Dry aged steaks.....

[rbnice1]

You will be able to tell if there is a issue. Once you cu8t the steaks it will smell like a really beefy steak. If it smells bad/rancid/ect I would pitch it. But its not likely if you use the dry aging bags.

No no smell at all in the fridge.

Awesome! I had seen on Youtube "Guga Foods" uses the UMAi bags for dry aging, but he also has a dedicated meat fridge so a smell wouldn't be an issue for him. I couldn't find anywhere online that would say one way or the other, that was my holdup. I've got my normal fridge, and a beer fridge in the garage, I wouldn't want either one to have a bad smell. Haha. I'll need to snag some bags...

Guga's channel is what originally got me interested. It looked so easy. The only thing I will say is make sure you rotate the meat once in a while. I left mine the same the whole time and the back half froze a little. So next time I will spin it 180Deg every week.

That's pretty funny then. Lol. I will definitely make sure to do that when I get to it. I'm planning to get stuff for steak and dry cured meats.

I'm 3 weeks into aging a whole strip loin with Umai in my beer fridge and haven't smelled a thing yet!! I'm testing my beer daily to be sure!!!

Looks great to me! from my experience, 30 days was not enough, and 60 days was overkill. 45= just right. Also I quit using the UMAi bags altogether. Bare Backed Naked is even better! See in my thread below in my sig.

I think 30 - 45 days is good... I wouldnt want any stronger of a dry aged flavor.
