100 Day Dry Aged Beef Project

"this is a strange place. Quality post gets quiet reception.  Should have just asked which charcoal to use when cooking the steaks. (Sarcasm)"

@Darby_Crenshaw, it actually isn't too surprising.  For a thread to get really long it seems to require either 1) A LOT of people to have an opinion or 2) a deviation to another more prolonged topic than just the original cook - which usually springs from #1.

On the topic of dry aging there are relatively few who have enough experience to have an opinion that they are willing to post.

Brent, what model of boat is that? (not really trying to make this a long boat thread, just curious because I grew up boating/skiing and wouldn't mind getting back to it one day)

It's a '15 Mastercraft X 30.  Great all-round boat. PM me any questions brother. 

This reminds me that I have had a roast dry aging since mid July.  Should probably look into slicing into that bad boy.  It's getting pretty small.

And I will add to the nice boat topic.  Spent a few fun filled hours here and there in, behind, in front of (or around) boats in my day as well.  @Foghorn Was that Sea World in Texas that you skied for a living?  How long ago?  I know a few former pros from back in the day.

The pics aren't very good, but you get the idea.  I was pretty much an advanced recreational skier that learned a few tricks for a job.  However, between work and fun I did get to ski with some pretty good skiers a times.  @RiverRatSkier, where did you grow up and ski?

I, too, like dry aged beef. Although I have never ages it myself. 

Dry aged beef...is that when you raise cows in the desert?

I wish I could still comfortably foot at 38.  I tend to not be able to breathe going that slow these days (too much beer and meat have added a lbs).  And my feet are too tender to handle a reasonable 42+  for very long.  Good thing I am a show skier and only have to stand up for about 50 yards.  But it's a fun 50 yards with about 14 others next to you.

I tend to prefer jumping and skiing backwards around the boat a bit more, but still have fun on bare feet.

And I lose way more IQ points with beer than crashing at high speed.  What were we talking about?

@Foghorn you sure were goofy when you were a young man.

Fat cap up for dry aged beef. 

i like rockwood. If you are inexperienced with many types, it's a good one to start with

What rants?

find me a rant where I don't explain myself fully and ask the right questions or admit that I don't know something. 

I just got admonished by RRP for "sparring" re umai bags when i GUARANTEE you that there has been no one here who has offered more positive opinion for the things those bags do right than I have. I explain their benefits for extended aging, the way the dey differently than open air, why you might choose one over the other...

have you evwr heard anyone else explain how they work and why you might prefer them? Other than "I don't know what's happening or why, but the wife likes things wrapped in plastic, so i buy them to **** her up" 

everyone stops at "it keeps the wife from bitching". Because even they don't understand them, what they do, how they work. I recommended them tonight openly to a guy. And yet their forum mod calls me on the carpet for "sparring" 

just here to learn and to push the understanding of the three or four things i care about

Someone says something stupid, it needs to be slapped back into the trash

for example. Find the threads i have started about how to cook a perfect brisket. Zero. And I don't weigh in. I don't speculate (unless i say i am guessing or use the word 'maybe')

there are a sh!tload more vocal ranters here who never get called out on their opinion (vs fact) based cr^p

also, eff steven

Brother Dyal, I missed it as well. In my defense my forum time has been very limited for the past few months. This is a very busy time of the year for me. Between work, the Blue Lodge, Scottish Rites, York Rites, and now the Shrine, I just about am on the run night and day. 
With that said, great post brother Double and brother Brent. Such dedication to the craft warrants the SOP. As such:

Well done fellows

Retired. Semiretired. Working too hard. Unemployed. Poor. Rich

i beed a bvllshit meter to parse your posts

all's fair on the internet i guess.
