That sounds pretty tasty too! Enjoy!nolaegghead said:Man, you're killing me! All that looks like the bomb.
I'm eating raw clams. Gonna cook up some 10-20 dry sea scallops later.

The pics are great. The potatoes look awesome. I need some help with my pics turning when I use my iPad.

As I was doing mine, a neighbor came over and told me after trying caveman at my suggestion, he'll never do steaks any other way.
Turned out great... The dry aging really changed the flavor profile. Besides being very beefy and tender, there was a buttery taste to the finish.

Man that looks good! I'm almost out of steaks in the freezer, as soon as I make room in the beer/meat fridge I'm going to try dry aging. Have a brisket and butts taking space. Butts will be gone tomorrow.

Make sure its a real frost free fridge. Lots of the small fridges are actually coolers of sorts and won't keep the humidity down. I'm sure @nolaegghead could explain.They/Them

DMW said:Make sure its a real frost free fridge. Lots of the small fridges are actually coolers of sorts and won't keep the humidity down. I'm sure @nolaegghead could explain.
If the humidity is too low, the outer part of the sub-primal dries too fast and becomes impermeable and you don't get as much moisture loss. This is more critical with sausage and things like bresaola. Paradoxically, you get better drying with higher humidity. For dry aging, it's not that important, the moisture loss stops after about a 30% loss.
All in all, I wouldn't worry about humidity for dry aging. You want to leave ALL the fat on and you want a good fat cap on the meat you select.
My biggest problem with curing was too low humidity. Not that big a deal with dry aging beef though. You can use any refrigerator.

@nolaegghead Good to know, I know curing humidity should be around 70% and a humidifier with controller usually needs to be added to a frost free fridge for a curing chamber. I thought I had read somewhere that the cheap little fridges couldn't be used for dry aging for some reason.They/Them

Even 80% is fine. If you have a fridge/freezer the super cold evaporator lowers humidity. A freezer run at above freezing temps that isn't frost free is probably going to have the highest humidity. Humidity too high (90+%) can introduce spoilage.

Wow! When I saw the cut, I thought to myself, "Hapster is going to reverse sear for sure". I am still in awe that you were able to get wall to wall pink doing it caveman style. Never cease to amaze me.Ajax, ON Canada(XL BGE, MED BGE, La Caja China #2, and the wife's Napoleon gasser)

Brother there is no improving your pics. They are so perfect that they almost look fake if that makes sense. You have most everyone on the forum beat when it comes to the pics. I can only think of maybe 3 others that are in your league with the photos. You are the man sir. Accept it.Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.
