Today is all about Dry Aged vs Wet Aged, the differences, and how the steaks look when they're grilled. This isn't something to try at home, we have a commercial dry age room. There are some products available for home use but we can't recommend them specifically and this isn't specifically about how to dry age beef. This is something that can be unsafe if done incorrectly. The difference is simply that dry aged is refrigerated under controlled conditions left open, and wet aged is the same but the beef is vacuum sealed. Any time you buy a vacuum sealed bag of beef, it's wet aged.
6:02 - Beef dry ages the best, the fat in other meats like pork are more likely to turn rancid. Dry aged beef also needs to have some fat to avoid excessive evaporation losses.
11:36 - How long can you wet age beef and how long can you wet age beef? Here is dry aged and wet aged beef side by side in the cooler for 6 weeks!
You may find that dry aged steaks cost more, it's because there is yield loss. Nearly a pound in the steaks in our video.
17:46 - Wet aged steaks vs dry aged steaks cookoff and taste test at 22:40!
We used our very own butter blend as a base with black blend on top:

This is in fact the very first time we've done more than one flavor on one steak!

I miss my time back in my home country Sweden 20-35 years ago and I got,1/2 pigs,1/2 beef, whole lambs, wild bore,1/2 veal, and in the fall Moose then it was butchering and it was in a regular Grocery store. When i moved here to The USA 21 years ago,it is just slicing meat but now I`m to old to worry just hanging into retirement. I`m 57 done this business for 37 years. Love your vids and am happy to see you all so happy and proud of what you doing. Don`t see that nowadays..Happy Thanksgiving to the Bearded Butchers Family.

@Tim M just 25.000? i was hoping for more than that😢
@Tim M yup. Now he owes a public apology to all the vegetarian people watching this salivating. 😂
Bearded Butchers, has given me the confidents with all my butchery skills. I am fascinated with the meat trade and you guys do a great job walking individuals through the butchering process.
God Bless America!!!

You doing butchering? Can you share a little bit about what you're doing? I've cut meat before but new to the art of breaking down a whole cow.
It’s amazing how you visually see a home grown butcher break down special parts of meat and very knowledgeable about the product.. here in Chicago I’ve rarely seen nor hear anything from a butcher’s personal Pandora’s box so big shot out from Chicago
I oftened wondered about the two. An expensive restaurant usually dry ages their beef and charge huge prices. I really like the way that you guys explain and show the finished product. Great Job once again.

I am I Falls Church Virgnia I am dining this dream tonite , !!!!
Guys, I appreciate your knowledge and your willingness to share it. I work for a 98 year old, family owned, smoked meat and sausage making company in Southern Oregon. We also sell fresh beef, pork, chicken and fish; but only the very end of the cutting process. (I'm a musician at heart, so cutting meat actually pays the bills). To see everything in context, where it comes from, how it's processed all the way down to me has been invaluable. Thank you for this side project. Your knowledge and generosity are being multiplied. God bless you all, and fist bump on your success!
I really like this comparison between wet and dry aged but to be totally unbiased I wish you'd do a blind taste test with a few other people. I know everyone has their own preferences but I'd be interested in seeing some outsider reactions.
Can't wait to try this Myself with several cuts of steak!!
You guys are true educators. You just explained to me everything to know about dry aged versus wet aged. I have occasionally splurged for dry aged beef at specialty restaurants and I've always understood how shrinkage and trimming loss makes it more expensive. I love your videos and keep making them Bros 😁
Happy to help!
At the meat shop I work at, we butter age American Wagyu. We let it sit in the cooler for 60 days before we bring it out for sale. The butter helps keeps the moisture in, and give the beef a delicious, buttery soft flavor.
I have dry aged deer of all kinds many times. It totally changes the way it tastes! Turns venison from slightly gamey to really beefy! 👍
how long do you dry age venison?
@@bloomer3638 I have aged it up to 21-28 days but your cooler got to be very cold for that, like 35-38 degrees. I would recommend leaving it on the bone and giving it at least 14 days. You will lose some meat due to the drying process but what’s underneath is excellent. I take the tenderloins out and leave the back straps on the backbone and age that way…. Would be same difference for a hind quarter though. 👍
When I dry aged my deer few years ago it made it more gamey it was a mule deer .I aged for 20 days in my moms walk in freezer..normally I just vac it and wrap it in butcher paper then freeze it down .il have try it again. 14 days ?
