    Caso Dry Ager 63

    So far, I’ve cured a pancetta, pork loin and just have a hand of pork drying. Just getting into dry aging and charcuterie so all very easy stuff so far.. just trying to source quality fresh meat so trying lots of different butchers around me and bending their ear - still surprises me that...

    Dry aging past use by date

    Hi So, I have a hand of pork which I’ve hung in my dry ager (37f 75%RH). I’m not sure what I’m going to do with it yet, but when I purchased it the use by date was the 6th May. So do I need to use it by that date (freeze/cook) or is it okay to hang longer? Thanks

    Caso Dry Ager 63

    Thanks, yeah I did like the look of that and really like the look of it but price tag was a bit high for me. Purchased the Caso, seems okay so far but it’s not very configurable and the readouts seem different to the other InkBird thermometer and humidity readouts!

    Turn temp down?

    Thanks all, I’ve already wrapped the pancetta (not a placenta 🤢) in collagen so hopefully that will protect it for the few days. I’d already done it so don’t want to keep mucking about with it, but would definitely go with your suggestion in the future SmokingEdge.

    Turn temp down?

    Hi, I have a pancetta just nearly a week into aging. The temperature is around 51 degrees fahrenheit, 80%rh. However I want to dry age some pork loin for just a couple of days. Do you think it’ll be okay to turn the temp down to around 37 (keeping the rh at 80)? Thanks .

    Caso dry aged 63

    Thanks, that was/maybe still my original plan, the OCD in me likes it to all be neat. Anyone built one from a similar sized wine fridge? Any good ideas on keeping it looking neat :) ?

    Caso dry aged 63

    Yeah, I was thinking the same but thought it was worth a try. Just a bit strange how I can’t find anything really on it! Thanks

    Hi Interested to know if anyone has any experience/views on the dry ager. I’m predominantly thinking of charcuterie. I’ve really struggled to find any reviews online. Any help would be appreciated...

    Caso Dry Ager 63

    Hi I’m looking at purchasing a dry ager, predominantly for Charcuterie. I had toyed with the idea of converting a fridge/wine cooler but have seen reasonably(ish) priced dry ager from Caso and the external dimensions are a really good fit for me. However, I’ve really struggled to find any...
