For more information, please visit Dry Aged Fridge Supplier.
There are also some professional-grade dry aging machines on the market that are not coldplate models that you can find from Cabela’s and a few places like that but they are grossly expensive and you can build the identical thing for less than half. They are basically built out of A commercial quality fridge.
True GDM is a great line to look into if you want to find a forced fan evaporator type refrigerator to construct a dry aging machine yourself. Other companies that make this type are Beverage air, Habco, Hussman, Idw, Max cold, Summit, Frugal, qbd, and Traulsen.
You can also use any chest freezer with an inkbird, this will hold the best temp of all and you can find them used for dirt cheap but you can’t see your meat 😜 but according to Mr.Freeze (our resident cooling specialist), a chest freezer is a great option.
One thing you do you want to watch out for is condensation on the lid, you don’t want any water droplets dropping on your sub-primal when you open and close the door because you’re exposing the sub-primal to more bacteria. You can also make a coldplate model work, it will just take a little bit of tinkering, definitely a fan on the plate is needed and then you are going to need to tackle humidity because they run dryer then you want.
Lastly, Dry aging in your main kitchen refrigerator is far from ideal do you to opening and closing the door, as well as possible contamination. Get yourself a dedicated system.
