Hadn't tried that, or any other at home dry age method. You did
mention that you don't have an additional refrigerator to use; the
instructions suggest it lay undisturbed for th entire ageing period.
That would be a tough task in any home fridge, with as much traffic as
they likely get.
Joe, you might get a small dormitory size fridge to be used for that
purpose. Check out Craiglist, or the warehouse clubs. Think of it as
your humidor for dinner.
Do let us know how it turns out, in any event.
