The Bearded Butchers Mahogany Summer Sausage Casings are made for hunters, home processors, and sausage makers preparing full-size summer sausage logs. This package contains ten inedible fibrous casings, each measuring 2.5 inches in diameter and 20 inches long. The dark mahogany color provides the familiar appearance associated with traditional summer sausage, while the Bearded Butchers branding gives each finished log a distinctive presentation. When all ten casings are fully stuffed, the package accommodates approximately 25 to 30 pounds of prepared meat mixture, making it a practical option for processing a substantial batch without placing the entire mixture into one oversized casing. To use a casing, load it onto an appropriately sized stuffing horn and fill it with the prepared sausage mixture, leaving about two inches open at the end. Included twist ties can then be used to close the filled casing securely. Because these fibrous casings are not edible, they must be removed before the finished summer sausage is sliced and served. The package includes the casings and closing ties only; no meat is included. Their 20-inch length and 2.5-inch diameter produce a substantial summer sausage format that is convenient for dividing a large batch into multiple logs for cooking, smoking, chilling, storage, or sharing according to the user's established recipe and food-processing method. Unused casings should remain sealed and dry between processing sessions. This 10-pack is a straightforward refill for anyone who already has a preferred summer sausage recipe, properly prepared mixture, and suitable stuffing equipment, providing enough casing capacity for approximately 25 to 30 pounds of meat while keeping the batch separated into manageable individual logs.Specifications and Features: 2.5-inch diameter x 20-inch length Mahogany fibrous construction 10 inedible summer sausage casings Approximate total filled capacity: 25-30 lb of meat Twist ties included Load onto stuffing horn and fill to about 2 inches from open end Keep sealed and dry when not in use Product Weight: 5 oz Brand: The Bearded Butchers Product Type: Summer Sausage Casings Manufacturer Part Number: BB-0461 UPC: 638392000461
