Anyone making their own sausage? I went down the YouTube worm hole yesterday.....
It seems like something I would enjoy

I really want to do this but haven't taken the financial plunge to get setup with everything. For a decent grinder and stuffer it's a fairly substantial investment.
We make a good bit of sausage with our deer, antelope, and Elk. I think I have gotten to where I really only hunt so I can have meat to make sausage. We have also expanded a bit to make our own breakfast sausage with pork butts. The quality is so much better, and you can make it to your taste.
In short I really enjoy it
Wife has a KitchenAid. Do you think the attachment for that is good enough to start with?
I do a fair amount every year with a Northern Tool grinder. I’m lazy. Only grind once. Into the tube, through the knife plate, then straight into the casing. One and done. Super easy to learn. I like knowing what goes into it. Beats ANYTHING you can buy at the store.

Bought a grinder and tried it a couple times but just didn't come out good. I need a good seasoning recipe for it....
The one thing I’ve found is that quite a few recipes are light on the seasonings except for the salt. I cut the salt in half and add more of the other stuff. You’ll figure out pretty quickly what you like. Write it down. After mixing a batch, run a few pieces through the grinder to make a small patty. Fry it up and see if it needs more of something.
Is everyone using pink salt? I'm a little foggy on when or why it's needed.
I use Kosher salt. I’ve never used the pink curing powder. I think it’s for dry curing or cold smoking. Maybe I’m wrong?
