Read this link and make up your own mind. I went down this road as well. http://blog.golbsalt.com/2012/09/07/umai-dry-bag-is-it-really-dry-aging/
Then check out this article, which I think is the best around. http://www.seriouseats.com/2013/03/the-food-lab-complete-guide-to-dry-aging-beef-at-home.html

I've been looking into doing this. I'm a rookie at it but from what I've read a mini fridge will not work. It needs to be at least a standard size fridge that has adequate circulation to keep air moving around the meat. :dont:

I read that as well, but I don't remember where. Proper temp and air circulation are the most important items.
