MemberHi Ron,
It’s been awhile but I’ve been monitoring the site daily. I’ve gotten a hold of a couple of Snake River Farms Wagyu prime rib roasts (7lbs each) which have been wet aged (argh!) for 28 days. Can I dry age these the same as before? Each piece will go into separate bags of course. Should I go for 45 days, as I’ve done previously, or age for a shorter period? I’ve searched the site but haven’t run across any posts on Wagyu. BTW Snake River Farms had a two for one sale today and you know me, its just so hard walk away from a good deal.

MemberGood hearing from you Doc! You’ve been MIA for so long I wondered if you were Ok!
I keep hearing the Snake River brand mentioned elsewhere so I’m going look in to it! This apparently isn’t your first buy from them so I assume you are a satisfied customer. As for aging these 28 day wet aged I personally would go 45 days Dry Aging them for melt in your mouth beef goodness. Keep us posted and check in from time to time!

MemberRon, Thanks for your concern but I’ve been spending a lot of time in Uruguay and Hawaii. I haven’t ordered from SRF before, but this was a deal I couldn’t pass up. When its delivered I’ll post a picture and together we’ll decide if it can be dry bagged. I’m not sure because the pictures show a lot of trimming which doesn’t leave much of a fat cap. So we’ll see on Thursday or Friday.

MemberRon,
Photos disappeared because I moved photos to a folder after I had posted. Hopefully these will remain intact.

MemberRon,
Well I couldn’t wait the additional two days, but I think this will be a keeper. This right out of the Umai bag at 43 days.This after is after I steaked them out. Interesting note, traditional Kobe’s fat will melt in your hand with just your body heat. I accidentally dropped a little of the timing and held it in my hand for a few moments. The trimming actually became soft and very pliant much like traditional Kobe. Snake River Farms is Kobe bred with Angus. I think that this will definitely be a keeper. I will try the very end piece and another 28-day wet aged piece to compare. I will sous vide, at 125 for maybe 90 minutes, place on the BGE for a couple minutes on each side to sear. Pictures to follow.
BTW, I have a whole Prime Rib Eye dry aging as we speak and I just received another Wagyu Prime Rib today. Think I’m gonna’ od on beef this summer.
Doc

MemberThanks, Doc! Guess I must have missed your phone invitation to enjoy one of those today when our electricity was off for 2 hours! I suppose you gave mine to some deserving neighbor instead…LOL
