    I recently got a package of tubed natural hog casings in and used what I needed for a batch of brats. They are still packed in the original salt packing. How long will they stay usable in the refrigerator? Or, can I freeze them until I run another batch? Maybe vac pack them?

    Miller I have used some that were of unknown age, but were at least 2-3 years and they did absolutely fine.

        The one’s I have in the fridge now are around 3 years old. I just keep them heavily salted and vacuum sealed. They work fine and smell fine too once you rinse them. They always smell a little weird, even fresh. You have to remember what they held and where they came from.

                Speaking of brats. Whipped up a few pounds yesterday. 10lbs Philly and 5 lbs standard brat seasoning. The second was not an Excalibur seasoning so I’ll not mention the name. Although the initials are L-E-M.

                Sorry bout that. πŸ€”πŸ˜‰
