6. For larger casings (>42mm): place bowl of beef bung, middles, and/or rounds in refrigerator to soak overnight before use.
7. Optional for smell control – add 1/2 tsp baking soda per cup of water.

Refrigeration
The natural casings should be kept refrigerated until ready for use. Unrefrigerated, these salted casings may give off a strong odor. This is Normal.  Put the casings back into the refrigerator and the odor will subside. Natural casings should never be frozen. It affects their integrity after thawing and will cause more blowouts.
