Looking to order a hank of 22mm Sheep casings from Syracuse Casing. Does anybody know if I can store these for a while or do I need to us them all at once? Also How much sausage would a hank (100yds) of this size make?
I use sheep from syracuse. They come in a ring hank and store well in a salt solution in the fridge. My hank did around 300lbs, had a few strands with cuts but no biggie. I think they have calibrated sizes.
A hanks worth are bulk, not flushed or tubed. The tubed ones are easier to use but alot more costly at the same time. I've been getting my tubed sheep casings from my local butcher for cheap. You basically take the tube and slide the casings directyl onto the horn. He buys a ton for his business.
Very confused now. From their web site "Casings are bundled into "hanks" which is the industry standard of 100 yards of casing."
The description is "100 yards of premium Imported Natural Sheep Casing with a stuffing diameter of 20/22mm. Ideal for Pork Sausage, Small Frankfurters, and Cabanosa." These are pre flush tubed casings.
What am I missing? Thanks for the replies..
