For optimal preservation, casings should be salted, then drained well (24 to 48 hours depending on the type of casing) and then placed back in saturated brine.

Making a saturated brine is very simple:

• A saturated brine is a brine in which the salt no longer dissolves.
• This generally corresponds to 250g of ordinary salt / litre of water.

Tip:

To test the saturation of your brine, take a raw, washed potato.

• Plunge it into the brine, the potato should float freely; if it is a little "in between", it means that there is not enough salt.
• You must therefore continue to add salt.
• Let your brine stand for 1/4 hour before testing it.

EXCEPTION:

• After sprinkling with salt, casings on pipes or soft tubes should not be drained for more than 1/4 hour, otherwise the casing will stick to the plastic tube.
• Then put them in saturated brine.

That's it !
