Start of a 35 Day, Dry Aged Rib Roast from Costco.

Fiends who live in Gilmer, TX are A&M fans. They have invited the 2 of us along with about 7 other of his and her HS friends with spouses to come and watch the A&M Bama game October 7. Gonna provide Lunch and Dinner for Friday.

So, we will have Sliced & Chopped brisket and pulled pork, Sliders and Buns. Along with some Texas Hot Gut Sausage I am gonna make a Taco Salad and Kristin's Lemon Bars for Friday lunch. Dinner will be Aged Rib Roast, Wild Grilled Salmon, pilaf, baked potato, green salad and a Dessert I can't recall right now.

Will keep you update in this thread on how the Roast is Aging! Gonna go 35 days! No Prime at Costco, that was bummer, but I think Aging will make this a winner!

After trimming off the silver skin, just under 17lbs. USDA Choice. Will go 35 days. I went back and studied my Dry Aging data and decided since I now have a Salami/Drying Chamber fridge I would go 38° and 70% Relative Humidity! I will use very slow forced air, and I bought the little device next to the fan. An Inkbird Hydrometer. It is a pretty cool little device, wi-fi enabled.

I have not Aged one in several years and forgot how much change there is in appearance just 24 hours!

This is 8 Days in. You can start to see the outer Desiccation. It has probably lost 5-6% of it overall starting moisture!

Starting Week 3, I guess technically this is day 15.

Day 21/Start of Week 4

Day 29/Week 5.
