I'd want to minimize the weight loss as much as possible, so sticking with a single piece would be ideal. I'm not 100% married to the idea of having full length ribs but I'd love to do tomahawk steaks as well. Yes, I'm going to see if I can work out a way to hang the steaks also.
BUT, if that all doesn't work out, I have been checking out the Whynter. Here's the one I was looking at:
https://www.amazon.com/Whynter-BR-130SB-Beverage-Refrigerator-Stainless/dp/B00P7QI4IM/ref=pd_ybh_a_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=T8A6ZCRZ60YF21A5PN9V
I like that it has built-in circulation but how effective have you found that fan? Did you have to supplement it with a second fan and if so, how'd you do the wiring?
Going for 21 day on my first. I have some aged already from a local butcher, so I have a taste to compare it to.
&#x200B;
For temp / humidity I am using this thermometer, so far its been working well.

As far as the fridge setup, I didn't do anything special. I let it sit for about 2 weeks to make sure the temp holds and what setting it needs to be at. There isn't a fan to cycle in it, so I bought a small desk fan. I didn't have to cut a notch out of the side, it locks closed well enough. I back that up with using a strap around it just to be sure.
&#x200B;
Hoping it turns out well! Aldi's had this bone in ribeye on sale.. So I figured it would be best to try it on something cheaper before moving to a bigger cut.
The one that Umai recommends is just a FoodSaver brand. It's way overkill IMHO. I have a Gourmia brand vacuum sealer that was $70 (half the price) and has worked perfectly over the past 2.5 years for me. It's no-frills and only has one function: Vacuum & Seal. I sous-vide at least 3 times a week.
There are actually some FoodSaver brands that don't work with Umai bags. My neighbor has one of those deluxe models with all the bells and whistles. Problem is, it tries to be smart and can't detect the Umai bags because they are a bit thinner than normal bags, and it won't run.
Unfortunately it looks like Gourmia doesn't make vacuum sealers anymore, but I would take a took and see what your other options are.
Now if money isn't much of an issue, go for the FoodSaver brand, I'm sure it will work fine. But for the same money, you are better off going with the Vesta one.

I would say no. I am using a really nice setup with a beverage cooler. Cost me under $250 CAD total. I bought the fridge used. https://www.amazon.com/Frigidaire-FFBC4622QS22-Stainless-Beverage-Center/dp/B00OBVF21G
Bought a fan and humidity/ temp monitor. The fridge keeps humidity pretty well too. https://i.imgur.com/qlPcqoN.jpg
I have a dedicated fridge for dry aging. I use this fridge
https://www.amazon.com/Grindmaster-CTR3-75-Countertop-Merchandiser-Refrigerator/dp/B00M8YG3ZW
It stays below 40 and I added this fan for better air circulation.
https://www.amazon.com/OPOLAR-Operated-Rechargeable-Capacity-Hurricane/dp/B0749M96XT/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1536250984&amp;sr=8-1-spons&amp;pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&amp;keywords=9+inch+fan+usb&amp;psc=1
I unscrewed the base so the fan would fit inside. I hang the ribeye using stainless steel meat hooks.
UPDATE: On November 7th I added an temperature & humidity logging sensor (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DWMJKP5/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1_). It can export to an CSV. You can find the last export of the raw data in CSV here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1WH3USS3t79BpEgxJUGrjw8HDdDVz4-L9?usp=sharing
It's reading a high of ~35.5f and low of ~32f with 81% humidity down to 60%.
I've been taking photos of the progress and you can view the on-going progress here: https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipO04vEJR-ih-xKRgR0riYC-eZTiJJ-UONwMcxVvnauJlT91uLzqf1wa6D4AI36tuw?key=MHNQc25ha2pzZjRrbUR4bEtqVXdVWVhqaDZyaGh3

Thank you for the detailed response. For my first sealer I don’t mind going with an affordable machine. I’m looking at a Geryon product which is an amazon choice. Any thoughts on it?

There are models that you simply plug into the wall and then plug the fridge into them. Should work universally. Just set the fridge's internal thermostat a little colder than you want it, then set the external therm where you want it.
Here is a moderately priced one.

One of those bad boys set at 36F. I have the temp probe dangling above the fan slightly out of view in my image.
