Ron PrattGosh…one of the first things in the future is to check the aging meat very early on to see if the bag was tight against meat. Do that for the first week. OTOH you may have had a good seal at first but in aging a bone-in piece care needs to be taken that the bones don’t puncture the bag. Based on how you described the meat I would not be overly concerned but suggest you extract as much air as you can with as many hands as you have in the house OR insert a drinking straw in one hole and suck the air out. Then quickly seal with a bread twisty. Ron
