Ok awesome. I’ll pick some up before too long as I want to have all my stuff ready to go
1st word of advice, forget about the kitchenaid mixer for blending. It will work till maybe your 8th or 10th pound of meat being mixed, before taking a shit. Usually midway between getting started and not even close to finishing.

IF you're wanting do do sausage, what i've found works best (for me) is.... Cube the meat / poultry in to 1-2" cubes, add seasonings then mix well by hand. Stir by hand 2x a day for 2 days max, depending on meat. Then grind using a 2 step process, 1st a coarse grind, followed by the smaller grinding plate.
YMMV as the whole process is a learning curve for what works best for you.
Oh yeah. Look at the LEM #8
