I thought this looked interesting. Would love to hear opinions from those who dry age beef

Interesting idea, but that is still a lot of money.

Agree!!!  You can buy a whole lot of <a href="http://www.drybagsteak.com/shop-all-umai-dry.php">UMAi</a> bags for that price and you don't need to find an extra 34 inches of unused space to put them in.

I would love to have one. Very cool! If they made a stand alone unit I might consider it.

However I just ordered the new Uuni 2 and my CFO would not approve anyways.

Could you use a one of the little refrigerated wine cellars and wrap the meat in cheese cloth and accomplish the same thing.  It seems to me to be a mini fridge that hold at 34 to 38 degrees.

It controls the temp and humidity. Being able to control the humidity automatically is the main selling point.

The humidity plays a critical role in proper dry aging.

I have and used the dry age bags and they work well but this is high on the cool factor.

It is a pretty cool idea, but I agree; kind of pricey and it would take a lot just to break even.

It looks like it is a stand-alone unit.

This would work very well for the person who wants to do small amounts. At 550 bucks its very reasonably priced. I know just how much you can spend on this stuff and you have to fiddle with it to make it work properly. I have made some very good dry aged products in my setup but if I had seen this years ago I would have jumped all over it. Like Mike said this is just way cool, if I bought one I would have to go back to work and I sure don't want to do that.

I thought it was a install unit only? Hmmmm

I meant that with emphasis on "looks";  In other words the way it's encased, it looks like it could be setup as a stand-alone unit and still look decent. Hopefully that makes more sense.

I just put this into my Steaklocker, AKA beer fridge, right next to 2 cases of BUD LIGHT.

It is a fair amount of money. But, if a family was buying dry aged steaks on a regular basis, I think it would eventually pay for itself. It DOES have the cool factor, and let's a person choose the meat to age vs. what's available at the butcher... Lot's of ifs... but it is pretty cool.