@@inmotion81 I would try that. Make sure the temp is plenty cold. Also I would make sure that there isn’t anything else in the cooler, like chemical cleaners etc. Meat can absorb different odors. Idk, just thinking out loud. ✌️
I have aged my last two deer on ice in a cooler. 14 days for both. Last year was a big mature buck, i didn't age the tenderloins because i had always eaten those the same day, and they were super gamey. After i aged the rest of the deer you couldn't taste any gamey flavor at all. This year i agreed a doe, probably not as necessary but it will only increase the flavor.
It's funny how Scott always goes for the biggest piece when offered.
Reminds me of when I was a kid and my older brother always took the larger piece of whatever it is.
You don't ever let us see any Sean videos he is the backbone . Love to see the farm .I'm a farmer from Tennessee and there's a bunch of us .
God Bless the Bearded Butchers !
I've learned a lot from them. I've had the confidence to do a whole pig and big beef primals.

You guys are awesome. Thanks so much for breaking this down. I saw a video about Ruth's Chris recently about how they had gone to wet aged for consistency (and likely cost control). Dry aged sounds like it will continue to get more rare and be something you can get at either boutique butchers or boutique steakhouses, because of the additional cost. I noted that after you weighed out the two racks, you had to cut more off the dry aged to get rid of the discolored ends. So, that's even more loss. Dry aged sounds delicious, but for any operation doing volume, you've got to have customers willing to pay, I guess.
Just got home from Colorado, son in law took a 5X5 elk. We cut and packaged it after 4 days. Man I can’t wait to try these steaks with the Bearded Butcher Seasoning!! Thanks for a great video. Sorry I didn’t stop at the store on the way through Ohio back to Syracuse NY. Keep up the great videos!!!
I really like the educational aspects of these videos. I’m old enough to remember when the local butchers really knew their craft. Today, when I go to the supermarket the guy behind the meat counter doesn’t know a thing about what he’s selling. I wish I could find an old-fashioned Butcher shop. I wouldn’t even know where to look.
they're there. you just gotta look.
Yep they don't shit, I raise beef and Buffalo here in Lagrange texas, lots of Germans here and cattlemen, these guys are great as well
I remember when my dad was a butcher he would bring home dry aged steaks. They were phenomenal. I miss that taste of beef. Thanks guys!
If you aren't dry aging your deer, you are missing out. Clean out and sanitize your beer fridge in the garage. Yes, you will be fine for a week...put the larger cuts on racks and the smaller stuff in colanders with bowels underneath. Everyday, take a bowl out and clean off the silver skin/bad fat. By opening the door every night, you will create some airflow. after 5-6 days, you will have aged, cleaned, and meat has "drip dried." This will make the single, largest difference in your vension on tenderness and taste.
Huge approval for the bearded butchers. VERY informative work.
Thank you the Two of you you "ROCK" in my book. Showing the cut up. Then the two different "AGING" systems. Then to actually test the "COOKING" you make my mouth WATER. You two are Fantastic on showing the Difference. Man I wish I was closer to your Butcher place. Have to order your blends of seasoning.
Due to you guys my grilling has become very popular with family and friends, thank you Bearded Butchers.
Thanks to the Bearded butchers…I now own a Traeger Grill, and just received my Bearded Butcher blend seasoning (hot), and my bearded butcher beef bites in the mail today. I work at a local meat market inside a grocery store, and I love learning from you guys.
Something about giving a piece to the cameraman warms my heart, bros! Steaks looked great and now I know why the dry age process results in a more flavorful steak
Incredible that you worked a shift and then spent the time to do this for us. I appreciate your time and expertise. Well done.
I love the dry aging. First place the taste is quite different when you cut that meat it says "please eat me!". It also stay long since the meat creates a protective tissue. Secondly, it is so tender and easy to cut, cooked very well etc, The weight loss might matter a little for a market(which even could be recaptured with a small price to be added) but for a family it is not much. I am not sure how dry aged will react for seasoning. You guys should take a time to write a book based on your videos and photos. Love you boys! From the warm city of Addis Ababa in Ethiopia. 🇪🇹
My Dad was a butcher, he passed away in 2016, man, he would have loved to watch you guys! 👍👍
Best thing about you guys its that you are true family. Of all things that you do that is most inspiering. Best wishes from Croatia!!!
I process and wet age all my venison, and it comes out amazing. Started two years ago and will do that for ever.
The love of a Hometown Butcher taken the time to not only show us, but to explain start to finish. Then you finish it off by cooking. You all rock.
