If you can't use beer will it still be good with chicken stock or beef stock? If yes how much would I use?

You can substitute any broth for the beer as it is called for in the recipe, if you're not sure add a little at a time to your liking. You could also use a clear juice such a apple juice to compliment the sausage mixture. This is a shared recipe and whatever the outcome it becomes yours to share.
