Unused sausage casings
« on: November 26, 2010, 06:47:16 PM »
I bought some Hi Country sausage casings from Sportsmans Warehouse. They were heavily salted and at room temperature in the store, vacuum sealed. the package says to add salt and refrigerate the unused portion. If I don't use it all this fall, will it keep in the fridge until next year, or should I freeze the rest? will that ruin them? How long are they good for in the fridge. They're natural/hog casings.

I have stored them in the fridge and in the freezer and I think the fridge worked better.

I do the same, in the fridge only.  Use lots of non-iodized salt and roll them tight in a ziploc or vacuum seal them.  I have kept some for 2-3 years.
Look man, some times you just gotta roll the dice

They will keep for a year+, probably much longer if well-salted in the fridge.  I've not heard of freezing them much.
