Zip tied salami developing air pockets after 1 wk

[Jim]

Hello Becky,

Air pockets (release) in dry sausage stuffed in UMAi Dry are frequent and do not cause any issues. The sausage still dries but may dry a bit slower (like an additional week or so), which isn’t all that bad. There are mainly two factors that make this happen:
1. Sausage stuffed a bit loose into the casing.
2. As the sausage dries it shrinks and separates from the casing.
Anyway, the 32 mm casing is fast drying since it is small in diameter, so I would expect your sausage should be ready in 1-2 weeks.
