That roast looked good to me at the start!
You may need to teach me again the advantage of drying out such a good cut of beef?

Should have lots of flavor and tenderness. We are going to need some ready to eat pics.

I've never been one for the use of UMAi bags, it's just not "real" dry aging. Also to me wet aging is a load %&@$ as well....IMHO....Also it's really hard to dry age in a small fridge as there isn't quite a lot of air flow (makes for some funky smells), but it can be done never-the-less. The salt reference in this video I'm not that fond of, but I think he's mainly using it as an added desiccant because of the air flow is so low, and the fact he doesn't have control over humidity. In real professional aging coolers they don't use salt unless it's used for a curing/drying affect in some hams...ect. But this is a decent video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E97xZjDJ4lQ Still, bet it will be good eats....

Explain please why it is not real dry aging. Certainly is not wet. That piece lost over a pound in 28 days. The surface has dried out and hardened. Curious as to your reasoning and knowing your background is in meat processing.

LOL.....He's not giving up any of that fine meat! Explain please why it is not real dry aging. Certainly is not wet. That piece lost over a pound in 28 days. The surface has dried out and hardened. Curious as to your reasoning and knowing your background is in meat processing. The bag lets moisture out that much is true, but doesn't let oxygen in which allows for a anaerobic (wet) age environment. By contrast it's more of a wet age compared to a dry age in theory. Oxygen is needed for the flavors to enhance do to spoilage bacterium/molds/fungi and help to break down connective tissues, not to mention gives it the pungent flavors. Moisture loss concentrates the flavors. Together you get a tender piece of meat and a concentrated "Beefy" and "Aged" favor in the end product. So if you Wet Age you don't get these "Aged" flavorings, and you don't get the moisture loss, it tastes and smells sour and flavorless. Take a quick look at this: http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2010/04/dry-vs-wet-a-butchers-guide-to-aging-meat/38505/Or this: http://blog.golbsalt.com/2012/09/07/umai-dry-bag-is-it-really-dry-aging/But the problem here is; how does the average person age meat in a small refrigerator? They don't have the right equipment? UMAi does some of the process by allowing moisture out, but it doesn't let the spoilage organisms in. This creates enzymed broken product with moisture loss, but fails to give you that extra pungent flavor. But hey, it does work, you just don't get the real "Aged" end product, but you do get pretty dang close! Not bad if you ask me especially for the average person to be able to make these type products under below professional conditions. But there is a large difference between the three. Wet=Bronze, Wet-Dry=Silver, Dry=Gold

Today was 38 days so I trimmed it and cut it up. At 38 days It lost 1.4 lbs off moisture. Before trimming off the crust it was 7 lbs. After trimming I ended up with 5.4 lb of steak. Some of the trimming loss was due to the "knuckle" bones between the rib bones so I could cut this into 3 nice cowboy cut steaks. I will post a few pictures later.

It was the most tender piece of steak and wonderfully flavorful. I cooked it until it was just a tiny bit red inside. Overdone for my taste but an attempt to placate the person who gets a burnt hot dog next time.
