These are reusable nylon bags that can be used to hold the fruit during the primary fermentation stage of wine making. The coarse texture of this bag will retain most of the fruit so that the bag and the fruit can be removed at the end of the primary stage, thus making the racking process easier. The fruit in the bag can then be pressed to release the retained juices.
CLEANING HINT:
Back wash well. Sanitize if you wish. Hang up so it can air dry. Never put away wet and it won't mold or mildew. Discoloration will occur with use but will not impart off flavor. Always sanitize prior to using. Limit exposure to bleach and other sanitizers, as they could cause the nylon to break down and become subject to tears.
18" x 32" This bag does not come with a drawstring.
Using a fruit bag when making wine offers several key benefits:
1. **Easy Extraction**: A fruit bag allows for easy extraction of fruit pulp and solids from the liquid. It simplifies the process of straining out the solid matter after fermentation, resulting in a clearer, more refined wine.
2. **Reduced Mess**: By containing the fruit pulp, a fruit bag helps minimize mess and spills during the fermentation process. This makes cleaning up easier and helps maintain a more hygienic winemaking environment.
3. **Consistent Flavor**: The fruit bag ensures that the fruit remains in close contact with the liquid during fermentation, which helps in achieving consistent flavor extraction and better integration of the fruit characteristics into the wine.
4. **Improved Clarity**: After fermentation, the fruit bag can be removed with the fruit solids, reducing the need for additional filtering or fining processes to clarify the wine.
5. **Convenient Handling**: The fruit bag makes it easier to handle the fruit, especially when dealing with large quantities. It can be lifted out of the fermenter for pressing or disposal, simplifying the process of separating the fruit from the liquid.
6. **Enhanced Fermentation**: By keeping the fruit in a bag, you can more effectively manage the fermentation process, ensuring that the fruit's flavors and sugars are efficiently extracted and utilized by the yeast.
7. **Reduced Risk of Contamination**: Using a fruit bag reduces the risk of contamination from solid fruit matter coming into contact with other equipment or the wine itself.
Overall, a fruit bag streamlines the winemaking process, improves the quality of the final product, and makes handling and cleanup more efficient.

I have used this product many times over the last 2 years, probably to the tune of 2 dozen times, for wine and beer. As a BIAB, I typically would use 8# of grain or less, the larger grain bills I would use the bag in the preforated insert (steamer basket) for my 9 gal boil kettle which would add extra support for draining and sparging. It is quite discolored after using it last month to steep 15# overripe bananas (slimy goop). The seams are still holding and I must say it is a versatile bag... well worth the money.
