Just tried a luncheon meat from Grimms called beer sausage,my kid loves it. Anyone have a recipe to make it?

Welcome to the forum. Big Guy posted a recipe for bierwurst here:

viewtopic.php?f=6&t=10201&p=88394&hilit=Bierwurst#p88394

Welcome, ---- just a guess out of left field ... you would not be located in B.C. by any chance??

Is that what Bierwurst means, " beersausage"

Reason for asking was because it was a B.C. company originating in Cloverdale bought out by J.M. Schneider's then again by Maple leaf .. I see they have just been sold again.

Before all the shuffle the head sausage maker use to by all his own deli meats from my friend and when the question was broached 'why don't you get them from where you work?' his reply was I make it as they tell me but that don't mean I have to eat it; besides this stuff would knock the socks off that stuff.

I will check my recipes when I have a few minuets as I belive I have the original recipe from my friend place

That would be great, Thanks.

Thats great,thanks. What is Attamate?

easiest way to let you know is post photo

Rklein, the curing salt BriCan uses is a professional type at a different concentration than most for us use. If your cure #1 is 6.25 % sodium nitrite, adjust the amount to 2.4 grams per kilo of meat.

22g per kg of all purpose curing salt sounds fine to me, but an additional 140g per kg of Attamate (which is in itself 22% salt) would give you a salt content of 52.8g per kg!!! I am assuming that's a typo? - especially as the usage rate on the pack talks in terms of around 142g per 45kg of product.

Have I misunderstood?
