eBIAB users BIAB Mesh/Voil question.

[aamcle]

Hi Gents.

I've tried BIAB but I found it troublesome I've come to the belief that the very fine voil my bag is made of (2 layers) was simply too fine. I had the bag clog even with stirring so I thought Id ask those who know.

How course/fine is your bag? I'm especially interested in bags used successfully for recirculating systems.

Holes about 1mm, 1/2mm, 1/4mm or smaller?

Many Thanks. Aamcle

My bag is very fine, but I only use 1 layer. 2 is overkill. I would remove one layer if yu can. Plus side is you can have 2 bags.

I feel your pain. I have been doing BIAB for over a year now and have found that voil
does NOT work with continuous recirculation. I ended up purchasing some mesh from
McMaster Carr and have had no stuck sparges since.

Thanks all.
