Using a fan to dry sausage casings?
Posted: Sun Oct 13, 2013 13:00
Have any of you guys ever stuffed your sausage and hung it at room temperature to dry and maybe used a fan to speed up the drying process so you can put it in the smoke?
I did that on my last batch. The only difference I noticed was when the sausage was finished in the smokehouse the casings turned out a lot tougher than normal. Everything else I did was the same so I'm wondering if using the fan over dried the casing and caused this. It wasn't a bad batch of casings, had some good sausage come from the same package.
