Dried casing

After checking the PH this morning I forgot to close up the chamber. The casings have definately dried out. I think I’m down to my final PH of 5.2 so I think I’m going to drop the temp down and bring the temp up to 90-95% to see if I can rehydrate just enough to get that bit of skin pliable

Are you fermenting or at least at the end of fermenting? take a spray bottle and soak the casings with distilled water. Casings should rehydrate. If they are super dry, repeat application of spray water may be necessary.

Then yes, spray with mist of water....I'd do so every 8-12 hours until they rehydrate, then allow the drying process to proceed.
