Leave it in your refrigerator until ready to cook, you'll be just fine...

I have one dry aging in my refrigerator right now for Christmas. By the time I smoke it, it will have been in there for about 5 weeks...

8 days is no problem in the fridge. Make sure it's well wrapped, though, so it doesn't dry around the edges....

If you have to freeze, it hurts Nothing!!!
Most of these (Below) were frozen 2 or 3 years before I smoked them, and they were all Awesome!!!
