Today I am brewing an oatmeal stout and using my flash new bag fro CB.
Previously I used a much cheaper bag from another site sponsor, but I was concerned about the weight hanging from the thin nylon drawstring so I thought I'd shout myself a heavy duty bag with the loops for attaching a rope and lifting.
Although the new bag is bigger, and more solid, that would only account for perhaps 100 or so grams more weight. The grain bill for this brew is a little bigger to, so, wet, maybe an extra kg...
The real "extra" comes from the suction this thing creates with the sides of the urn.
I take back everything I said about not needing a block and tackle, and will soon be off to the big green shed for more pulleys.
(Or ebay for a cheap electric winch...)
