So I forgot a grain bag

[AerationStation]

for steeping grains so my friend and I used a colander and some coffer filters. I thought I'd share so here's a picture of us draining it.

Necessity is the mother of invention. Nice save.

I've actually had to skip brewing when I was doing extract because I forgot a grain bag. Nice improvisation!

I've actually never used a grain bag in about 20 years of brewing. Colander, and I have a funnel with a reuse able filter that fits in the funnel.

Nothing like homebrewer ingenuity and quick thinking. Nice work!

Next time sacrifice an old shirt or sock, or the wife's nylon hose. Unless you like this method of course.

I use the wifes new Legs, nylon stockings.

Looks like it worked well. Nicely done! I try to keep a few grain bags on hand just in case and I keep a reusable one for these events as well. I do all grain but depending upon adjuncts I use, I need grain bags.

1 gallon paint strainers also work well in a pinch, as well as only being 50-80 cents a piece. just send them through a washer with no soap or soak in some PBW for a couple hours and rinse well. tie them off with floss or fishing line.

I like the spatula kick stand.
