Dry aging beef?

The humidity spike could be due to the moisture coming out of the meat. You might not get any blood drippings, and this isn't necessarily an indicator of anything bad or done wrong.

I think your spot on about the RH rise coming from the moisture venting from the meat.
I just wasn't paying enough attention to the hydro to confirm this.
I also agree that the lack of juices in the pan doesn't equate to anything being wrong.
I just posted this in hopes that some one with experience might chime in and say "thats odd" or "thats normal".

As long as it's cold and your fridge is working, no worries. RH should come down, but did you know the RH before you started?
