5. Having a fat in a sausage is very important

Fat carries flavor and holds the lean together, especially when cooking.

Just for general information: Before grinding, put the grinder plates, worm, and as much of the grinder as you can in the freezer for half an hour or so. The fat won't be melted as much by the grinding process. The mechanical forces acting on the meat will create heat. Keeping everything as chilled as possible will minimize this.
