I just made snack sticks with fermento for a little tang. Do I need to smoke them immediately? Will letting them sit overnight add a little more tang or ruin the sticks?

Thanks guys. I ended up holding them in the fridge overnight and I’m approaching the final temp in the smoker now. Always been an ECA fan but curiosity got to me for trying something different. I’ll let you know how they turn out. I hope they taste as good as they smell.

So the sticks turned out really good overall. However as far as fermento adding a tang, I’m not impressed. I am not picking up any tang. I used an ounce per pound as it recommended but got nothing. I did learn on lesson though. Don’t cut them and put them in the fridge overnight when there are two twelve year old boys in the same room. They must have eaten 3lbs of sticks last night
