use the whole 30lbs worth of Seasoning this time. Any thoughts ? and have you noticed any difference ? Thanks
@Dishtech48 I don't know but I still like them a lot. obviously you can use a lower pound to mix to get more flavor if you prefer, just don't do that with the cure. :-) Thank you for watching!

We made 60 lbs of Summer Sausage and used all the casings now I have about 10 lbs of meat leftover. Do I have to go buy another kit or what else can I make with this cured meat ?
@lisahipps369 If you have a jerky gun, just make it into snack sticks. You can make them skinless but you have to just handle them a bit more carefully. If you have any other casings, use those.

If you are going to process your sausage in your oven and you want a smoked flavor you can add Powdered natural Hickery smoke to your seasoning mix. It is available from many sausage-making suppliers. You can add it to your sausage even if you're going to smoke it as well, I do it adds smoke flavor throughout the sausage instead of just on the outer edges of the sausage.

Sanders Jones Summer sausage and brisket are two very different things! Brisket it typically slow smoked to about 200*IT The rub choice acts as a dry brine and helps retain moisture.

@@scottnra I hear ya. My mixer is kind of a pain in the ass to clean. It is a large "gizmo/gadget" and it does occupy a large space on my shelf of meat processing equipment. But it does prove and has proven it's worth when making large batches of sausage. Mixing ice cold sausage meat mixtures can be tiring and PAINFUL when mixing by hand. I highly recommend the Cabela's 20 lb mixer as well as the Cabela's DC Pro grinder.

Personally, I never let the meat get over 40F at any point during grinding, mixing, or stuffing. At 50 you are getting close to having binding issues in your end product.
