My First Dry Bag Aging with Rib Eye Loins
« Reply #-1 on: June 01, 2013, 05:05:41 PM »

Good Day All,

Sorry I don't have any pics of the bagging process. I am doing this at a friends because he has more space. I originally started with a total of 6 bags and ended up with none extra as I had some problems.

All I can add would be to watch the vids and practice bagging the bottles. Read all the great information on the their forum.

Here is what I have after 7 days. I am thinking the bond is forming well.


I know it's hard to see but the lower one is nice and dark


I will take another set of pics in another 7 days.

Thanks for viewing.

So, how long are you dry aging them?  Can't wait to see you cook a few steaks and give us your report.

We are going to trim up one after 21 days and the other 2 after 28 days.

If we like them then I will reorder more bags and try 35 days. I will also be changing out my basement fridge as it is to small. (Always wanted to do this anyway and this will give me a reason).

It certainly looks like Rib Eye to me. On the small end you can see where they removed the rib bones.

In your DryBag they do look like Strip Loins! Good bond going and that reminds me, I need to order more bags  ???

Here is day 14 update.

The vain still stands out but I think it is still looking good.


Your not supposed to touch the meat but I had to pull it out to get look.


I have to say the meat is firming up nice. We will be still cutting one up next week.

Thanks for looking.

14 days so far Rick.

Have a total of 3. We want to cut one up at 21 days and the other 2 at 28 days.

If this works as well as I hope (and my wife likes them) I will go longer next time.

Ok here we are at 21 days. I was going to cut one up for a taste, the folks over at UMAI suggested against it as they would like to see at least 28 days.

So my new plan is to cut up a small loin after 28 days and decide after that.

This is # 1


#2


#3


Q; the bond is looking really good but in watching videos of others cutting up the steaks the bark look hard. At what point will this start?

This is the most exciting thing I have ever done :) Wife and friends think I am crazy ???

Thanks for viewing.
