Switched my mind on dry aging after a mistake at the shop

I was trimming a ribeye last Tuesday and noticed this funky smell coming from our dry aging locker. Turned out the humidity sensor was off by 12% and we had been ruining about 40 pounds of prime beef over two weeks. Now I check that gauge with my own eyes every morning before I start breaking down anything. Any of you guys had a similar issue with your aging setup?

Yeah, that "ruining about 40 pounds of prime beef" part hit me right in the gut. I had a similar thing happen where my temp gauge decided to take a vacation and everything came out looking like a science experiment gone wrong. Now I've got a second thermometer in there just as a backup, and I still tap the glass every morning like I'm checking on a sick pet.

Well actually humidity gauges can drift way faster than you'd think...
