Definition of wet aging WET AGING: Aging beef that has been vacuum packaged (sometimes referred to as âvacuum agingâ). Temperature and time conditions are the same as for dry aging, but because the product is in a vacuum package, humidity and airflow are not critical. Once the vacuum package is opened, however, any further aging is done under the same conditions as those of dry aging.
Wet Brain and Alcoholism. Wet brain is another way of describing a condition called Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome. This is a type of dementia that people going through end stage alcoholism might have to deal with. It is caused by a deficiency in vitamin B1 (thiamine). If wet brain is allowed to progress too far, it will not be possible to recover from it. Untreated Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome always leads to death.
