Thanks, Dave. A lot of info (maybe a little too much!), but not in a long, drawn out way. I now know what fibrous casings are...Thumbs Up

Wow Dave that's an afternoon of reading, but very informative.

Thank-you,

Al

Is it possible to freeze natural casing if I buy in bulk (I'm talking like a 5 years supply).

You don't need to freeze them. As long as they are packed in salt they will last indefinitely. I keep mine in the fridge

Like Al said, don't freeze.

Butcher-Packer, Syracuse, and The Sausage Maker all recommend against it.

Dave, that's a GREAT site!

Hmmm 2% lactic acid in the soaking water, I wonder?

Thanks Dave! this is some great information. I downloaded all 14 pdfs and this makes a great 470 page .pdf on Meat Processing Technology.

Going to take a while to print read this one.

What about refrigeration?

 

[DanMcG]

Yes, you want to keep them refrigerated.

Thanks Dave!!  I know very little (as in nothing) about casings.  This is going to be a real education.
