Ok time to go big!





Weight of fat that I trimmed from the bottom...



Into the UMAi dry age bag. Appears I got a good vacuum and seal...



Weighing in at 13lbs after trimming and dry bagging...



Into the new garage fridge. See you in 30 days ;)

Wife got me a digital fridge thermometer from Wally Mart. Looks like I need to drop the fridge temp a bit. Ideal is 36F to 38F. Good tool to have when dry aging...

I didnt think you needed to do any trimming before dry aging?

I just received my order of dry bags yesturday and hope to get to Costco this weekend
to pick up some beef to dry age.

There was about 2 lbs of fat on the bottom. It was very thick. You don't need to trim but I wanted to so that I got complete drying around the meat. This is only my second time doing this. I figure I will get plenty of thick rib-eye steaks when done ;)
