Fast Method to Dry Age
« on: June 30, 2018, 07:17:17 PM »
I have not gotten bit by the dry aging meat bug but Popular Science had an article that I thought might be of interest to you adventurous souls that like dry aging.

Very interesting... I have been experimenting more lately with fermented foods. They are very good for you. I've had my sourdough starter for years now. Recently started brewing my own kombucha, from my own home-grown scoby. Have used the Umai bags for dry-aging, but this is intriguing. I'll be adding the koji rice to my Amazon shopping list. Since you can't dry age individual steaks (only large primal cuts), this is definitely worth a try. Could be quite useful.

From my favorite Sous Vide youtube channel, on the koji rice. I think you are supposed to grind the rice into more of a powder, but since it's the fungus that affects the meat, it might not matter so much.
