Fyi: I use the 1 and 5 gallon paint strainer bags from home depot and lowes. I boil them first, and if you rinse them out and soak them in star san afterward, you can reuse them over and over. Look for 5 gal. Elastic Top StrainersNext time I will DEFINITELY use a mesh bag. Thanks!

Agreed. Strawberries, raspberries, blackberries & the seeds from blueberries to name a few (+1).Some fruits produce really fine particulates that will get through even fine mesh

You can get mesh brew bags designed for beer and wine making.Are those food safe?
Yes, I get these bags, I have many actually. I just wanted to know if the ones from the paint aisle were food safe.....likely cheaper than the 250 micron bags I use.You can get mesh brew bags designed for beer and wine making.
This is what I use. I use a 5 gallon bucket for primary and this is big enough to loop over the edge and still allow the fruit to be submerged when making a 1 gallon batch.
