Umai bag question
I've had some Umai bags for a year that a friend sent me. I have a new vacuum sealer from Christmas. I'm dying to dry age some beef. Question is, does it stink up a fridge at all? My woman would make me buy a garage fridge if it emits an odor. While that would be cool, I think about the utility bill during the summer.

Not terribly much. A little bit of an odor and that was in my dedicated beer fridge which never held anything but cans and bottles. But I guess it could also depend on how long you left it in to age. Never could wait more than 28 days. The primal cuts take up a heck of a lot of real estate though.

I would just tell your woman it makes a smell even though there is not much of one, that way you're greenlighted for a garage meat fridge

I've noticed no odor with 30 to 60 day dry aging.
I place the slab on a rack with foil ball "feet" underneath, to let the air circulate around the meat. http://cowgirlscountry.blogspot.com/...ed-ribeye.html I like to cut into steaks before trimming the edges. 45 day dry age is my favorite.

My vacuum sealer is an inexpensive one. It doesn't always remove as much air as I'd like. After sealing, I place the whole bag into a woman's stocking. It helps the bag adhere to the meat. I remove the stocking after the first week.

Did a bone in ribeye for 39 days (Christmas arrived and I started late). No smell. If it smells, something went wrong.
Only concern is if using main fridge, that's a lot of opening and closing. I'd watch temp, personally. I used hockey pucks to lift the grate.

You don't have a garage fridge?? The extra electric is not much. I used to have 2 garage fridges and a freezer. Down to just one fridge and the freezer as I wasn't always needing the 3rd fridge. Sometimes around holiday's and event I sure do miss that 3rd fridge

Smart move, but I think I've said that before!

Umai encourages opening and closing the fridge for air flow.

Just ordered some of these bags to do a ribeye. Is there a certain temp i need to keep my fridge? Going to do a 45 day age.
Also, do you need to cut the "bark" off when done? Would resealing and freezing each steak lower the quality?
