Dry aging beef?

Seth you have no idea how temped I was

OK, so 12 days in
I had my first doubting moment today
To me the meat appears to be shriveling away to nothing, I placed it on the scale and found the weight remains unchanged from day 7, providing much relief.
At this point my wife is ready to call it quits as the sight of it disgusts her.
I however, will soldier on.
The RH has dropped and held in the 43 to 48% range for the last 3 days.
Still no drips in the pan.
Also, there is absolutely no odor at all.

You'll see what happens when it comes time to trim it down. You'll have to cut off all dried meat until it looks like just raw fresh meat. From this go around, you can decide the next time the right balance of meat loss and dry aging time.
