I'm a newcomer to home salami making and want to
try my hand at it. What is CALCIUM CHLORIDE?
Where can I get it?

We love making sausages. It all started about 18 years ago when we wanted duplicate sausages from the various regions of Thailand.

We're over in Alamo about an hour plus from you!

Where do you buy the casings, especially the sheep/lamb casings?

This looks like a very good web site. I am getting really excited about making my own sausages. I have acquired several deer and I am interrested in making venison sausages. I will try the recipies as they are printed first, then if I like the finished product, I will substitute the venison. I have viewed several web sites over the last few days and this one is the best that I have found.

Great site. I have always wanted to make my own sausage. As a child all the families around Crossville, TN used to get together and slaughter hogs and make whole hog sausage. I have never been able to duplicate that wonderful taste. Maybe now...

G'day Len. great site, I am a retired butcher fed up with buying inedible sausage from stores so decided to produce my own, commercial sausage is totally different to home made, so I had to change my mindse t no problem.It would be helpfull to have a printer friendly option for your site, my only complaint. cheers Tom

I Love your web site. It is exactly what I was looking for. I remember my grandmother making sausage when I was little, and unfortunately the art was lost as neither of my parents were interested in learning from her. I am excited to find a site with as much science as yours. THANK YOU for doing this. Your efforts are appreciated.

The BEST sausage web site I've ever seen. Superbly organized and detailed information, complimented with excellent web organization and graphics. A real materpiece, keep up the excellent work.
PS, I noticed that you have a Bradley smoker, as I do. I cannot get mine to cold smoke. Even with the main heating element off, the temp dial reads near 150F. Any thoughts?

I love your site, the best by far on the net, it is like sausage U but is there any way that we can read the answers to the questions posted on the guestbook? Seems to me that this would make a great FAQ reference and avoid repetition, maintaining this "GREAT" site has to take a good chunk of time as it is.

Your Web site on this subject is excellent.
I found it very helpful.
I am a qualified Chef but have never made my own cured meat products.
As I always thought it was too dangerous, and in fact here in Melbourne,Australia there have been deaths from badly handled commercial sausage production that have caused new laws to be introduced, and now we have a system called HAACP.
Anyway if I can get a "Walk In" set up I would give it a go.
P.S. you look like someone who enjoys sausages!
Regards Jim.

I really enjoy reading about your sausage making experiences. I have made several types of fresh sausages, and look forward to making some dried varieties. As I live in Portland, OR, we lack the humidity to dry sausages in my crawlspace. I'll have to invest in a refrigerator and some type of hydrating device.
Keep up the good work.

Dear Mr. Poli,

Excellent web-site and your recipes are gems. Thanks for providing know how that has been kept by others as trade secrets or within the family for generations. I am a Greek Cypriot and two cured type prepared meats we have on the island are the Cypriot pork Sausage called 'loukaniko' and pork loin cured called 'Lountza'. Both are marinated in wine, some leave them in wines for days other for more that a week, others pre-cure and then add to wine, others add to wine/brine mixture from day 1. Typical spices are salt, pepper, corriander and we never use preservatives such as nirates or nitrites etc. You will not find these receipes anywhere. Cypriots prepare most cured meats in the winter period when the low temparatures reduce spoliage. Both are typically smoked using shrubs and branches/leaves from the local mediterranean flora. But the wine is key.

Once again thanks and please continue with your invaluable info. like the latest humidity control article.

We have been making sausages together for several years and directed a sausage making club locally for the past several years. I have tried a couple of your recipes so far and really enjoy them. I, too, have developed a few of my own recipes and would be glad to share them if you are interested.

I love to hunt and shoot deer and I can cook deer meat in many many ways, but I've never figured out how to make sausage!
110Sun Dec 12 2004 12:21Karl Lauten kplauten@sasktel.net
Hi Len,
Thanks for the great information and backgrounds on sausage making. After decades of disappointment with retail sausage and the stuff local butchers returned to me I have started making my own sausage, beginning with my lifelong favorite: summer sausage. My first batch was good, second great, and third batch just completed is fantastic, schmecks gut! It really is a rewarding hobby, fun, and turns out a product that is far tastier and leaner than anything butchers have returned to me. I also know that my deer and elk meat is truly mine and is as clean and fresh as I want it to be. Thanks for the recipes and advice as it was very helpful in the technical aspects and it provided the encouragement and confidence to actually try it. Had I known it could be done I would have been making my own sausage for decades..............karl

Great website Len! My father-in-law introduced me to making homemade sausage with his buddies and I fell in love with it. I bought two old fashion meat grinders (each has different grinder blades...and they only cost $8/piece so what the hell) from an antique store and I am digging into some of your recipes this Saturday. Thanks for the info and I will let you know how it goes. Also hope to maybe post something unique to your website in the future.

