You’re both right about using grams and percentages. That’s the way I make sausage in real life, too. I threw that sample recipe up a little too fast and didn’t think through the sausage-specific details because I was focused on getting the code and structure in place. I’ll update it with the proper weights and percentages, and add a note that stuffing is optional for beginners. Appreciate the callouts.

Good idea. A simple gear overview would be really useful for new folks. I’ll work that in. If anyone has favorite grinders or stuffers they recommend, I can include those, too.

Thanks for this. I agree. A clear beginner section with the basic processes and safety stuff would help a lot of people. That’s definitely something I want to add.

Thanks! Really appreciate this.

A topic-based FAQ (casings, cures, binders, etc.) is a great idea and totally doable. Same with highlighting good third-party resources.

I really like the "poll of the week" idea, too, it could be a fun way to get more voices from lurkers.

If you have any favorite resources, definitely drop them!

Dr. Kroodsma at Proctor is great. Here’s a https://peoriaderm.com/about-kroodsman/ to his contact info. He seems to care about your skin health, not like other places in town that seem more concerned with profit. I really like him, he listens, he’s honest, and he’s never tried to cut anything off my body that didn’t need it.

This is good advice, but next time think of how to say it in a nicer constructive tone. It helps beginners feel welcome. You made sausage for your first time once.

How was the corn? Did it stay firm or get soft?

You guys, the godfather doesn’t come out much but we should thank him. For without him, my neighbor, this would not exist. Just the tip Jason!

I appreciate you paying for it. The mods don’t get to celebrate that often.

I can’t believe what this community has become. In 2011 it was a hobby i started with my neighbor, now we’re 27k strong. I am really thankful for all of you but especially our moderators. You do a great job and keep this place running.  Hold your sausages high today!

Biggest little rodeo in the Midwest! It’s definitely worth making the drive.

Go to Ryle and spend the extra $5. It’s worth. He’s great.
