It was recently suggested to me that I use 'goonbags' (wine-in-box) bags to age my mead.
A friend who often makes small batches recommended this, as you can severely limit the headspace and it's food-safe.
Well, I don't drink cask wine, so don't have any lying around. 4 litres is also a little small. So I thought I'd do some research, and voilla, I found where I can buy 15 litre goon-bags for under $3.00 ea!
That's a lot cheaper than a 15 l carboy or even a plastic bottle.
Add to that the ability to 'resize' the bag for less headspace and we're on a winner here.
My problem is however, that the manufacturer does not have any distributors, so the minimum order would be for 135 bags.
Is anybody in melbourne or anywhere in Aus interested in a group buy?
Does anybody have any reccommendations against using these bags?
