How do y'all store your jerky. I made my first this week. No way I can eat five pounds of it so I bagged ad froze about 2/3rds of it. The other third I bagged and me and my boy has snacked on it all week. But I've noticed the bag and meat has beads of water. I assume the cure and seasoning in the meat is pulling water out of the air. Will it hurt the meat? If so how do I stop it?
Thanks

Are you sure it's water and not excess fat weeping out of the meat?? What type of meat did you use?

When you say whole, I will take it you mean you cut into strips and marinaded then dried.
What method of drying and @ how long did you dry the meat for? (meaning, dehydrator, oven,etc)
I am just curious, I do alot of jerky and never once had water inside the bags afterwards
