Best Beer Brewing Filters & Straining of 2026

"I've used these bags for both chicken stock and apple cider, and they’ve worked wonderfully. They’re easy to clean and perform exactly as I hoped."

"I use these for BIAB beer brewing, and I’m really impressed. They easily hold 18 lbs of soaked grain, fit well in my large kettle, and can be reused many times. Cleanup is simple—just rinse with hot water and hang to dry."

"These bags are very sturdy and do a great job straining juices, but getting them completely clean can be a bit tough. Even after soaking and rinsing, some residue remains. Still, for the price, I’d buy them again."

"I was impressed with how easy these bags were to use and clean. When I made apple cider, the fine mesh kept all the pulp out, which made a huge difference compared to other strainers I’d tried."

"These bags are perfect for pressing pears and filtering out solids. The quality is good and they really help make the juice clearer."

"I use these to line my wine pails for must straining. They’re sturdy, large enough for a 6-gallon bucket, and hold up well in the wash. The only small issue is the plastic piece on the drawstring, but I just tie it off myself."

"I found these bags to be incredibly sturdy and super easy to use for draining water when making pap. The size is generous—more than enough for my needs—and the thickness is just right. After soaking and using, I get perfectly solid pap that's easy to freeze. Cleaning is simple, and the drawstring secures tightly over large bowls."

"I use this bag every time I need to render tallow—it works perfectly to separate solids from the liquid fat. The process has become so much simpler, and clean-up is quick and easy. I’m very satisfied with how it performs and plan to keep using it."

"These bags are a game changer for making jelly and jam in large batches. The fine mesh strains out pulp and seeds, leaving me with nearly crystal-clear liquid. They're huge—easily cover a 20 quart pot—and very durable. I just make sure to boil them before use to avoid any tannin leeching. I’ll never go back to cheesecloth or traditional jelly bags!"

"I've used these bags for making compost tea in my garden, and they've performed very well for the task. The mesh is fine and durable, and as long as I'm careful with the drawstring, they hold up nicely. I appreciate how versatile and reliable they are for different uses."

"As a homebrewer, I found these bags to be exceptional for brewing all grain batches. The size is generous for my five-gallon pot, and the drawstring makes securing them easy. I was impressed by how simple they are to clean and how quickly they dry. These bags have definitely made my brewing process smoother."

"I use these bags for my home brewing setup, and I love the strong material and the anti-burn bottom. The locking pull string keeps everything in place during the process, and I've found them easy to rinse and reuse. They're a real convenience and have held up well to repeated use."

"I've been using these bags for my homebrewing setup, and they've become an essential tool for me. I can achieve high extraction efficiency with my Brew in a Bag system, and the cleanup is a breeze. I would definitely recommend these to anyone looking for a reliable brewing bag."

"The bag fits perfectly over my 10-gallon cooler and makes mashing almost mess-free. It's so much easier than using a bazooka screen or false bottom, and I love that I can just drain directly into my boil kettle. Cleanup only takes a few minutes as long as I do it right after mashing. Very satisfied with the results."

"I used the bag to strain homemade Greek yogurt, but it's honestly a bit too large for small batches, and the mesh isn’t fine enough for completely clear whey. Still, it’s much easier to wash than other cloth bags, so I’d recommend it to anyone not too picky about clarity or working with larger amounts."

"I use these brew bags in my 10-gallon crawfish pot for brewing, and they've made grain removal unbelievably quick and efficient. I even use them to strain hops later in the process, and I can't believe how much easier and faster this is than my old funnel strainer method."

"I've been using the same brew bag for five brew days, and it's still holding up strong. After 17 boils, I just started using my fourth bag, so these really last a long time. I recommend opening the bag fully in the washing machine to avoid the cord getting tangled."

"Though I didn't use these for brewing, I found them excellent for straining large batches of tallow. Cleanup was a breeze, and the bags performed perfectly for my needs."

"I found the mesh bag to be the perfect size for my needs. When making yogurt in my Instant Pot, it held a full gallon of milk, and clean-up was fast and easy."

"For my coffee shop, these bags are perfectly sized and incredibly easy to handle. They always get the job done with no issues at all."

"I use these bags for rendering tallow and making stock. They have significantly improved how clean my tallow turns out and make cleaning up much simpler."

"I've reused my first bag for brewing mashes several times now, and it's holding up great—even against full boiling heat. Just be careful around sharp objects, but otherwise, these are very resilient bags."

"I picked these up after reading positive online feedback, planning to use them with silica gel for my 3D printer filament storage. They’re sturdy, hold a decent amount of desiccant, and keep dust contained while allowing airflow. I was so satisfied that I bought a couple more. No more mess in my storage boxes, and they’re easy to dry out in the oven."

"I use these for steeping pellet hops during brewing. The mesh allows water to circulate well while keeping the hops inside, and the size is just right for one-ounce additions. I grabbed several to avoid clumping with larger batches. I had to get my own chain for hanging, but overall, they seem perfect for my use."

"While the mesh itself is solid and well-made, I wouldn’t suggest these for brewing hops because the lid has fairly large holes that could let plant material escape. The design is good, but that one flaw makes it less ideal for my needs."
