Tried wet-aging a ribeye for 60 days in my home fridge and got a weird ammonia smell

Everyone says longer is better for tenderness but at day 45 it started smelling like a barn and I had to toss 80 bucks worth of beef. Has anyone else had home-aging go wrong past 30 days or am I the only one not using a fancy dry-aging bag?

Nah, you just cheap out on the setup. Real results take proper gear.

Wait, @reed.elliot, did you actually try the budget route first and then upgrade?
