I'm wanting to try my hand at making Rytek Kutas' Sheboygan Summer Sausage Recipe. It calls for protein lined fibrous casings. Any reason why muslin casings wouldn't work for this? I don't think I would need to be concerned with the muslin not staying adhered to the meat during curing/drying but maybe there's something am not aware of as to why muslin wouldn't be a good choice. TIA

Ambient humidity. In a casing the meat is protected at least somewhat, in cloth casings it’s not at all, so humidity in the 70% plus range is a big key. It’s an issue with other casings too in dry ring formation but more so with the cloth.

Ahh, good call! Makes complete sense and I am a little embarrassed that didn't occur to me. Glad I came here to ask. Thank you.