Love this website...I was looking for more complete directions for sausage making since I am compliling my mother and grandmothers' recipe files for my family, and of course, they only list ingredients with no directions. I remember making sausage on butchering day very fondly as that was my job, but it has been nearly 30 years ago now! thank you for sharing your great recipes!

Keep up the great work

Thanks for your very informative site. You have given me the inspiration (and simple easy to understand recipes and processes) to have a go at making and enjoying my favorite things. Salami, bread and wine. Enjoy.
You would't have a simple plan for a smoke-chamber/incubator would you? Regards.

Your sight is awesome! While I don't agree with everything (this is quality Italian cooking, where's the fun in conformity?) I think your sight is vital to our ability as people to enjoy this wonderful tradition.

My family will be made aware of your sight, and may'be we'll be joining your webring.

Here's our handy work: Salame Calibrese and my Habanero Diavolo Mix!






Note: The plastic bags are because my mix will cause skin irritation.

I like the detail you've made available for all types of sausage making. I'm curently only working with fresh sausage recipes. Perhaps cured sausages are in my future. And when that happens, I intend to study your site carefully.

Hi Len,

Thank you very much for responding to my enquiry and request for your opinion on sausage grinders/stuffers. I believe that even my little KithenAid sausage grinder will grind meats satisfactorily if I keep the meat very cold (so I don't want to blame the grinder for operator ineffectiveness). I believe that I will be better off if I buy a decent sausage stuffer (keeping in mind your well-mentioned issues of flexibility). It seems that if I buy a well built stuffer with flexibility in tube size (say, up to one and one quarter inch) I'd be able to make pepperoni, summer and brats, filling natural and artificial casings. Any advice on stuffers (I see you use a horizontal one)?. You have a great website, and I thank you in advance for any advice and wisdom you may throw my way.

Thanks again,

Bob Parson

I now make about 30 different types of sausages. Your web site is the best informative web site I have found on sausage making. It has helped me so much. Thank you for all your info. I like to try different recipes. Your information and knowledge has made it so much easier for me. Thank you again.

I tried making salami from a homemade family recipe and I had a major problem. My salami was hollow in the middle (or mostly hollow) and brown in color--only the outer edge of the salami was red. What am I doing wrong? Can you please e-mail me and tell me? I had to throw 6 salami in the garbage after all that work.

Yeaterday I cloned some Brats and Breakfast Sausage using you recipes. When I laid out samples for tasting, everybody was raving. The apple didn't fall far from the tree. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and helping me revive an old family tradition.

I wish to congratulate you on your website , it is truly a marvel that amateurs like me are able to find such an in-depth technical support as well as practical hints on the subject

I'm sending you my bests wishes from Argentina for your future endeavors ; last but not least be ready for tons of questions ( I?m sorry but I couldn't help being honest with you ) on the art of sausage making ,particularly on hot dogs which have fell into disrepute in Argentina , ( don't ask me why )

Hang in there with your website ¡¡¡ and good luck

Len, Many thanks for providing such a wealth of information! Recently I have had the opportunity of purchasing the trimmings of commercial boiled ham from a local ham and longanisa factory. What are your thoughts on making some sausage with these? The ham by itself is delicious but the price is very low and I'm looking for a use for this product. It is of course completely cured and is just the offcuts from hams which are shaped to fit into Poly bags. Yours thoughts and/or is\deas would be much appreciated. My wife (a Filipina) and I retired way back in 2003 I'm now 67 and we keep goats and make our own cheese and have a couple of small farms. Regards, Bill.

178Sat May 28 2005 06:22Christa W Nowezki Joecrino@Yahoo.Com
Finding your website was a god send, I just recently started to experience making my own Rauchfleisch, Schinkenspeck etc (cold smoked cured ham)for which I had a recipe my father used to make in the Alps and it turned out fabolous thanks to a website from Germany that explains in detail how to cold smoke. Now I wanted to know if I could find a recipe for Landjaeger another favorite for my husband and I and up came your site and I am so exited over all your recipies, Breasola, Coppa, Salamies and I find they are all able to be done even here in Florida with some improvisation for the air drying considering it can get very hot here in the sommer, but the best thing is I do not have to order or buy those very pricy items like the Breasola and Rauchfleisch run about $16. - $25. per pound and the Landjaeger for two links $4.50 and besides this is a very satisfying hobby to being able to do by myself.
Thank You very very much,
Ciao

Hello from Malaysia! I am a semi-retired Austrian-Canadian who has at last found a place in the sun. In the absence of any good local sausages (and in the presence of over-priced, often spoilt imported stuff), I have started to make my own sausages, bacon, artisan breads, etc - with astonishing results. Your website is one of the best, down-to-earth resources I have found on this topic. You are doing a fantastic job! Keep up the good work! God bless!!!

