MiniMesh Strainer – Fits Carboy Necks & FerMonster Lid Inner Opening

Contain Hops, Fruit, and Oak in Traditional Carboys and FerMonster Lids

This MiniMesh Strainer is the smaller strainer bag designed to fit into the neck of traditional carboys and into the inner circle opening of FerMonster wide-mouth lids. It’s a clean, simple way to contain hop pellets, fruit, spices, oak cubes, and other additions during fermentation or aging—making removal easier and helping reduce debris during transfers.

If you want the convenience of a strainer bag but need a compact size that works with standard carboy necks, this is the one.

Key Features

• Use: Dry hopping, fruit/spice infusions, oak aging, and debris control
• Cleaner Transfers: Helps keep hop matter and additions from floating loose in the fermenter
• Reusable: Easy to rinse, sanitize, and use again

Great For

• Dry Hopping in Carboys: Keeps hop pellets contained for easier removal
• Fruit & Spice Additions: Prevents clogging and reduces sediment pickup during racking
• Oak Cubes: Easy to remove at the perfect contact time without fishing around
• Mead & Cider Additions: Keeps adjuncts tidy while extracting flavor

How to Use

• Sanitize: Treat like any cold-side equipment—sanitize before use

Tips for Best Results

• Don’t Pack It Tight: Leave room for hop pellets to expand and circulate
