Pressing bag

[joemcc]

Does anyone know where to get a pressing bag with the hole in it for a rachet press

not sure how big a bag you need but I know paint strainer bags come in 5 gallon I know I use them when I press my fruit/grapes but I do mine by hand would love a press. If it was 5 gallon or less they should work fine I'd think. They can be bought at any home depot or lowes lumber supplies

Thats where I get mine. I just cut a hole in the bottom of it for my press.

Take 2 bags and lay one on either side of the screw. That will sayve you from having to cut a hole in a bag. Alot of people just use the paint straining bags available at a home improvement store due to cost.

I didnt know they make one with a hole in the middle for the ratchet press. I just bought a large fermenting bag and made a very small hole myself but if they do make a bag that has the hole and its reinforced there that would be better.

That is what i do - i use the 5 gallon paint straining bags from Home Depot. I don't cut holes in them - i actually place 2 on each side of the screw.

I myself have been using the true fermenting bags for years and clean them decent and through them in the wash, Ive had mine for about 3 years now so saving money much better then throwing away right after use. After wahed I keep it in my corkidor.

I have reused the Home Depot ones several times as well - they wash out very easily as well.

I picked up some paint strainer bags at Lowes this morning.

A 2 pack of the 1 gallon bags are 1.98
A 2 pack of the 5 gallon bags are 2.98
