You can reduce the mold loss by wiping the exterior of the meat with a vinegar soaked towel. With elk, you’ll obviously have it skinned. If you do this with whitetails or mule deer, leave the skin on and you’ll reduce the amount of surface loss (dry/mold). Great job
So great, we are raising grass fed beef on our “lifestead” farm n North Central Idaho, plan to process our first one spring 23. Can’t wait to reproduce your idea. Pack goats are in our near future.
Love it! My brother, Dad and I own and operate a spray foam business (7c insulation LLC) here in sw mo and we just built a 5x14 walk in cooler in our butcher shop that we plan to open very soon for custom cuts. Very cool to see other people doing the same stuff, we are new to goats but currently have a few Nigerians for milk and have a small herd of kiko/boer meat goats and plan to raise and process the goat meat our selves from here on out. Love your videos brother keep ‘em coming!
Speaking on philosophy. It's serendipitous to see your shirt. I too believe music is medicine. Particularly the creation of it. I picked up an electric guitar about 8 years ago for the first time. I'm 44 now. It's opened a side of my personality I wasn't aware of prior to beginning to play. I don't know if my experience is somewhat parallel to yours, but it's very interesting to see. Thank you for sharing this method. I've always been intrigued myself. Good stuff Marc.
First off, you gotta start posting at regular hours man. You're gonna net yourself more viewers when you post when people can watch. And second, I had a similar idea too!! I'm currently making a little ice chest to put in my bedroom by reusing the body of fridge that I pulled from a wrecked camper. For me, it'll just be a mini fridge that runs off frozen water bottles.
Great Video! Wish I could make the live event. Curious what you did on the floor? You can use the plastic sheeting (like a tub surround but it comes in flat sheets, check with industrial places that do commercial food equipment/supply in your area) on the inside to make it much easier to clean and even more waterproof and durable. We need that because we go straight from the hoof to a hook (whole or quarter, depending on species) and have drippage. Small family Abattoir/Butcher so we also have to conform to CFIA and local Heath Department requirements. And the mold is related to penicillins, but not quite the same as the one used as an antibiotic. Huge difference when you can dry age especially with game. Never seen a walk in done well before with an AC unit… Great DIY! Could easily be used for longer curing meats as well… prosciutto, dry cure sausages like salamis… especially if you can fine tune that humidity. A good vertical Sausage Stuffer to go with that grinder would be nice.
That aged exterior is called Pellicle, and it makes awesome dog treats. Put it in the dehydrator for about 5 - 6 hrs and viola homemade organic doggy treats
This information was exactly why I checked the comments. Thank you. I was also curious if chickens could benefit from it, but that's another topic for another day. Can't see why not. Thank you again.
I found your videos for the purpose of building my own walk in ager.. I like this as it is exactly what I'm looking to build. We, me my wife and three boys raise German Shepherds,who also benefit from the venison we harvest. But I have to build bigger because of the size of our household. Do you have any other material on the control set up, so I can work out the details for myself. I am big on DIY Thank you, love the videos..!
Hello forgive me l lost you about 3 years ago...l used to see your videos about some goats you make them carry luggage ....l am from Kenya.(East Africa Country ).you are still working out ...l like your triceps extension muscle..... good day ( it's Sunday 27 November 2022 in Nairobi Kenya.).l love your goats.the black and white goat that you put on mountain and carry luggage... forgive me... English is my second language.
I believe so but I haven't done the research about that specifically. You'd have to research that and know by the video posted here the parameters with temp, air flow and humidity we produced.

Love all your videos! You are a very thorough teacher. Thank you
What a great video, really interesting and helpful

Thanks for sharing .... I am planning on doing cold box this spring. It helps seeing how you did it!!
So cool! Great tips.

Thats all well and good to power these systems at 16.50 cents a kwh, here in the UK its 3 times that.
Great Video! Wish I could make the live event.

Glad you’re back 😀
Your insulation would be R35, 6 inches of fiberglass is R30 and 1 inch of foam is R5.
R 30 bats are 9 inch thick. I just built one of these with 2x6 walls and could only fit r21 in the walls
Hello, is this set adequate for dry aging hams, sausages, salami’s etc? Or can it be modified to do so? Thanks and God bless!!
I believe so but I haven't done the research about that specifically. You'd have to research that and know by the video posted here the parameters with temp, air flow and humidity we produced.
How do you keep the humidity where you want it
The humidity stayed naturally good because the air conditioning is a natural dehumidifier
With the temp hack, are there issues with the evap coil freezing up?
No we didn’t have that issue.
we read about that being a potential problem but we did not have that
Not if you stay above freezing
Electric costs? Are you going to insulate the door?
Agree would be a huge benefit…
