Has anyone used the UMAI drybagsteak bond? it is a vacuum sealing system that uses a special bag to dry age beef. the bag allows moisture to permeate out while blocking oxygen and off-flavors.

do a search here for "dry aging" and find a discussion about the bags.
thanks TN Q this forum gives pros and cons of all subjects presented and than it up to the individual to decide. I love dry aged steaks and think i will give it a try. I have an independent refrigerator right next to my extra beer refrigerator so i can maintain low temp without opening and shutting the door on a regular basis.

Yep. We'll be happy to give you all sorts of advice, but in the end... What's right for me, might not be right for you.

One thing to keep in mind when dry aging beef is the humidity of your cooler. Ideally, it wants to be 55-60%.
I use Dry Bags. They work very well but...the vacuum sealer they supply you with is a bit of a nightmare to use. Ask for LOTS of practice bags. It can be very frustrating but if you get a good seal you will be rewarded in a few weeks time.
