Not good in corser sizes for fermentation.

The 800 micron bag when used for 'on grain' fermentation without any boiling process has significant cleanup issues -- possibly some manufacturing issues in my view. For some reason the seams on the mesh overlap at the bag seam area. That is not the case for the finer 200 micron mesh bag.

The effect is that debris and particles gets trapped in this overlap area and cleaning the bag took over 90 minutes and a toothbrush. Suggestions that this is not important do not reflect practical knowledge of 'on grain' fermentation.

Use of this bag in this application made the mashing process more difficult and more time consuming. The intention was to strain out the grain in preparation for further processing. The effect was a cleanup mess.

Bag re-use requires stringent cleaning process.

Very disappointing.

I'm familiar with your issue and wish you would have contacted us before spending the time to scrub it out as there are a couple of easier ways. Since the grain went into the seam - it will come out of the seam, and it doesn't require a toothbrush. Some people toss it in the washing machine and allow the turbulence and the water to take care of it. Others use a bio dissolving product like PBW to soak and rinse. And, you can also rinse thoroughly under the highest pressure available after use and hang to dry, then snap the bag like a towel or blow out the remaining particulates.

Give any of those methods a try and I think you'll be much more inclined to using the bag.

You don't mention if the bag actually made the mashing process easier, more efficient, or faster - but we know that it does all those things, so we think the bag worked as intended as you don't say otherwise. And, we've never had a one star review of the product - ever - so you're the first to put so much emphasis on cleanup and rate the product based on that issue.

The fabric has to be sewn in the manner you see so that the seam will hold together under stress, otherwise the bigger holes in the 800 micron will not hold the thread.

Nice product size

What made the experience good was the fact that we could get the size that we wanted. For a long time we had been searching for such a size, and we finally found it. Now we just need something with both physical size and micron size. That would be GREAT!!

Bag is well-made and sturdy

Bag is well-made and sturdy. I provided measurements and sized up 1/2" because I was between sizes. I recommend sizing down a bit because the bag is loose in the brew kettle. The pulley system works, but I don't recommend it if you use more than 30-35 lbs of grain. I used 40 lbs, and it was a struggle with this small of a pulley system.

Bruce - thanks for the review. We'd like to clarify that we ask for exact kettle dimensions when ordering. The 400 micron material is very stiff so we make them within .75" of the kettle to avoid buckling. Sizing down will likely result in a bag that does not fit.

Works great, SS Brewtech 1V

I got the 400 micron bag. It fits the kettle perfectly, feels durable, and worked great! I used it without a false bottom and there were no issues or scorching on the bag at all. Would definitely recommend.

Best Bag You Can Buy

Fast Shipping. This is my second bag and wanted it for a back up. Couldn't remember what size I needed but there is a sizing help aid on the website. Sent the exact one. Keep thinking that this bag is going to split at some time. I've brewed 50+ batches of homebrew using the same bag. It is stained a brownish tone from the dark malts that I use in Stouts, but still maintains its integrity with no signs of impending failure and I squeeze this thing like crazy to get every drop out of it!

My old brew bag has over 200 brews and was still functional but getting a little worn. I do not use metal tools when brewing just a large wooden spoon to stir grain.
New bag is fairly priced and came quickly.

The brew bag does what it says it does!!

The bag is built well and the time from order to ship and receive was as promised. My only wish was that it could have had a hole for my recirculation system, the bag essentially blocks the return pipe access, a few adjustments to the set up and return hose and so far so good.
