hey folks,
these went in on the 22nd of Feb so they've been drying for a little over a month. Took one out yesterday cut into it and this is what i saw! What is happening here?
The flavor is good and it lost about 35% in weight. the outside is a little dryer (having issues with case hardening) but what i don't understand are these air pockets. these are collagen casings so i stuffed them really tight. its like the meat shrunk and pulled away from itself. can anyone figure out why this happened?
