First off thanks to this site and the many posts out here. Reading through these forums is what produced this end result of amazing beef. And I appreciate what this community does for the world of smoking. I think this brisket started around 14lbs. I followed Guga's (of Sous Vide Everything... -

The first dry aged ribeye I did was just on a rack in the fridge, it was a bone in prime rib & I dry aged it for 40 days. This time I bought a whole boneless ribeye at Sam's & tried the UMAi dry bag method. I went 45 days on this one. Here is what I started with. This is how it looked after... -
Umai Pancetta - Should have made BACON
So after about 2 months the first of my 2 pancettas, the flat, lost 27% of its weight. I pulled it out and sliced it in half. It looks like bacon and unfortunately tastes like raw bacon. Since it looks like bacon I fried it like bacon and wow, it tastes great. I have concluded that pancetta... -
Umai Spanish Chorizo Troubleshooting
I made Spanish Chorizo using the 50mm Umai casings and their recipe. I cured the sausage for 2 days before it went into the refrigerator for a targeted 40% weight loss. After 6 1/2 weeks it had only lost 38% and I lost my patience so I pulled it out. I cannot comment on the taste as I was too... -

Ok guys I have been wanting to get into dry curing for quite some time now, but TheSausageMaker had a sale on UMAi casings & so that put me over the edge. I bought 4 packs, Bactoferm, cure #2, and their dry cure pepperoni seasoning. I read that I should use a combo of lean beef & lean pork or... -
First time trying Umai
Hi, I tried dry-aging a striploin today in an Umai bag for the first time. The vacuum seal didn't seem to seal the bag super tight, but it seemed to be tight enough that their 75-80% coverage suggestion was there. Now that it's in the fridge, it seems as though there is more air and space in...- mstphrchrstphr