Outstanding job Len! I've been making sausage at home for over 17 years when I could not find the artisan sausages I ate in Europe for sale in the US. Early on, Rytek Kutas helped me out and in the last few years your website has provided me the insight to take my sausage making to a higher level. Thank you for a wonderful public service and for raising the state of the art in home sausage making.

Thank God for Len.

Mr. Poli,
Great website. I am a chef for a major foodservice company and a graduate of CIA. I loved all the research you have done and the exstensive knowledge.
I am planning to open a buisness in the next 8 months making and selling sausages and meats. I live in Charlotte, NC and the area is just become over grown with East and West Coast transplants. Any info you have on complying with law on accually producing and selling would be so helpful.

Cheers,

what an interesting site
I was checking into getting a Universal Meat Grinder, like we used to have when I was a wee thing. and that led me to checking on sausage making. What an informative site for education someone who is interested. I an excited to try one of the raw recipes and see how that works out for us. Thanks

I will be retiring in Nicaragua as my social security will allow me to keep my current great lifestyle in the good old US. I intend to make ham, bacon, and sausage as a little income. I have made patty sausage but never with casings. I am trying to learn as much as I can prior to retiring.

You've got a great website! I've been on The Internet since 1990 and in the past a search for "sausage and recipe" only yielded recipes with sausages in them. I moved from NYC to Alaska last year and could not get Italian sweet fennel sausage like I used to get at my favorite "pork store," Fiacos in NYC, here. So I decided to start making my own. Stumbled upon your site a couple of days ago while looking for a recipe for Filippino Longaniza. I'm going to give your mix a try later today.

What a great site. More usable information than any site I've been to. I've been making sausage, salami and cure meats since I was a boy. Raised on a farm nieghbors would get together every year to help each other with the slaughter and processing of each others pigs. What a great time. The practice of sausage making in my family has been passed down from father to son over the generations. I taught my son and now my 8 year old grandson already knows how to make the family sausage recipe.

Sure appreciate the info. Sausage making is new for me. It took 2 years to develop a jerkey recipe. Daunting to consider how long it may take to develop a recipe or two for sausage. With health concerns in mind, am looking for low fat and other advantages by doing my own. Your expertise has already proven thought-provoking and helpful. Thanks>

Thank you for the wealth of information on your site. I have used your recipes to utilize the venison that I bag from bow hunting to make some really incredible summer sausage, peperoni, salami, bologna, Ring bologna(what we call Trail - it's an Ohio Amish Ring Bologna).
My kids and I really enjoy the end product, and I relied on your site for the formulations, I have enven experimented with some variations ie. adding Honey and Jalepeno peppers to the trail (Ring Bologna) mix, and using both the heart and liver in the Bologna recipe, it turned out fantastic, kind of like a cross between bologna and leberwurst.
Thanks again!

What an awesome resource! I spent over an hour looking over your site. Originally I came here looking for a good German summer sausage or salami for a story. I want to hint that the mother is German, so as a snack she'll now be serving thin slices of plockwurst with crackers and cheese.

But this sausage making looks too much like fun. I'll have to try it someday.

Len,
Great making sausage with you yesterday! (1 16 06)Please excuse the apparent disorganization of our host, we had no electricity on this mountain till 11:30 last night. Frank is really a National Barbeque champion and is working on the finesse of sausage. (not everything needs to be immediately smoked and bagged) I like the fact that Glen's stuffer holds a goodly amount of casings for a good 15 lb load. When we do big 300lb batches at my house we have a spare horn that we load while stuiffing with the first. I'm here to get the recipe for your Coppa and will start it today. Thanks again foor driving down and sharing your expertise.

Been eating italian homemade sausages for over forty years now. They were all homemade by recipes of italian immigrants in our community along with the good old pressed wine. As children of these immigrants we don't seem to follow their traditions and resort to buying them, and they are quite expensive.I am glad I found a site which is very extensive and complete. Think I will give a crack at making some dry cured.

