Anyone has a source for a large mesh bag?
I converted a 30 gal hdpe drum to a mash tun and have the issue that my false bottom keeps floating up allowing grain to settle underneath and clog it up. I can either make a fixture to hold the screen in place or find a large BIAB bag to fit in the drum. Preferring the bag variant as it's also easier to clean out the grain after.
Any ideas if sourcing? Length 30", width 21"

I don't think the bags the dominoes come in would be large enough although they may be? You may be able to stitch a couple together too. I bet Larry has a few laying around.

My dominoes came in plastic. But along that line, a source of 400 micron mesh might work for a diy version
they come to the distributors in 25kg bags containing 5 x 5kg (approx) nylon mesh bags with nylon drawstring.
Reminder to anyone in StillDragon Australia territory to leave a note with your order if you want a few free empty bags i'll chuck them in if there's room.

Pretty sure Country Malt Group sources the large scale mesh bags.
Amazon has lots of large mesh bags the size your talking about. with mesh sizing down to .5 micron.
I use a stainless basket. Check arbor fabrication sometimes Utah biodiesel have different sizes ready to go in their discount section. I had my basket custom made, it was not cheap but it was worth the money.
@Kill_Devil_Spirit_Co checked them out & looks like they don't carry.
@DonMateo true, however only for up to 5gal bucket sizes.
I'm back to AliExpress now to see if something there works as they have larger sizes. Might give AiHB a call to see if they can do something with their suppliers...
Their current sales book says they do
@rossco thanks for the link to arborfab! While I'm trying to stick to mesh for now, I think I have the right project with them later and they're only 50 minutes away
@Kill_Devil_Spirit_Co my apologies. I don't have an account with them and it's not listed on the website. But based on my calc, I need 33x30 flat to fit.
BrewInABag can customize. Checking with them now
I had to dig through the sales book on their site, was definitely a bit buried. Free account though and worth having IMO.
Best of luck

this guy will do custom work as well, and I have one of his bags and love it!
