How do you clean your bags?

[firerat]

I wash my bag in the shower with a little dove for men



I should not be allowed on the internet after beers

I turn mine inside out and run it through the washing machine with my hop bag using hot water, and no detergent. Then I air dry it.

A quick rinse and hanging it up to dry has worked fine so far. Getting soap or anything on it doesn't sound like a great idea to me.

I hand wash mine in oxyclean free right after I dump the spent grains, rinse well, and then hang to air dry.

Nothing can grow in the freezer. No need to sanitize.

Nothing can grow in the freezer. No need to sanitize.

But why would you sanitize a bag used to hold grain before the boil?

Mash, empty, rinse well, hang dry, repeat.

Anything more is exercise IMO. But if it makes someone feel good, great.

Toss in laundry room for the wife to put in next load. She uses fagrance free detergent. It's hanging in there nice and clean when brewing day comes around again!

Top rack of the dishwasher if they get really skungy, otherwise just a rinse.

Why wash them? It's pre-boil
Just kidding of course, like many others, I rinse them off, inside and out, then hang them to dry. Once dry everything shakes off.

Dump my grain into the compost, garden, etc. Spray down the bag (inside out) to remove most remaining grains, rinse in sink, hang to dry. Once dry, any remaining bits shake off easily.

I made my bag from a polyester white curtain. I put it on a short 30'C program in the washing machine, without detergent, then shake it well and leave it in the air for another half an hour. Over a hundred brewing and no damage.

Turn it inside out and hit it with the hose, hang up to dry.

I am reluctant to use soap or any thing that might leave residue. I would much rather there be some residual malt/wort than residual soap, PBW, Oxyclean residue.
