Anyone here use them?
I just got the 50mm sausage kit.

Nope, thought about it though once but seemed a little expensive....but I'm a cheap arse
I've used them for dry aging some ribeyes both boneless and bone in. Currently doing a capicola and it's 2 oz's away from my target weight. They work as advertised.

I've made two batches of soppressata using Umai bags. Turned out pretty good but I wasn't getting much drying action in my home refrigerator. Took them to work and put them in one of our walk-ins that has a lot better airflow and reached my target weight loss within three weeks
I used them on a NY Strip and a Boneless Ribeye.
They work great if you do not have a proper dry age setup at your home.

I see people in my sausage user groups on FB use them quite often with success.

I've used them for steaks, they work as advertised. Simple and easy.

I made two batches of bresaola with them and they were wonderful. Down to weight in about 4-5 weeks. On the other hand I have two pieces of capicola that have been in the fridge for 8 weeks now and have only lost 27% weight and seem to have stalled there. Not sure what to do with those...may just have to open them and try

Use them for ribeye rolls and strip loins. They work well for steaks (45 day ribeye's are my favorite) assuming you have decent airflow.
I considered converting my spare fridge to a dry age setup, but then where would I put my beer?

Sounds like you need a bigger fridge :-P!
I've used them. Just finished a 45 day boneless ribeye. Outstanding flavor. Gonna put one in the sous vide when I get home tonight.

They are awesome. You should get into dry aging with them!
