Guys,
My mash bag is pretty stained, though i wouldnt call it dirty. I was just wondering if i could put it in my washing machine to clean it? would it shrink or impart a taste?
Thanks

I have 2 mash bags which I no longer use.
I used both whilst I was brewing with Extract. The first I would use to steep my speciality grain. The second I would use as an rather large Hop Bag.
The first is stained a rather nasty brown colour. The other is a puke green colour. At least I knoww hich bag was for which job
When I had finished with them I used to give them a good rinse and throw them into the washing machine with everything else. That is until the wife had a go at me when she kept finding little bits of Hops and Grain in the babies nappies....
After that I washed them on their own. When I did that I don't think I bothered with washing powder, just put on a rinse cycle.
Now, I don't bother using them. In the near future, I may try using one as a hop bag again to see whether this helps with my wort collection.
