Hops Bag – Muslin Bag

This reusable-style muslin bag keeps loose hops, botanicals, spices or fruit additions contained during brewing and infusion. It makes removal easier and reduces the amount of plant material reaching the fermenter or finished drink.

How to use the muslin hops bag

• Allow ingredients room to expand rather than packing the bag tightly.
• Tie or secure the opening before adding it to the kettle, fermenter or infusion vessel.
• For dry hopping or any addition after the boil, clean and sanitise the bag before it contacts the beer.
• Remove gently to avoid squeezing harsh flavours or excess sediment into the drink.

Check the bag after each use and replace it if the weave, seam or drawstring becomes damaged.

Bag or stainless hop basket?

This muslin bag is the simple option for smaller additions, dry hopping, botanicals or fruit. For repeated kettle use and a rigid basket that hangs from a suitable vessel, compare the stainless-steel Hop Spider.
