I always add a little vinegar to the soak water just to lower the pH a little....helps fight bad bacteria.....also softens the casing slightly, but be careful not to add more than a TBSP. per quart....

I have had casings in the fridge for 4 years using Joe’s method. They are ready to go right away & I never have any blowouts. They also grill up better, nice snap, but no chew. I do use a tsp of vinegar in the container with the casings while storing.
