This mesh bag is a lifesaver for my sanity. I have used fresh fruit for my mead in the past and had a headache trying to siphon the must to secondary. This makes it easy. Just lift it out. Thank you!
Works good with the 5 gal igloo cooler. Don't need the draw string.
Good quality material and shipped quickly, would recommend!

I’ve used 5 gallon paint strainer bags with a hop spider in the past, but had clogging issues with post boil hop additions. I typically cycle wort through my plate chiller back into the boil kettle with the return hose in the the hop spider. This allows me to reduce trub and hops going into the plate chiller while lowering the wort temperature. Once I hit the target temperature and add hops for the stand, I continue cycling the wort to maximize hop flavors. This is where the paint strainer bags would clog. This mesh bag did not clog and kept trub and hop material from clogging the plate chiller. Seems like it has the right combination of volume and mesh size.
We use this bag to line the inside of the mash tun, it prevents a stuck sparge.
Nice and worked really well.
This is an ideal size for a 5-6 gallon bucket if you don't want to use a basket wine press..
I use these bags in a 5 gallon pot and they fit perfectly. Work great as a second filter for the mash and for easy clean up. These bags also last a long time and can be used over and over. Last bag was used for about 20 batches before getting a wear hole in it.
good fabric, cleans back to white quite well. after about 2 hours of usage I see 2 places where the seams have opened up about an inch. I use these inside a basket press to keep seeds and bits of grape skin from the getting into the wine during press.
These nylon mesh bags work great for straining our fresh pressed juices. They are durable and easily cleaned after use.
I use the BIAB for all grain because it's quicker, cheaper and quite frankly, I get high efficiency (over 85%) that appears better than what I'm seeing other report from using the Igloo coolers. I squeeze and crush the bag after lautering with 170F water multiple times to maximize malt collection and this bag stands up to the abuse.
Solid bag for boiling in a bag brews. Pretty much all I do and this is a great piece of equipment. Wouldn't brew without it.
I ordered this bag, but it did not ship with my order. I asked more beer to put one on my account for the next batch of beer that I bought. I bought a bag at a local beer store at three times the price and used it for my brew. In the mean time, more beer shipped me the missing bag free of charge. I am very pleased with the customer service from more beer.I brew in an eight gallon kettle I bought from more beer several years ago. I have installed a thermometer in the side of the kettle so I was concerned about the bag getting caught on the thermometer probe which goes in about two inches. So I purchased a colander for cooking crab and lobster that measures 13 inches tall by 11 inches around. It fits in the kettle with room to spare, keeps the bag off the bottom of the kettle and when I want the bag out, I lift the colander, put a grate on the top of the kettle to rest the colander and pour warm water over the grains to sparge.
This is a great bag, have used many times and is still going! I have a 7.5 gallon kettle and fits with plenty of room. Would fit a bigger kettle too.Highly recommend.
It will hold enough hops for a 30 gallon batch.
Can't beat the price if you're on a budget or just wanting to try BIAB. I used this bag for about a dozen brews before stepping up to a more purpose specific BIAB bag. The mesh is a little coarser than a voile bag, so expect more trub in the boil/fermenter. But a good cold crash prior to bottling or kegging will drop it all out and still give you pristine clear beer. It's a big bag, fit my 15 gallon Blichmann with room to spare. Strong material and stitching, held a 16 lb. grain bill without a whimper.
For the price, its well worth.
Bought this to Brew in a Bag. Bag was big enough for my 8 gallon pot. Mash was about ten pounds of grain. Bag was super heavy after, but it came through. I've used it a few times and it's still very study. Good investment.
I use the mesh bag for my small batches, typically 3 gallons or so when I'm trying out a new recipe. Good to have when you want to limit your clean up.
Very sturdy. Can handle a lot of weight without ripping.
This bag is great for adding hops without having to do all the straining. The bag is washable / reusable.
I've bought 2 of these over the years. The first one I used for years and it seemed to last forever but I eventually decided to retire it after it got stained, melted on top edge from getting it too close the the flame, small holes from snagging it, etc. It's still basically solid and has been used for dozens of partial mash BIAB batches. The newer one I've only used for a handfull of batches and it split on one of the side seams already. That one was very poor quality. I tossed it out with the grain on my recent batch.So I'm going to buy another but really hope it is more like my old one in quality.
I like the size of this bag and it seems to be holding up well. It works fine for steeping grain and "brew in a bag" batches. The shape it takes when I lift it out of the pot is a bit wide in one direction, so I risk dripping liquid down the sides of my pot when removing a fuller bag. Holding the bag just inside the pot while it drains does the trick though. You could say that it does give me a good excuse to buy an eight gallon kettle. Other than that, I'm very pleased with it's performance.
I love this bag, it makes the all grain process much easier. It seems to be durable enough. I would recommend it.
My friend used this for his first all grain one gallon brew. It was very hand to use as a brew in a bag type technique. I have used this in 10 gallon IPAs and it is nice to allow the pellets to float in the large bags.
I've used the bag for BIAB brewing. I typically do 2 gallon batches, but have used this for 5 gallon batches as well. I believe I've used it for a good dozen batches at this point, and it's starting to show a little wear (maybe I caught it wrong with a spoon?). I plan to get a second as a backup, but for the price, a great deal. Hard to clean the grain out when finished, but I don't know that there's a bag out there that will help with that.
I use this to strain any grain or hops, or use to contain hops in the boil, use it for mini mashs too.
Use for grain or hops. Make sure you wash well if you plan to use again.
this is working out great for a few mini mash beers im trying! also works great for even extract brewing as well
Used this with my 8 gal kettle for a quick BIAB. Size is perfect, and it beats having to break out my mash tun cooler for an after work brew session.
If you plan to do any summer harvest ales, this is a great product for large whole hop additions. I use this product for whole hop additions in my 25 gallon kettle as it is easy to fill (bag opening is about the size of trader joes bag opening) and relatively easy to clean... i let it air dry over night and then shake out the particles and it cleans up nicely. I tie it off w/ some twine....tie it off twice!! As easy it is to fill it is just as easy to empty in your kettle!! An improvement to this bag would be a draw string.
