Excellent Crack, thanks for this. I am just starting with bags and having some issues with finding info and trial\error.

Noob question: 3 hours for bags?
Is this because there is more grain? I have always done jar and bags for same amount of time (1.5hour) so perhaps that is part of my problem.
Again,thanks for sharing. Definitely helpful as I will be pcing bags tonight.

looking at doing bags so thank you for this.:wink:

Only question at the mo is this line "I fill my bags with 4 quarts of spawn" i am assuming this is not spawn but prepared grain?

Thanks again will keep an eye out for how you do your oats as this is what i am using at the mo.

Yes, sorry I'll have to fix that. 4 quarts of prepped grain. Something else I need to put there maybe, when doing grain bags, you want your grain a little dryer. Which I'll explain in my oat Tek, it's super simple and requires minimal effort for perfect oats. I'll be putting that Tek out in the next few days. If anyone is interested beforehand feel free to PM me and give you a short, no picture guide.

Nice! I was just about to start researching how people do bags.

After your bags colonize do you mix with a substrate and move it to a box?

That's most likely what I'll do.

I'm going to PC my bags with no tyvek and see if they hold up. But def throwing them in a pillow case or something.

Thanks for the tek!

Nice. I spent $200 on bags and they both melt. Idk what brand they are. I thought the big ones were high end.
My AApc is not electric. It sits on a burner. I put plenty of water. I don't mind using pillow cases. But it was a huge mess discovering thats how I need to do it. Not to mention grain and wasted bags.
I do good now. Not really any complaints. I'll check out unicorn once I use all these bags up in like 2 years lol

I just started using bags. It was hard to find all the info to make me feel comfortable using them.
I fold mine accordion style. I thought the filter sleeve was for a filter when the bag cools. It sucks air into it and the filter helps keep the air coming in clean. Idk. It helps them from popping?
I am only on my 4th bag. I ordered off eBay. Two different packs of 10.
I love them so far.
Thanks for writing this Tek. Can't wait till it's fully completed.

Thank you, if I don't use the sleeve mine pop for some reason, or I'll have areas of the bag that are very stretched and very thin to handle, especially to mix after inoculation.

so I ran some bags in the pc yesterday like this. if theres brown water (looks like grain soak water) does that mean a bag popped? can't seem to find holes anywhere.

Picture? If you loaded a little wetter you may have some settle to the bottom of the bag while PCing. If you have a hole, its usually pretty easy to find.

ohhh, ok. Youre probably good. Mine does that but its usually rust from my rings or trivet or other spacers Ive made. when you inoculate your bag youll be able to tell if your bag holds air. If that makes sense. Almost like checking a grocery bag if it has a hole before you keep it or throw away.
