Start by choosing a strong IPA beer for good flavor.

Add 2 tablespoons of mashed cannellini beans to a bowl.

Mix in a little sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, and more garlic powder.

Add smoked paprika, ground mustard, nutritional yeast, and low sodium soy sauce (2 to 3 teaspoons depending on taste).

Incorporate about 1/4 cup of vital wheat gluten per sausage.

Mix until it forms a thick dough; if too sticky, add a little flour until the right consistency is achieved.

Roll the dough into a sausage shape using parchment paper.

Tightly wrap the sausage in parchment paper and seal the ends with a rubber band.

Label each sausage with a pencil to avoid mixing them up.

Wrap the parchment paper sausage in a bandana cut into squares (optional).

Steam the sausages for about 40 minutes, checking the water level halfway through to avoid burning the pot.

After steaming, place the sausages in the fridge overnight to firm up.

Unwrap the sausages after they've chilled and check their firmness.
