New Wilserbrewer bag results

[haeffnkr]

Hello All,
I contacted Mike about my problem with brewing in a kettle, I make 12 gallons and I was having a hard time with 25 pound grain bills, the bag would not easily come out and when it did wort was all over the keggle/floor.
Mike sewed up a bag with new dimensions designed to be a bit smaller and not bulge over the side of a keggle.

The bag is 32" long, 25" wide at the top and 12" wide at the bottom, with a flat bottom, measured flat on the floor.
The Bag is in a "V" up 18" and only the top part is full diameter.
Bag worked great.

First run was with only 19 pounds.
The 2nd try last night was a Porter with 26 pounds of grain.
No issues at all, no wort on the floor, no bulging bag clinging to the side of the keggle.
There was still room for my stir motor prop to fit and it cleared the bag.

Also, and this is big for me, since the bag does not cling the side of the keggle, it allows the water to flow outside of the bag/grain and thus helps greatly in keeping a constant temp top to bottom of the mash.

The bag also easily fit in my sparge bucket.

thanks Mike!

Kevin
