This was my first try at dry aging at home.

I tried the Umai Bags

20 lb choice bone in prime rib

I was going to put my beer PID on the garage fridge but it had been staying between 35.7º and 36.5º  for the 2 weeks prior to putting the meat in.

The humidity stays between 39-45% unless the door has been opened and even then it recovers pretty fast.

I went exactly 45 days, I couldn't get any prime primals in town so I had to settle for choice.

Headed for the large Big Green Egg for some hickory smoke and to get the temp to 115º
