Beef casings are natural sausage casings made from the small intestines of cattle. They, too, come in different qualities and calibers, which are essential considerations when making sausages:
Qualities:
Select Grade: These casings are typically the highest quality. They are carefully selected, thoroughly cleaned, and have a consistent thickness, resulting in premium sausages.
A Grade: These casings are of good quality, though they may have minor imperfections. They are still suitable for most sausage types.
B Grade: These casings may have more imperfections, making them best for coarser sausages, where appearance is less critical.
Calibers:
Beef casings also come in various calibers or diameters, allowing for a range of sausage sizes:
Narrow Calibers: Used for smaller sausages like breakfast links or cocktail wieners.
Medium Calibers: Suitable for sausages like bratwurst or frankfurters.
Wide Calibers: Ideal for larger sausages such as Italian sausages or chorizo.
The choice of beef casing quality and caliber depends on the type of sausages you intend to make and your desired results in terms of appearance and texture
