This 5 x 15 inch muslin steeping bag is a convenient disposable bag for brewers who want an easy way to contain ingredients during steeping, boiling, or fermentation.

Convenient Disposable Muslin Bags for Grains, Hops, Herbs, and Spices
A Simple Brewing Bag for Everyday Ingredient Additions
Muslin steeping bags are a staple brewing accessory for beer, cider, mead, wine, and other homemade beverages. The 5 x 15 inch size is especially useful for small to moderate ingredient additions where a large grain bag is unnecessary. Use it when steeping specialty grains, containing whole leaf hops, or keeping herbs and spices together for easier removal.
These bags are available as either a single muslin bag or a convenient 5 pack, making it easy to buy exactly what you need for one batch or keep extras on hand for future brew days.
Typical Uses
- Specialty Grain Steeping: Great for holding small amounts of crystal malt, roasted malt, chocolate malt, or other steeping grains in extract and partial mash recipes.
- Whole Leaf Hop Additions: Helps contain whole cone hops during the boil or whirlpool for easier cleanup.
- Herbs and Spices: Useful for cinnamon sticks, citrus peel, cacao nibs, oak chips, botanicals, and other coarse flavor additions.
- Small Batch Brewing: A practical size for smaller recipes, test batches, and focused ingredient additions.
- Easy Cleanup: Disposable construction makes post-brew cleanup simple and convenient.
Package Size Options
- 1 Pack: Ideal when you only need one bag for a specific batch or ingredient addition.
- 5 Pack: A better option for frequent brewers who want extra muslin steeping bags ready for future brew days.
When to Use a Muslin Steeping Bag
A muslin brewing bag is best suited for coarse ingredients that do not easily pass through the fabric. It works well for specialty grains, whole hops, herbs, spices, oak, and similar brewing ingredients. The bag helps keep ingredients together, makes removal easier, and can reduce loose debris in your kettle or fermenter.
If you are using pellet hops, powdered spices, or very fine ingredients, a fine-mesh nylon bag may provide better containment. Muslin bags are convenient and versatile, but finer materials can pass through the fabric more easily.
