Temperature resistant to 212 degrees? Food Grade?
Let us know how it works out!!
Where is the best place to buy the ones made for biab?
That is 24" across when flat, or 24" diameter?
I ask because my pot is wider and shorter than a keggle. I already made a nice bag for mine, but I'd sure love to have some cheap spares.
Just wanted to express my complete and total amazement that someone who paid $35
How would the Paint Strainer bag, or the BBB bag work if the grain was crushed finer than normal? Using BIAB, a stuck sparge is not a consideration, so there is some advantage to a tighter crush.
But would this fall through the bag?
I went to BBB (Bed Bath Beyond) to look at the bag.
1. It doesn't say what the material is. How do you know its Nylon or Polyester?
2. Its made in China so I am concerned its not safe to use in my mash tun. Maybe if its washed a few times it will be.
3. It appears to be fine mesh, which I assume is good, though water may take a while slowing through the material.
They also have a cotton laundry bag for $1 more. ($8 I think)
Its 24' x 36'.
A 24" bag fits a 15" diameter brewpot.
Any problems with that?
Will the cotton shrink much? 10%?
If it does shrink a lot the bag might not fit.
Cotton promotes growth (mold, bacteria, etc), don't use it.
daksin said:Also, I occasionally direct-fire my BIAB for a step mash or some other reason just by heating up the BK and holding the bag slightly off the bottom. This works fine for me, but all the extra material and hanging strings makes this a more complicated proposition.
Can you try rolling the bag down so its less long? Might help.
I would say it will probably fit. It's a fair bit wider than my 7.5 gallon pot and about twice as tall.
