Crush the fennel seed with a spice grinder or mortar and pestle and mix with remaining spices and sugar.

Whisk together the beer and powdered milk and whisk in the spices and liquid smoke.

Step 3

Mix this well with the meat and stuff into casings, twist and tie off at desired length; place in refrigerator overnight to allow flavours to meld.

Prepare smoker using hickory wood chips and smoke at no higher than 165 degrees Fahrenheit as long as it takes for the pepperettes to achieve an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit, this will vary and depends on the type of smoker you are using. (This low heat will allow for the fat to stay inside the casings)
