DIY Sausage-Making: Craft Your Own Snags

DIY Sausage-Making: Craft Your Own Snags

Making your own sausages is easier than you think, and Chomprewards is the place to share meaty creations. Homemade snags are perfect for a barbie with mates—here’s how to get started and get your friends in on the fun!
1. Choose Your Meat
Pork shoulder (20% fat) is ideal for juicy sausages. Grind 1 kg meat with a hand grinder or ask your butcher to do it. Mix pork with beef or lamb for variety. Get friends to post their meat blends on Chomprewards.
2. Season Like a Pro
For a classic snag, mix 1 kg meat with 15 g salt, 5 g pepper, 10 g fennel seeds, and 5 g garlic powder. Add 50 ml cold water to bind. Test a small patty before stuffing to tweak flavours. Encourage friends to share seasoning recipes on Chomprewards.
3. Stuff with Care
Use natural hog casings (soaked in water for 30 minutes) and a sausage stuffer. Keep meat cold (below 4°C) to avoid fat smearing. Fill casings firmly but don’t overstuff to prevent bursting. Ask friends to post stuffing tips on Chomprewards.
4. Cook or Store
Grill sausages at 175-200°C until they hit 71°C internally, about 15-20 minutes, turning often. Or refrigerate for 2 days or freeze for 3 months. Get friends to share cooking methods on Chomprewards.
Host a sausage-making party and post your snags on Chomprewards! Get your mates to share their recipes or grilling pics, and start a “Snag Showdown” to see who makes the best. Let’s get those barbie vibes going!
