Summer Sausage

[beavercreek]

I will be smoking Summer Sausage tomorrow. I will be showering with cold water after I take it out of the smoker. How long can I safely leave it hang to dry after that, before putting in the freezer ?  I would like to hang and dry for at least one day if it is safe.       Thanks.

Is the sausage cured?  What temps will it be hanging in?   i would guess that  you would be better served letting it hang in the fridge.  I know down here our temps are in the 90's and I wouldn't hang anything withoug refrigeration.

Even here in the CO Mountains, we're reaching temps in the hi 60's to low 70s...I'd hang in the fridge.
