Allen,
It’s a personal taste and some people swear it takes 21 days to hit the sweet spot and others argue 28 days. My shortest aging so far was 21 days for a NY strip and longest 35 days. By far the 35 day was superior by comparison. Then for rib eye the shortest was 28 and longest was 60 days. The 28 was too short and only produced satisfactory results but no WOW factor. OTOH the 60 day was a stretch. All of my others have been 45 days. Again, it’s a personal thing but my best have been 35 for NY and 45 for rib eyes, thus those are my benchmarks. BTW percentage of weight loss (i.e. water loss) have been essentially identical whether 35, 45 or 60 days with all being 21% plus or minus a few tenths.
