Cure is not needed on fresh sausage such as Mild Italian, Hot Italian, Bratwurst, and Breakfast.

Do I have to add water to my ground beef jerky?

Adding a bit of water is optional, however it can aid in the distribution of seasonings and cure.  If using a jerky shooter it will help lubricate the meat for easy extrusion.

Can fibrous casings be smoked?

Yes, fibrous casings are porous so the smoke flavour can permeate the casing.

Do collagen casings need to be soaked?

No, collagen casings are ready to use right out of the package.
