Dry ageing beef.

I've been looking at this unit but it has some detractors.
Seems to be a quality control issue.And at $1500 thats unacceptable. Especially when you're sticking a $150 or more chunk of meat in it.

The next best option isnt an option....
No way I'm paying $2700 bucks for a glorified refrig.

DRY AGER® | Dry Aging - Meat Fridges & Cabinets (The No.1)

I'm starting to lean towards a full size fridge with some modifications.
What is your desired temp? A glass door beverage cooler would be kind of upper crusty.

Between 36 and 40 degrees.
I like the idea of a glass front so you can see whats happening without opening the doors,plus it would allow the use of internal thermometers to cross check the unit temps.
But after reading up on beverage coolers i'm learning they fluctuate to much.
The next best option appears to be a full size dedicated refrigerator using the UMAI bags.
I really wanted to stick to the traditional methods but with what's out there as far as equipment goes it gets prohibitively expensive.

The Wife is all about figuring out the dry age process. She said there's no way she's going back to regular prime.
She's even doing research on building our own with readily available meters and temp/humidity gauges.
 
After looking at the price of a bone in ribeye roast dry aged beef for 40 days we're definitely looking into the Dry Ager. We have an 8 rib prime ribeye roast going now at my local HEB and it'll end up costing me 400 bucks for 40 days of ageing.
While it a bit expensive we've found we could pay for it in aged beef in about three years.

Very informative. Making me hungry.

But with all due respect, please stop with "ageing". It's like nails on a chalkboard.

Sorry,the best meat ageing lockers come from europe.


Both refer to the process of growing old. The British spell the word ageing, while the Americans and the Australians tend to spell it aging. The two words are pronounced the same way. ... Both words ageing andaging are correct.

So no dry ager from Germany unless we're lucky in 2019.

Well fuck that!!!
I'm building my own!!!!
Have a 16.6 cubic refrig coming with a new thermostat that is independent of the fridge so you can control temps more accurately. A multi power controller that can be set to run my UV light to kill bacteria as well as the new fan that will help control temps as well as humidity.
Two huge blocks of Himalayan salt for killing bacteria the UV light missed and I'm golden!!!

.......right up until I find something else to modify.
