Hey, guys please bear with me,I'm new to this sausage making thing and I don't fully understand the curing thing yet.I have a few questions  before I make this batch I have 12 lbs of pork shoulder I'm grounding up to make sausages .But would like to freeze so,me to smoke later or bbq whatever I feel like that day

1 After adding the cure to the mix  do you have to let the meat sit in the fridge before  stuffing?

2  After stuffing do you have to let  sausages sit out before packaging and freezing?

3 I've read about hanging them in a cool place for days  could someone explain this a little more in detail, please?

 thanks for being patient guys
