thanks,

i tried the Mortons sight earlier, and the locator feature was down. I will try again, and I saw it at an online source for about $3.50 for a 2# bag. they also had some bbq rubs I might want to try.. win..win..

most Super Lows carry casings..for mail order I go Allied Kenco..They are the best IMO when it comes to anything in regards to sausage making..great customer service too

I'm assuming alot of you read Mark Ruehlman's book Charcuterie.
Well, I have just recently got into curing my own meats. I am looking for dextrose (sometimes called glucose powder) in the area. Thanks

I believe that The Spice House carries dextrose (and curing salt, if you need that too).

im not using it for sausage(traditional corned beef cure, and curing a veal breast for corned beef), but I found Pink Salt(Prague Powder # 1) for those of in the SW suburban area. @ Czimers for $3.99/LB.. cheapest I have seen by a few dollars/LB.

the gentleman who answered the phone said he would sell me just a couple teaspoons or a lb., I like the flexibility,I only need an oz. or so., but will probably get the whole LB., just so im not a total p.i.t.a.

Anyone have a local source for bactoferm (curing mold)? It's available mail order but would like to find it locally if possible.

I've never seen it for sale locally but if you call around to some of your favorite places in town that make dry-cured sausage, you may find someone willing to spot you some.

We're trying that too but figured it would be worth asking...

Also looking for large casings (hog middles--55-60cm). Really need them by Thursday so on line options aren't great. Planning to call around to the butcher shops tomorrow but any help here would be appreciated. Thx!

Last time I was in GNR Northwestern Cutlery I noticed that they had a bunch of sausage making stuff (casings, grinders, etc.) near the front door. I didn't look in too much detail, but it might be worth a call to see if they have what you need.
