Mike's Okto-BEER-fest Moose Sausage Recipe
Batch Size: 20lbs Meat

60:40 Ratio Moose to Pork
   
Ingredients:  
28 gram Black Pepper  
12 gram Caraway Seeds  
6 gram Mace  
12 gram Ginger  
4.5 TBSP Marjoram  
100 gram Salt  
4.5 cup or 2 x 473ml Cans of Beer  

 

These Okto-beer-fest are another hit for our backwoods boil-ups. They have a lot of flavour especially with a stout beer such as Guinness added to the mix. These are definitely not your average Oktoberfest sausages!

  • Use your favourite beer, I've used IPA and Stout having great results with both.

  • Whenever I make my own sausage spice mix I always thoroughly combine the dry ingredients on their own in a bowl.

  • Add the spice mixture to the ground meat along with all liquid ingredients then thoroughly combine by hand in a large meat tote.

  • Before stuffing into casings test-fry a sample. At this point you can add more meat or more seasoning to make sure they taste the way you want them.

  • There is no binder in this recipe and I have no trouble with meat coming apart even when making burger patties from this mixture.

Cheers, MIKE
