    Best present I ever bought for myself was a vacuum packing kit

    Just buy one it will make processing meat way easier. Glad wrap is a good alternative to stop freezer burn.

    The other advantage of the vac pack is that as per another thread...some of us make up casseroles etc plus or minus the liquid then vacpac it freeze it and then unzip it when needed and slow cook it.
    A little prep...lots of easy winter meals.
    Besides....venison doesn't last 7 weeks at my place...lol

    I’m giving wet aging a go at the moment with couple stags I shot recently, tried some back steak the other night at 12days and it wasn’t gamey at all.

    Yeah I’ve decided to pick up a vacuum sealer. Anyone got opinions on affordable value-for-money brands? I’ve already broken down my deer into packable cuts.

    I found this study. A bit wordy but the main take home message is that even on meat intentionally inoculated with the botulinum spores, meat still had no neurotoxin after 25 to 50 days storage in vacuum sealed packs. Safe days differs between meat types. Beef safest. Should overall be ok.

    Great work . Have been wanting to set up a chiller based on my old job in a beef slaughter house looking after the chillers. The animal 2 sides at -2C with garden irrigation fine spray every hour for 5mins .We did it for 12 hours . My understanding is it draws the moister out .Result a crust on the beast then further chilling for prime meat. One day lol I have the meat rail.
