Paint Strainer bags for straining fruit...

[grrickar]

When I first switched from partial mash to all grain I read some comments and purchased several packs of paint strainer bags to use for mashing, but upon doing further research I purchased a fine grand slam set of BIAB bags from Mr. Wilser, and I haven't looked back. His bags are awesome!

Today I bottled 5 gallons of my modified Raspberry Requiem, and I thought 'hmm, those paint strainer bags have been sitting around awhile'. I slipped the end of my racking cane into one, and shoved it into the carboy - it worked brilliant to keep the fruit and sludge out.

Many of you probably have been using them for some time for this, but I had been using the muslin 'sock' material like most partial grain kits come with. The paint strainer bag worked great and they are reusable.

I use a 1 gallon paint strainer bags over my auto siphon for dry hopped beers. Works great to keep the hop particles out which clog the dip tube.

I've use the bags to screen the juice out of many lbs of Mango fruit. Lotta work. LOL

I concur, Wilser bags are the cream of the crop!! I don't lift the bag directly, but I lift a strainer basket holding the bag. With this low bag stress method, I predict these grain bags will last years!

Good use of paint strainer bags. I'll try your suggestion...thanks!!
