Re: Dry aging beef?
60 days is getting to the limit for me, for the cuts that I age. Whole NY Strips and Boneless rib roasts (both vacuum sealed from Costco).

Re: Dry aging beef?
I'd wait at least two weeks before cutting your first steak and cut from the sealer side.

Re: Dry aging beef?
Why can't they have some in US to ship? Mine took forever as well. Luckily I bought enough of them!

Re: Dry aging beef?
I've been doing the same and there's wasn't much to trim off actually. Dry age bags make for thin dry edge. Cooked in smoker with sieved pepper and sea salt.
I am shooting for 60ish days on our...

Re: Dry aging beef?
That's pretty neat, but looks on the small side if you are doing primal cuts.
Thanks for posting! I am following them.

I bought the large and medium size bags. Haven't used a medium yet.
I cut from just one end and then stick a piece of plastic wrap on the cut end. After a week, bag is stuck to the meat. The...

Re: Dry aging beef?
The bags are not cheap, but well worth it. We bought a prime NY Strip at Costco for around $85 and have been working off that when we want a steak. Starting on one end on 21 and no rush to eat the...

Re: Dry aging beef?
I started using dry age bags to dry age beef and they work fantastic. They stick the meat and do not require anything special age the meat once in the fridge. You can cut from one end to other and...

Looks great. Why not the kamado the whole time?
What kind bag? I assume it let in some air? Did the meat touch any part of the bag?
I had a half a steer (grass fed from VT) aged 60 days...

Re: Dry aging beef?
if you are going 90 days, you better have the right environment set up and a large cut of meat or you'll end up with expensive dog treats.

I did the Koji on a 4 rib single cut short rib piece and another 2.5 lb eye roast. Both came out great. You'll notice that Koji and 30-60 day in fridge do come out...

Re: Dry aging beef?
I like to use a bag, you want moisture to escape, but not as fast as the fridge does on its own. I'll put meat on a plate with a paper towel under it, put meat/plate in a blown up plastic bag and...
