    Do you guys think that you could add salt to them and a little water then vac pack them in a chambered vac sealer for long term storage in the some fridge? Say like if you bought some tubed gut and only used half of the tube?

      ND Mike Yes you can. I’ve stored them in a salt brine like that for several months.

      You never work a day in your life if you love what you do.

          ND Mike I use the tubed gut. I leave them in the original package, add more salt to the leftover ones, and put in just a ziplock freezer bag in the fridge. never tried vac sealing

            ND Mike I always use my chamber sealer when I re-seal my casings. It seems to keep the salt solution in suspension.

                I ran short on my sheep casings and I found some in my freezer in a salt brine that were from 2018. They looked and worked as good as good as the newly purchased.

                    Never thought about Vac sealing my casings. May have to consider it since my wife does not enjoy the lingering smell (very mild but she is like a police hound dog for smells as faint as they may be)

                      The advantage I see from vacuum sealing casings is that getting the air out would limit oxidation, just like it does with foods that get vacuum sealed.

                        processhead yes that and the odor problem is gone. My wife has a nose that can smell small changes so anything I can do for her I try.
