  17. ### **1. Prepare the Meat**
  18. - Cut the pork shoulder into 1-inch cubes, ensuring a good balance of meat and fat.
  19. - Chill the meat in the freezer for 20-30 minutes to make grinding easier.
  20. ### **2. Grind the Pork**
  21. - Use a **meat grinder** with a medium-sized plate to grind the pork.

  25. - Mix thoroughly by hand or with a stand mixer on low speed for 2-3 minutes.
  26. - Gradually add the ice-cold water to help bind the mixture and keep the sausages moist.

  29. - Slide the soaked hog casings onto the tube, leaving a small tail.

  33. - For longer storage, wrap the sausages in parchment paper and freeze for up to 3 months.
