Anyone have any experience with the Umai dry sausage kits? Looks like you take the plastic tubing, vacuum seal one end, stuff with spices/curing agent/culture, and twist tie the top. The sausage is refrigerated and once it loses a certain % of weight it is ready. Just wondering if anyone has tried it and how it worked out? A couple of the reviews slammed the product but then again you question if people actually followed the way it is supposed to be done. Any input is appreciated. Thanks

I've only used their dry-aging bags so far, and I have been very happy with them. Suggest you head over to their forum. Lots of users interacting on their experiences. I think you'll get good idea of how they work out. https://www.drybagsteak.com/forum

I haven't had any experience with their sausage product, but their capicola product worked very well for me. I believe the dry age steak bags work the same as the capicola bags, and yes you need a vacuum sealer for those bags.

This is awesome gmascolo51. I’ll be following, as this is the next thing I’d like to do. I’ve dry aged for steaks a few times, just haven’t made it to this point yet.

Thanks for the link to the forum and the pix of your steaks EdF. I’m doing a #14 ribeye now and taking pictures along the way. Thought I would do a step by step, seems there are lots of folks here with interest/questions.
Unfortunately I don’t have Umai sausage bag experience, but your’s look great gmascolo51

So I weighed a sausage and it lost its 30-40% of original weight and curiosity got the better of me so I couldn't resist and cut one open. Came out delicious, meat is firm on the outside and soft and non chewy inside, flavor is spot on. Attached is a photo, it received approval from my little one she ate 5 pieces already!