I want your job. The trouble with watching your videos is how hungry they make me! Thank you beard guys!
I've never even heard of wet aged steaks and only tried dry aged a couple of times in my life. Simple, to the point, explanation and straightforward test. Great video.
If you buy steaks in a store most are wet aged
Thank you fellas….very informative. I’m a hunter who ages in a converted 2 door SKOPE soda fridge in my shed. It works really well and with a red deer aged 10 days with hide off, the meat is tender and tasty. Some outer drying though and a bit of wastage.
Stumbled on this channel whilst searching for some grilling or smoking inf clicked the video, and step one was breaking down a cow. I told my son: " Best damned 'bbq' channel stumbled on yet". You guys are awesome. I've learned a bunch watching your videos. Thanks for all you do.
We're so happy you stumbled across our channel, thank you for watching! We appreciate your support.
I feel for you, such a tough job. 😁 It really is, though. After 11-12 hours of butchering our meat I can really feel it, but I absolutely love the experience, and I have a much greater appreciation of the food I eat.
Your channel is awesome. My passion is in butchering. I work in manufacturing. I help all of my family and friends with butchering, curing smoking, and jerky making!
Gotta be honest; my favorite part is the cook/taste/description. Knowledge comes in a very close 2nd. I've wowed friends and family numerous times based just on things I've specifically picked up with your techniques. Love this stuff, keep it up, and let freedom ring!
You’re weird
It's the slight jiggling of the camera when Spence is chewing happily that really brings this video together for me! LMFAO "You ready for another Spence?" You sir are lucky you still had a hand when you handed him that fork! #snacksforspence
Bahaha I need all the snacks!!
These guys are the best. Enjoy all there videos. Very professional!!!!!
Always a good day when Seth and Scott upload another great video!
Have not seen you guys since you stopped processing venison. Wow have you guys really grown as a business!! I was searching RUclips for processing venison and found you guys. Your store looks amazing along with the brand you have built Bearded Butchers. Your videos are awesome, what a great success story!! Keep it up guys, very impressive!! Bear
I never would have imagined getting into watching a couple of guys butcher meat, but the Bearded Butchers have made this very entertaining and educational at the same time. Got into these vids in April 2020 during the shutdown with nothing to do. Thanks guys!
Loved you Boys enthusiasm, your energy and your understanding of 'Dry Aging' over Wet Aging, and, basically, the way that you both enjoy giving others the benefit of your labors. Thank you!
Thanks for watching, we appreciate it!
I've not had aged ribeye ever but, it is; however, my favorite cut. This looks amazing, I know I would love it.
Still waiting on that elk hunt. I'm super excited to see that one. Great information on this video. Thanks for sharing.
I really appreciate the sacrifice you made to sample and quality check your work! 😎👍🍽️
Thanks!! 👍

My nephew hangs deer in a walk in for ten days, at least.
What are the cons of leaving the skin on verses skin off?
I really liked this episode and the way you explained the processes will definitely change the way I shop my meat. I hope this to not going to be a dumb question, but seeing the incredible transformation of the dry aged meat peaks my curiosity to understand more. My dad was a butcher and he wrapped beef in layers of cheese cloth which seemed to lessen the amount of air penetrating into the ends for better yield. Have you ever tried wrapping the portions to be aged in cheese cloth in the past? Also have you tried wet aging the portions for 45 days, remove them from the bags, to then dry aging portions further? You could then get 60-75 day aged portions, but with far less moisture loss. My dad passed away a few years ago so I can't ask him if it would make a difference. I love your channel and I can't wait to see more from your channel.
Condolences to your father🖤
They are great brothers and says a lot about their father!!
I'm not even in America but man I love these videos. Every time I watch these videos I need to wear a bib to catch all my drool. I wish I could taste all those stuff you BBQ.
I have honestly LOVED every one of your videos. To my knowledge I have watched every single one that you have published for public viewing. I just want to thank you for that. Yours is the only channel that i can stay honest and say that! Thank you again!
p.s. i really enjoy dry aged venison personally. so i disagree with you as far as dry aging very lean meat. NOT saying you are wrong or anything. Simply a different opinion
You can do at home if you know what you're doing but you either need to have a small dedicated fridge for dry aging meat only with a fan to circulate the air or you can use your regular fridge if you use special aging bags that will allow air to escape but not enter in.
