After getting tired of trying to do my best with getting the most wort that I can out of my kettle with just my autosiphon I decided to start running it through paint straining bags. I simply boil up some water and when it is up to temp I cut off the heat and let the bags sit for 5 minutes to sanitize. I put a large bag in my bottling bucket and a small one in my fermenter. Now I just pour all the wort/trub/hops into the strainer in the bottling bucket. From there I just open the spigot and run the wort into the smaller bag in my fermenter. When the flow slows down I pick the large straining bag up and hang it over the bottling bucket, this gets several more cups of wort out. I have done this for several brews now and have not had any ill effects from it. I was wondering if anyone else does this. Also are there any potential downsides that I have not thought of? (So far I have found none except for the extended time and little extra clean up)
Cheers!
