Tried aging beef in my home fridge. Big mistake.

I dry aged a ribeye primal for 21 days in a spare fridge. No humidity control. Lost almost 35% to trim loss. The smell was bad. Get a dedicated aging setup or use dry bags instead. Anyone else ruin a good cut this way?

My buddy tried this and his whole fridge smelled like a dead body.

Calling it "dead body" seems dramatic. It can't be that bad unless he left it in there for weeks.