We just received the BB Blend Butter and Black seasonings. Trying tonight on a venison tenderloin and sous vide them and finish in cast iron! I cannot wait.😊
Awesome video. My 5 year old son is wanting to become a butcher now. Thank you for inspiring him
Love watching you guys. I watch you guys all the time. I always go back through your deer cutting videos every year ehn I cut up our deer for the year. My wife got her buck in the archery season this year, I didn't have any luck in archery season but I conected with a big body 2.5-3 year old buck on the Rifle season. I always get great pointers from you guys when putting up our vinisson every year.
Amazing seeing you guys doing what you're good at... Would love to see you guys butcher and cook a TUNA
You made me hungry and I’m sure glad you shared with the cameraman.
I do it in my fridge all the time, never had a problem it's awesome.
That's amazing
You guys are really under-rated you do awesome work 👏 and awesome camera work with the intros and I learn while being entertained. Keep up the good work 👏
You guys are not only good with your knives, but good with the chew as well!
Can't say enough about the skill & knowledge of these guys. They make it look easy! I butchered a ram off one of their videos and let's just say the pause button was very well used😂; I just couldn't keep up. Thanks for the help! Keep up the good work!
Such an honor to hear such praises from a fellow butcher! Thank you!
I love watching Scotts hand when he tastes anything 🤌🏻🤌🏻
Thanks to you guys everybody at work comes to me for questions about meat
Could you guys do a video on what wet and dry aged beef should smell like and how to tell if your beef is rotten or safe to eat. I was given a strip loin that was cryovacced and when I opened it WOW! It about knocked me over because it had such a funky smell.
In Oregon hoping to stop by this spring on our way to Boston... much Love from Oregon.
Thank you for increasing my knowledge, God bless and have a great Thanksgiving
Weather permitting, I let my deer hang for 21 days. Not sure why i picked 21 days but it works. Also, i build houses for a living, and have never seen one that had a full kichen while still in the framing. LOL
We home slaughter, dry age in a coolroom for 28-30 days then cut'n pack (2 yr old steers). Dry trims just go in the ground meat. Very nice
first time I noticed the beard nets - I need one of them!!!
I think dry aged is great as long as they don't over do it with that 3 month 6 month stuff, it starts tasting weird at that point. Great video as always, and educational, thank you guys and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
That depends on the cut, what the cow has ate, the type of marbling, etc etc. a friend butchered an 8year old bull and almost every cut was dry aged for 8 months. Tasted amazing. But it was a feed for a year for this purpose.
I agree, 6 months starts tasting a bit dodgy.😊
Thanks guys, I’ve got to try you all’s seasonings.
Doing a wet age experiment now with Elk. One of them is a pack of two back strap steaks in vac sealed bags. Hoping they come out well. Have large portions aging too but as its just the wife and I it would be great if I could do a cple at a time. See what happens in 25 days.
Can't wait to pull in one day while you guys are cooking.
Growing up in the 60s, my Dad would hang a Beef basically until we used it up, and I prefer hanging a Deer as long as possible and it’s always been in a natural environment in an out Building and the temperature fluctuations never hurts it and the longer it hangs, the more tender and tasty it is!! It freezes and thaws naturally in the Winter the same way it did years ago before indoor refrigeration
I have compared butcher dry aged (45 days) vs home in my not mentioned product (45 days) the not mentioned product prevents fridge flavor absorption.
they are comparable in flavor and tenderness. I don’t think wet aged enhances flavor as much. great video as usual gentlemen.
edit remarks.. being recently band from using sodium, I am happy to see the blackened blend has a sodium level my Dr and wife will allow….
Wish you guys were closer to me so I could bring my cows 🐄 to you for butcher. Love watching 👀 all the different ways of aging. You made me get some steak out for Thanksgiving dinner
The black is the best out of what I have tried so far. The Hollywood blend is really good too. Last Thanksgiving I used the Black as the rub for my smoked turkey on my Pit Boss smoker and everyone including myself loved. Doing the same thing again this year since I have the bucket of Black to still go through. I have used the Black and Hollywood and not been disappointed at all. By the way Guga Foods on RUclips uses a special bag that allows you to dry age in your home refrigerator but not sure if it would absorb other flavors from other things in your refrigerator or not. I would imagine the dry age has to have a stronger beef flavor.
The bags are called umai dry aging bags they allow moisture to escape but keep anything from going in. Kind of pricey but worth it if you love dry aged beef I get mine on Amazon.