I've just started making sauages, etc and I have found your web site very useful. The content, recipes, etc and very good.
I see you make prosciutto and salt dried mates. It would be good to see the same how to for this as will.
But thank you for creating such a good site.

I just want to say that I've been making Sopressata for the passed 14 years since my parents passed away and although I never wanted to learn in my 20's and early 30's I alway's enjoyed eating it. When my last parent passed away I felt pressure to carry on the tradition. I read books and talked to anyone that even resembled an Italian. I made my mistakes along the way and finally said that if this batch does not turn out I quite. Luck would have it it turned out perfect. Since then each batch was better then the previous year and now I feel that I can make Sopressata taste like dandelions if I had to although I wouldn't want to. My point is if I would of discovered your web-site sooner I could of saved myself boat loads of money and much time. I hate to waste and I really hate to spend money and waste at the same time. Your web-site is perfect and I truly enjoy clicking through your information. To add anyone that asks me how to make Sopressata I give them my recipes and procedures along with your web-site address.
Bene Grazie

Why the sudden change with the site? I was looking for the formulations page from A to Z and could not find it....I always used to refer back to that for percentages and such....and now its gone. Are you going to start charging people to view certain recipes??? Thanks.

We are making salami,the salami milano-style and the salamini cacciatore.We have followed the recipe to specs.We used Meat Starter Culture LHP in the meat past fallowing directions, we also used the M-EK-4 Bactoferm to dip the cased salamis in.We cased the salami milano in 2 1/2 inch fiberous casings, an dthe salamini in 38 to 42 hog casings.We are now in the dring process right now.We are dring in a walk in cold box, tempature has remained in the 55-68 degree range and the humitity is in the 70% range.

Question: Is an ammonia smell normal?

Also we have no air circulation in the walkin, is this nesisary?

Have used your sausage resipies and techniques with great succses.Enjoy your web sight emencilly.Any help would be greatly appreashiated.

Yours truly,

I am about to enter the world of sausage making. I have ground my meat and found out that you must remove all of the fat and gristle before I grind the meat. Or buy very lean meat. I am now about to fill the casings. I will look on your web site to get any tips which are forthcoming. Wish mr look.
400Tue Mar 7 2006 14:13Paul Fec fisher501@yahoo.com
Hi again Len! I have a question for you. I order all of my ground pork butts from a local market and I always have the butcher NOT trim the fat from the meat for my soppressatas. It always seems to come out pretty much the same....Do you feel I'm taking a chance by doing so or is there an average percentage of fat on most butts??? I notice that your recipes have the percentage of fat to meat....should I be calculating the percentage of fat to meat for my recipe?? Thanks Len....Oh by the way, I figured out how to view the formulations. I was just confused since I was used to the old page. Thanks again.

Hi there Len. On Friday I purchased two fresh hams and I'm going to try to make some of my own prosciutto. I have a few questions....As the salted hams are curing in my plastic container, should I drain the moisture that is coming out of the meat? I was planning to leave it for a week then remove it and re-rub my salt mixture and do that for 3 consecutive weeks before smoking and hang drying. Also, should I be pressing the meat at this stage to remove more moisture from the meat? The hams are huge and the bone is still remaining. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

We had a great little Tex-Mex Bar-B-Q joint in Bocas and will be headed back to Panama to open a Bed and Breakfast Horse ranch near Boquete Panama. Hope to have my sausage skills in place upon my return.

I'm from Bolivia and I was looking for a detailed explanation for salami and prosciutto, your site is the most complete I could find on Internet, also help me with a lot of problems related to temeperature an humidity control, because here the temperatures changes from 65 F to 32 F within the same day, and it's also very dry like 20 to 25%.

Thank you very much I've add your page to my favorites to see it regularly
448Fri Jul 14 2006 04:00Peter Achleitner futurum@operamail.com
I have ordered some sauage making supplied from Sausagemaking.org, the "great" British web site mentioned on your "Resources" link. I asked them to ship everything by courier (I live in Malaysia), for which I paid an additional 60 british Pounds. When the package arrived two months (!!!) later, I found that one of the ordered items was not sent at all, and 11 out of 12 other items were spoilt and cannot be used. These fellas threw all the small plastic wrapped spice mixes into a single plastic bag supplied by the courier company (Parcelforce.com) - needless to say, the small plastic bags got crushed, spillt, got caked from water damage, and everything was a mess. I sent a letter of complaint to the company - together with photographs of proof, and even offered to send them back the mess. I asked for at least a partial refund. So far, I have not heard from the company again, nor did I receive a refund. Buyer beware!!!
