Instructions:
1) Add pork, seasoning, and the ice. Mix together PRIOR to grinding.
2) Grind through 3/16" plate once.
3) Add Mushrooms and Swiss cheese, mix well but quickly to keep the ice from melting.
Note: Once the ice is added to the meat try and keep things moving along quickly and return meat mixture to the fridge/freezer whenever possible and not working with it. Return links to the refrigerator as well as they are made. This holds true for all sausage making. Your brats will retain a bright pink color if the are kept COLD. Your stuffer hopper should bead up with condensation if the meat mix is cold enough.
This should yield 100-110 7" links when using the 32-35 mm casings.
Tip: A #10 can is the large industrial size can that can be found at Sames Club or similar stores.