I used to butcher meat when I was younger I like when way you guys do it
Very cool! Would've loved to hear more about your days!
I love watching you guys work, we all pick up great tips and methods you use. Thank you for all the videos
Now for this episode. I am going to try mixing the spices. Sound like a good way to go.
Blessed Thanksgiving to you both, and to your families.
Awesome vid. Watching the butchering process you guys share with us has really helped connect more to different types of cuts. I wish we had more careers that are an art form such as you guys show with butchering.
Great to hear, Tyler!
Oh my goodness!!! I was intensely watching this, when you opened the green egg, I can literally smell it!!
And when you were describing taste and texture, I can taste it!! Only problem was my belly was still grumbling 🙄😒😝
Yet another good day of education. Well done, gentlemen. Again.
On a nice fat beef like that we used to recommend a dry age (in the cooler) for 21 to 30 days for our custom slaughter place, usually was great, but we have done longer at the customers request....like you mentioned, as long as there is enough fat on the carcass.
*The Bearded Butchers* Bravo well done, thanks fellas for taking the time to make this giveaway possible. God Bless.
I’m jealous. Watching y’all butcher beef kills me. All those cuts. Great video, I really enjoyed it. Thanks fellas
Man I’ve always wanted a treager after watching you guys cook in them and seeing how good the food looks I hope I get lucky to win one to try your guys recipes they look so mouthwatering. Love the videos love what you guys are doing and hope to try your recipes one day.
Man - these guys are always on point. I'm always learning from these guys. Always providing great content.
Much appreciated, Moe!
Enjoy watching people doing things that they love. Keep up the great work guys. FYI my beautiful Memphis smoker/grill is on its last legs getting repaired hopefully by a student at my HS. This principal would sincerely appreciate an upgrade in your giveaway. Happy holidays!
Big fan from down under….keep up the great vids. Cheers guys
Thanks, will do!
You fellas are the best! Great video as always!!!
I really appreciate this video and comparison
taste test should be without any seasoning.
By far has to be my favorite video yet
That's awesome! Which one do you prefer, wet-aged or dry-aged?
@@TheBeardedButchers never tried any of them but I’m down to try it
I’ve used the dry age bags at home for 6 years. It comes out fantastic. I’ll be aging my Christmas roast Monday.
sous vide
Here in the UK I came relatively late to the joys of dry aged beef, but now it is my go to style, no doubt about it.
Like all your great videos .
How about the old timers who had the old shed out back, where the old farmer salted down types of meat , most bone out. They used the salt liberally.It would be laid upon shelves during the fall of the year ? Great taste but not good for the blood pressure. Thanks.
when you put them on the shelf...i was waiting for the spongebob ....28 days later.....lol
EPIC!!! it is ...loaded with killer awesomeness.... dried aged is what we prefer here in South Africa too 🤙
I have been wet aging with a vacuum packer for quite a few years. Tough to get properly aged beef as even butcher shops don't seem to want to take the time to hang them long enough. They even market bright red fresh meat as the gold standard and yet you can see how dark that aged ribeye was.
It also allows you to buy cheaper cuts and get similar tenderness to more expensive steaks. I prefer top sirloin cut to 1 1/4" Vacuumed wrapped and placed into the bottom cold part of the fridge. I leave them for 10 days and then freeze them. That way the ageing is down when you want a steak and you just need to thaw them.
It is impossible to dry age meat in a fridge nowadays as they are frost free and will suck too much moisture out and dry them out. They mentioned 87% humidity and a frost free fridge will run 30% to 40%. Freezer no different, reason why ice cubes shrink.
I have many BBQ's and smokers but have found I only use my pellet grill now. It works like a gas BBQ but better. Set the temp for 400f and they hold it within 20F. Fires up to temp in 10 minutes without worry about charcoal and still gives a wonderful smoke flavour to everything.
Thank you, guys, for your videos. I no longer have to feed my dog my wife's crockpot roast. It is delicious with the bone.
Started watching these videos about six weeks ago. These guys had me go from good meat to great meat. I am cooking off some grass fed, grain fed, and bison (E3, Greensbury) off their recommendations. Today I was looking for info on wet and dry age online and who pops up? BB! After that, I knew I had to sub, love this channel.
I've had it both ways and you guys are right dry-age so much betterproportionately for me I live close to a processor so once in awhile I get lucky
My husband age is his venison with the ice/cooler method! For 7 days takes out the wild taste and tenderizes the meat at the same time🙂
