FoodSaver Compatible Mylar Bags!

Vacuum sealing with a FoodSaver, Seal-a-Meal or similar is a great way store food, hops, grains, spices and more. Vacuum bags work to seal out oxygen, prevent freezer burn and more.

What Are the Advantages Mylar Bags?

Generally speaking Mylar bags consist of three layers. Two Mylar layers that laminate a center aluminum foil layer. This combination provides strength, flexibility and durability along with an extremely low Oxygen Transmission Rate (OTR). These bags also block potentially damaging light. Combine this with vacuum sealing and you’ve got an outstanding way to store food & more.

Search Amazon for “food grade mylar bags” – to see lots of current offerings

For homebrewer’s… Vacuum sealed Mylar bags are an excellent  way to store hops and other oxygen sensitive materials.  As a testament to this, many hop distributors distribute hops in Mylar bags.  Sometimes those are vacuum sealed and sometimes they are nitrogen flushed.

Do Mylar Bags Work with FoodSaver Vacuum Sealers?

A FoodSaver (or similar) is a standard home suction type vacuum sealer that relies on special bags. We generally call them… vacuum sealer bags. These bags are embossed or textured to create channels on the inside of the bag. Those channels allow a FoodSaver to draw out air and create a vacuum all while the machine is clamped down. When this process is done a heat strip seals the bag locking in the vacuum state.

Mylar bags have smooth walls. Since they don’t have the required special channels they will not work with FoodSaver machines.

But, Wait… SteelPak Textured Vacuum Sealing Bags!

SteelPak has introduced a metalized vacuum bag that features an embossed/channeled design that allows these bags to work with FoodSaver-type vacuum machines.

  • Selection tips: For mini digital electronic scales, with the same accuracy, the maximum range is not the bigger the better, on the contrary, the smaller range is more accurate, for 0.01g accuracy, the maximum range of 200g is a good choice, so please according to their own needs for the maximum range and accuracy to choose.

 

Tare Function: Tare allows you to subtract the weight of the container you’re using to get a true weight of the contents.  Add your empty container to the scale and press the tare button.  This zeros out the scale.  Now add the thing you’re weighing and the scale displays just the weight of the contents of your container.  In my opinion the tare function is essential for any good homebrewing scale.

Given the specs of this scale, it should work for weighing hops, water salts and smaller amounts of other brewing ingredients.  100 grams is about 3.52 ounces.

More About Magnum

Description

Note: Due to a shift in the industry, US Magnum has become very scarce. German Magnum is readily available and is a direct substitute.

Magnum is a great bittering hop with an aroma similar to a strong Willamette. It therefore works well with Willamette, Fuggles, and British Kent Goldings when used as an aroma hop in later boil additions.  Magnum makes an incredibly useful bittering agent in just about any beer, and due to its very smooth bitterness, you can really use as much as you want.

Hop Statistics:
Alpha Acids: 10.0 – 14.0%
Beta Acids: 4.5 – 7.0%
Alpha-Beta Ratio: 1.43 – 3.11
Cohumulone: (% of alpha acids): 24 – 30%
Total Oils in mls per 100 grams dried: 1.9 – 3.0
Similar Hop Varieties: Nugget, Columbus, Horizon

Fuzion Digital Milligram Scale 50/0.001g, Mg Scale with 20g Cal Weight, Micro Scale, Powder Scale for Powder Medicine, Reloading

Fuzion Digital Milligram Scale 50g/ 0.001g Scale

More Info


Highlighted Features
  • High Precision Scale: This mg scale can weigh up to 50 gram with increments readability: 0.001g/1mg, Minimum: 0.005g. Based on a high precision sensor system, this scale can instantly provide an accurate reading for tiny project like powder medicine.
  • You Got All Necessary Accessories: 6 pcs accessories packaged with the powder scale. 1×20g calibration weight, 1×powder pan, 1×scoop, 1×tweezer, 2×AAA batteries and 1 small spoon at the bottom of the scale(push it). Great for weighing jewelry, gem, gunpowder reloading, powder medicine.
  • Smart Functions: This gram scale has a smart design. TARE for easily get a net weight from containers, PCS for items counting, 180s Auto-off function(adjustable). Intelligent indication for low battery power, overload and unstable placed.
  • 6 Modes & LCD Display: If you ask whether can this scale weigh in grams, grains or mg, the answer is yes. And it has 6 different weigh modes total: g/ oz/ gn/ ct/ dwt/ ozt. It would be great as a jewelry scale, powder scale, reloading scale. The LCD screen with backlit clearly displays the reading even in dark.
  • 10 YEARS WARRANTY: Fuzion is dedicated to 100% customer satisfaction! We offer lifetime support to our customers. Service team are always glad to help with all your questions or concerns.

 

Tare Function: Tare allows you to subtract the weight of the container you’re using to get a true weight of the contents.  Add your empty container to the scale and press the tare button.  This zeros out the scale.  Now add the thing you’re weighing and the scale displays just the weight of the contents of your container.  In my opinion the tare function is essential for any good homebrewing scale.

With resolution down to the thousandth of a gram, this would be a candidate for use with both hops and water salts.

Typically as resolution/accuracy go up, capacity goes down. From what I generally see the 50 gram (1.76 ounces) capacity is a relatively high considering that this has milligram resolution.

Sous Vide Magnets to Hold Down Hop Sacks – $12.99, best price + free prime ship

Sous Vide Weights

Sous Vide Weights

More Info


Highlighted Features
  • Keep Bags Submerged For Efficient Cooking - Use our pack of 4 light weight magnets to fully submerge your bags and keep them in place. This helps ensure you don't undercook meat, vegetables, or anything else. Achieve this by pinning your bag to the container wall with a pair of magnets.
  • Discover A French Secret - Ever wonder how French restaurants have perfected sous vide? Magnets! They allow you to easily change the cooking position of your bags. Simply slide the outside magnet up and down. Repositioning your food bags multiple times will lead to some delicious results!
  • The Best Sous Vide Bag Immersion Solution - Stop using weights for sous vide! They tend to roll off whatever you put them on and sometimes leave a weird taste on your food. A sous vide cooking rack can be flimsy and takes forever to set correctly. In contrast, our magnets are super easy to use and hold perfectly.
  • Universal Solution for Containers - Our magnets are compatible with containers made of glass, stainless steel, polycarbonate, aluminium, and more. The magnets are compatible with any sous vide circulator, including Anova, Joule, Accu Slim, Breville, and Ink Bird
  • Food Safe Material - Our lightly weighted magnets coated with food-grade silicone and can withstand temperatures up to 413 °F. Since they won't touch your food, you don't have to clean them every time

 

Food use appropriate weights are confusingly difficult to find. I’ve reached out to multiple stainless ball bearing manufacturers and had no success in finding one that offers food grade products.

The pictured Sous Vide magnets are generally intended for use in sous vide cooking. However, they look like they would work well to weigh down hop sacks. You’d need magnets on the inside and outside of any compatible container.

More About Mosaic

Though just released in 2012, Mosaic® hops have become a high-demand aroma hop. Even with a high alpha content, the intense aroma of fresh pine, mango, blueberry and citrus are the main event when you brew Mosaic® hops. Generally used in Pale Ales, IPAs, and Stouts, so far Mosaic has been found to make a great addition to any recipe.
