Does anyone out there know which casings would be suitable for South African Boerewors sausage?

Hog casings are traditionally used I believe.

I have used sheep as well and they make a good sausage with a very tender 'bite'.

Yep hog is traditional, and cooked & served in a coil rather than links. Sheep is good too - particularly if you are going to make droewors (Dried Boerewors).

Thank You

hai i think iam also interested in the casings .but i dont know what type of casings to use i always use the pig ones.i have never used any other casings apart from the ones i use.i would also want to try and use the artificial ones or sheep casings.for how long can you keep the casings one month two months or what ever i dont know.and for your question i think for south african sausages you need to use the pig casings i like making south african sausages and i buy south africans farm style borewoers spices. in these casings sausages come out nicely and taste good try these casings you will never go wrong with them.
