How do you drain your bag? Picture thread

[ALExanderH]

I haven't seen one of these so I thought this would be interesting. I'm fairly new to brewing and finding my best way of doing things(also don't have access to the huge variety of supplies you guys in the US do because I live in Iceland)

This is not a discussion of whether squeezing releases tannins or other nasties.

This is simply a picture thread to show how awesome(or not awesome) your ideas are!

If there is a thread like this I apologize and would gladly see a link.

I will post my own picture after my next brew as I'm going to test my newest idea.

I used to squeeze the bag to death on the BBQ grill over the mash tun. Now, I only mash in 1.25-1.5 quarts per pound of grain and squeeze enough so no liquid will drip as I swing the bag over to dunk it and sparge in the remainder of my boil size. I then squeeze it enough so it doesn't drip and call it good.

Basket has SS bolts to keep it off the bottom of the pot. After sparging in this configuration, I use a heavy glass mug to press (squeeze) the grains out. I'm just a couple of batches in with this setup, works pretty well so far! I want to add another brace across the top of the pot so the basket is centered, though.
