Can someone explain what the point of dry aging is?

Sure - 2 words taste and tenderness. You are typically removing 22 to 30% of the tasteless water in the meat cells thus concentrating the beefy taste! and then it naturally becomes more tender as it ages.Re-gasketing the USA one yard at a time -

Now I'm hungry!!! Looks great!!!!

The process is to put it in a clean fridge at a temp of 32-38. and really just let it sit in there, make sure the fridge has air circulating and have air able to get through the whole piece so have the meat on a grate or something where air flow can happen even on the bottom
there are a few threads on here that probably better explain the process but it really is pretty simple

It's not healthy to eat so much red meat, you need a more balanced diet with smoked cheese

No disrespect to anyone, but based just on observation that meat looks like it's hard as a rock. I suppose it's not right?Also, is there a limit to how long one can do this aging?I'm like a sponge in this thread.

I've gone as long as 100 days but the common consensus is about 75 is where you stop getting bang for your bucks. The meat does get firm/hard but when cooked it is tender as butter. A nutty sort of metallic flavor develops too. Best recommendation I've ever heard is to bite the bullet and buy a dry aged one from a good butcher and try it before you start doing your own. BTW the meat, without all that water, cooks very fast.r8rs4lf said:No disrespect to anyone, but based just on observation that meat looks like it's hard as a rock.

I'm sorry about that, but your location is going into your EXIF metadata in your pictures. Sort of my creepy way of telling you. I'm actually super far away from you in Cajun (expat Canadian) land.pantsypants said:
