Its easy to go bagless, drop all your fruit in the primary and stir it up good twice a day, after the fruit has been in there long enough you can scoop it off the top of the cap, or you can strain it through a filter bag and into your secondary. No need to use a racking can to transfer it, you get better fruit contact with the must all day, not just when you squeeze the bag a little and you cont have to wash the bag out. Some people use those paint strainer bags from the hardware store, not food grade enough to leave in your must for a couple of days or a week but probably ok to use to strain through between primary and secondary.WVMJ
