Maybe...

Storing sausage after drying

I just finished a batch of soppresseta. can I just wash off the mold, leave the casing on and hang it in the basement?
I dried it to @ 38% of the green weight as I like it on the dryer side. Also it is pretty arid where I live.

Will it continue to dry and become too hard?

salt pork instead of fat back

Another newbie question.
Can I use salt pork in place of Fat back in dry cured sausage? does the salt pork contain enough salt to affect the recipe? If so how do you compensate for it in the recipe?

Thanks

I put my sausage in drying chamber 8 days ago I did not use mold stater but they now look like this. It appears to be the same mold as when I do spray, just a question from a beginner.
