leftover Hog casings

[Aces high]

I was just wondering if I can keep the left over hog casings. I purchased salted casings and ended up only using half, but I have put the whole lot in water and also rinsed the insides though with water.

I have put the leftover skins in a cliplock bag and added some salt, so they are now sitting in the fridge in a salt water slurry will they keep this way or is there some better option?

Best if you drain them and then pack in salt and keep in the fridge.

... is there some better option?

Resalting is the best option for storage once they have been soaked - but try to use them asap. The best option is only to soak as many as you'll use. To assist, there's a calcuilator that can be downloaded here:

thanks guys, I will see if I can drain them better and get more salt in there.

I did actually use the calculator and it was very accurate, unfortunately in the end I changed my mind and didn't use all the meat I was originally going to, but i'd already left the cases overnight to soak
