Weisswurst - White Sausage

pig casings

250 g Veal

220 g Pork (i.e. from the neck)

250 g Bacon, no additives

g Pork Rind

Lemon, zest from it

Salt

g Phosphate

onion,

g White Pepper, ground

g Ginger, ground

g Macis, ground

250 g crushed ice

g Parsley

Rinse the salt off the casing and soak it in a bowl in some warm water.

The meat should be very cool and needs to me grind in the meat grinder first on medium, then on a small size.

Put the ground meat into the freezer for a couple of minutes, while you prepare the other ingredients.

Wash the casing inside and out with tap water and put it aside, covered with a lid.

Use your food processor to crush ice cubes if you don&#x27;t have crushed ice.

After removing the ice from the food processor, add the parsley to the machine and chop it finely.

Now add the meat and all other ingredients to the food processor and let it run for a minute.

Add the crushed ice and let the food processor run for a while. Inbetween check the temperature to be below 12°C / 53°F.

Prepare the sausage filler: Put some oil on the pipe to make it easier to get the casing onto it.

When you have the casing put on the pipe, move the hand crank until all air is removed from the pipe and some sausage comes out.

Make a knot into the casing.

Slowly turn the hand crank on the sausage maker to fill the casing. Don&#x27;t fill it too tight though since you will need to divide the sausages later.

When you all sausage is filled, make a knot at the other end.

Now divide the sausages in the size you want: 10-12 cm usually, 8 cm for smaller ones.

Turn the sausages to separate them or use some kitchen twine but don&#x27;t cut them apart, yet.

In a large pot, bring water to an almost boil at 75°C / 167°F.

Put the sausages into the water, use a plate or smaller lid to dunk them under water completely.

After 30 minutes the sausages are ready to be removed. Now you can cut them apart and either enjoy fresh or freeze for later.

Nürnberger Sausage / Nuremberg Sausage

600 g Pork Neck

400 g Pork Belly

g Pepper, ground

g Mace, ground

Lemon powder lemon zest)

g Majoram, dried

Sheep Casing

Wash the sheep casing and let it soak in water acording to the instructions on the package.

Cut the pork into smaller pieces to fit into the meat grinder later.

Mix the spices and then add them to the meat pieces.

Mix the meat and the spices with your hands until it is all evenly mixed.

Put the meat into the freezer for about 20 minutes, this makes the grinding easier.

Put the meat into the meat grinder and grind it with the medium sized disk.

Mix the ground pork with your hands again.

Put the ground meat into a sausage stuffer (either handcrank operated or electric).

Pull the sheep casing on the noozle of the stuffer and once the meat appears at the end of the noozle, make a knot at the end of the casing.

Carefully stuff the casing, don&#039;t overstuff.

Close the end of the casing with a knot, then twist the sausage every 7 to 9 cm (2¾ to 3½ inch), alternating the directions of the twist (see video).

Prepare a large pot with water and heat the water to 78°C / 172°F.

Put the sausages into the pot with water and place a smaller lid or plat on top of the sausage to make sure they are all submerged.

After 25 minutes, remove the sausage and separate them from each other. Either fry or roast the sausages on a grill within a few days or freeze for later.

Enjoy with spicy mustard, see recipe on this blog!

Klang Freudenfest Oktoberfest Lager is one of three Big Brew 2017 official recipes. To view all official recipes, or to find a Big Brew event near you, visit the Big Brew for National Homebrew Day webpage. You can also view the all-grain version of this homebrew recipe.  The following is an excerpt from John Palmer's newly updated book How to Brew:   'The original Oktoberfest celebrated the royal wedding of Crown Prince Ludwig I and Princess Therese in 1810, and they have been celebrating ever since (some beers are worth it). The hallmark of the Oktoberfest/Märzen style is a rich maltiness but high attenuation to make it less filling. If you plan to polka for 12 hours straight, then this is your beer.'

Klang Freudenfest Oktoberfest (Extract)

Fermentables

Wort A: 3.3 lb. (1.6 kg) Vienna light malt extract

Wort A: 1 lb. (0.5 kg) aromatic Munich 20° L malt, steeped

Wort A: 0.33 lb. (150 g) CaraVienne malt, steeped

Ca: 75–125

Mg: 10

Total alkalinity: 100–150

Cl: 100–150

Put 2 gal. (7.6 L) of water in the boil pot and heat to 160°F (71°C). While the water is heating, put the Wort A specialty grains (Munich and CaraVienne malts) into a grain bag and tie off the ends so the grains can’t escape.

Once the water has reached 150–170° F (66–77° C), immerse the grain bag in the water for 30 minutes. For more information on steeping specialty grains, visit Let’s Brew on the AHA website.

After 30 minutes, remove the grain bag and let it drip until it stops. Add the rest of Wort A (Vienna LME) to the water and stir until totally dissolved.

Bring to a rolling boil for 60 minutes, adding hops at specified intervals from end of boil. Add Wort B (3.5 lb Munich DME) at knockout (0 min) until totally dissolved.

Strain wort into sanitized fermentation vessel with 2–3 gal. (7.6–11.4 L) of pre-boiled, chilled water for a total volume of 5 gal. (18.9 L).

Chill wort and pitch yeast when temperature reaches 52° F (11° C), leaving it in primary fermentation for 14–20 days at 52° F (11° C).

Hold a diacetyl rest for three days at 57–59° F (14–15° C).

Gradually lower to 48° F (9° C) and hold for 8 days.

Gradually lower to 33° F (1° C) and hold another 16 days.

Keg at 2.5 volumes (5 g/L) of CO₂ or bottle condition with 4 oz. (113 g) corn sugar.

5 stars!!! My husband, German but born in the states, and I are so sore from gardening! We wanted good food, filling but comfort food! I had a German potato salad many, many years ago and was not able to reach my friend. I came across this recipe and let me tell you! It is absolutely fantastic and it beats my friends recipe hands down! Simple to make too. I even pinned it to my Pinterest board for German food. my husband loves it too!! Oh my goodness, this is very good and if you haven't made it yet- I highly encourage you to try it, you won't be sorry! Even the kids love it. :)
