I’m pretty sure I’ve figured out that one of the higher end butchers here in Welly who advertise as having gourmet artesian sausages, are just using the Dunninghams seasonings. Majority of there sausage flavours are the same as the Dunningham seasoning and also gluten free like them as well.

Do Dunninghams do gluten free I couldn't find it on there website

I get the FLM and QI sausages meals off Dunninghams and they're all gluten free.

What have you found the best that goes with venison

Garlic and herb, chorizo, lamb and mint (venny and lamb trimmings), bratwurst, cracked pepper and merlot.
There’s heaps there on that link. You’ll know which ones will go with venny. To be honest, there’s normally that many herbs and spices that you could pretty much use any meat and not really tell what it is. Pork back fat pretty key as well. I have just used lamb fat before and it was fine also

I've found the casing boutique to be the best. Have a wide selection at decent price

Dunninghams if you buy in bulk, but they can be a pain to untangle how much you need.
I used these last time. Makes 50kg and cost $60. Come on plastic tubes so you have zero untangling to do.

Casing Boutique seems like the cheaper deal.

Thanks guys. Did 20kg over the weekend but the casings from casings.co didn't have much stretch in the and ripped real easy. Still tasty but

They were sheep casings

I use the synthetic casings, no pre soaking or rinsing just slide them on the tube, seem to tie up good and just wet them before you hang up in the chiller for a day or so

I'm a big fan of the QI bratwurst mix in the siver pouch. Its a nice balance of flavor without, i do add an extra helping of crushed white pepper corns for a little extra bite.

Sheep casings are quite delicate and rip pretty easily. Takes a bit of practice and need to go a bit slower. Hog casings are pretty forgiving but are bigger so tend to end up with quite big sauasges

I like the venison meal it only comes in 5 kg bags witch is fine for me and dose keep for a long time the other tip t have is I use a stainless paint / plaster mixer that goes in the end off a drill to mix the season into the meat.
