Reply to "Wet Aging Prime Rib"

padrefan98Member

Went to my butcher this weekend. I told him I would like to wet age my prime rib for Christmas the day before Thanksgiving. He said that was a mistake because the kill date on his Prime Rib roasts are already 4 weeks old when he receives them. He said that adding another 4 weeks in the cryovac would be a mistake. He claims to have been doing "this" for a long time and never heard anyone of aging beef that long in the cryovac. I decided to reserve the Prime rib for delivery on the weekend before Christmas. Any thoughts on his comments?
