summer sausage gone wrong

[dannylang]

made 25 pounds of the same summer sausage i always make, but it did not have the same taste, used the same measurements of meat, seasonings, fat content, only thing changed was i used 1 1/2 inch by 12 casings instead if the 2 or 2 1/2 that comes in package.only thing i did not do was to let it bloom in fridge for 24 hours, i dont think i really understand the blooming process, but it really must matter to the taste process. can someone explain it to me.
THANKS

It takes time for the flavor to Develop the so after stuffing it should rest in frig over night then when done it should rest for 24 hours it does help flavor a lot if you have ever pulled one right out of smoker still hot a tried it it’s very bland
