Learned a trick for keeping sausage casings from tearing after 10 years
Been a butcher for about 12 years now, and I always had trouble with natural hog casings splitting when I stuffed them too fast. Last week at the shop I tried soaking them in warm water with a splash of vinegar for 15 minutes instead of just cold water. Made a huge difference... casings were way more stretchy and I only had one blowout on a 50 pound batch. Anyone else got a weird hack like that for casings?

15 minutes is too long, the vinegar starts breaking them down after 10.
