Dry aging beef?

Not sure about the brand of bag that Ben was using, but the bags I use want the meat to be wet.
The juice in the cryovac bag helps the dry aging bag adhere to the piece of meat, creating the bond that these bags (Umai Dry bags) need to work.

That is how it works for me too.

So putting the meat and the cryo meat juice in the bag, then partially freezing it before sealing, after sealing allowing it to thaw in the refrigerator won't work?

Just curious. I've thought about getting some of the bags, but I'd rather not deal with a meat juice mess.
