It sounds like your meat was too warm. When I grind it, I put the cut up cubes in the freezer for 20-30 minutes until the edges are kind of crunchy. Don't let it freeze though. I do the same with the sausage mixture. It sounds like this is where your main problem was. Try separating into small bowls so you can keep it cold in the fridge or freezer until you're ready to stuff. I would suggest sticking to the basics of Italian & breakfast sausages until the stuffing becomes a little easier. Those are just as good without putting them in links.

I've found the Kitchenaide stuffer to be hard to use, particularly when you get into emulsified sausages. Try not to let the mixture feed all the way down the tube before you add more. Again, keeping it near frozen helps here, otherwise it just climbs out the sides of the pusher. If you get into making a lot of sausage, get a dedicated stuffer. I finally broke down & got one last year. They're kind of expensive, which is why I waited so long, but it was definitely worth it. I got this one.

There's a ton of websites out there. I won't bore you with one's you can easily find in google. But this one http://www.mrswheelbarrow.com/ has been really fun for the past year. They've done a different charcuterie technique each month, I've learned a lot from them.

As far as books are concerned, I have this one and this one. They're both decent, but I don't know if it's not anything you couldn't find on the internet. Michael Ruhlman's Charcuterie is the bible for any home charcuterie enthusiast. You should buy that one immediately. (No, I don't get any royalties, it's just that good.)

Also try /r/Charcuterie. It doesn't get much traffic, but there are some good posts on there.

Have fun! I hope this helps. I look forward to seeing some of your results!

I'm sure I'll be talked down for this, but I recommend you buy a copy of Mastering the Craft of Making Sausage.

I am not affiliated with either the author or the book, but I have found that a very good resource full of sensible information for technique more than recipes.

Once you learn technique, the rest is up to you and your own invention.

My mother-in-law got me both of these books.

I can't remember the changes I made, but this is the book I've been using.

I have not made anything out of this book yet, but like the writing style. I am still trying to figure out why he adds powdered milk to his recipes. Any ideas?

Edit: I should say that when I make different kinds of brats, I just use my intuition on amount when adding chopped habenero, onions or chipotle powder. If it says add water, add beer. :)
