Good afternoon SMF
Recently I made a few batches of sausage including my first run at kabanosy(couldn't resist after reading all the threads here). I air dried it for 3 days after a quick smoke and poach. After air drying most sticks went into a paper bag in the fridge, but I wrapped a few in plastic wrap to take to work as snacks. Today at work I opened one up and saw that a white film or powder or maybe just grease is on the outside of the casing(collagen). It isn't on the sticks that are in the brown bag, just the plastic wrapped ones. I tried to take a picture, but it did not show up very well. It feels a little(very little) grainy to the touch. I tried to take a picture but it doesn't show up too well. Any ideas on what it might be?
Thanks,
Steve
edit: forgot to mention this was my first time air drying any sausage and so don't know if this is normal.
