Thanks a lot for your reply!!
I greatly appreciate it.
My late reply is due to time zone, as I am in Germany.
Unfortunately, for some reason my last post didn’t go through.
I did an experiment to see if it was my meat off gassing (very interesting suggestion) or if it was a hole in my bag.
As I re-sealed the bag, air instantly came back in. I found the culprit. Multiple holes where the other extremity of the bones meet the rack.
I taped it and re-sealed. It’s still leaking.
Should I consider re-bagging it as I’m on day 10?
My meat looks good and doesn’t have any foul smell but air leakage could be a long term problem.
My fridge is latest generation with a stable temperature between 1C and 2C (33.8F and 35.6F) and my first try, 45 days bone in ribeye worked as a charm.
Thanks a billion for the help.
Vielen Dank aus Berlin.
Anja.
