Do full hanks generally come in a slurry instead of dry salt pack?

Yes, hanks come in a slurry.

The home pack I got from TSM was vac sealed in dry salt. The hank I got from them was vac packed in a salt slurry. The ones in the hank are much nicer casings to work with even though they were treated the same for storage, ala the boykjo method.

Hi all! I'm planning to make some sausage this weekend and wanted some advice for prepping natural hog casings. My last batch the sausage was good but the casings were bit tough.

Make sure you are using a good quality casing. Check out Syracuse casing. This is the best I have found and there home packs are not the "waste" the most places sell. https://www.makincasing.com/
