Rim Shot! Now this is what I call great postings!

[David Patchen]

As a *rare* meat-eater, I propose a brisket discussion moratorium. That stuff is gross.

A beer bag is what you place over your dates head after a 12 pack.

[Wes Hunting]

Note that I kept it PC by not pointing out if the stripper was male or female.

How about a pic. Think I should ask David to submit one. He may just feel welcome once more and not zap me again.

Now this is not what I want to see. We had a legitimate question that got short circuited.

A beer bag is a brown paper bag that holds two six packs of beer. I buy them from SAMS in lots of 500. I use them for all my small color charges since it is a tidy way to contain the batch. When Tom Littleton took my course, he saw us using them and began to offer SP87 in the same bags which weighed about 12.5 lbs. It works nicely for that as well since there is a group who never liked the dust from the fifty lb SP87 bags. A caution is that if you put batch in them, they should be used pretty soon since the batch leaches the oil out of the paperbag and it becomes brittle and very easily torn. I think Tom uses a slightly heavier weight bag than I do.

Actually I have it on good authority that another fine use of a beer bag is roasting a brisket in said bag. This results in fabulously juicy brisket. For anyone who doubts the veracity of my claim just try a Google search on "brisket in a bag".

[Franklin Sankar]

Thanks Pete, we dont use them . Maybe its because the beers dont last that long to stay in a bag. Our pubs are called Rum shops and they seem to exist at almost every street corner.

those long narrow bags are really hard to fill with batch.

[Franklin Sankar]

I got this on the net.
QUOTE..........


The advent of the six-pack carrier put an end to the need for beer bags. "My guess is the last beer bags were produced in the mid-1930s," Marcia says.

Beer bags were, basically, shopping bags with beer advertising on them. They came in white or manila with two different kinds of handles. Rope handles-which came in various colors. And so-called continental handles which were wide, flat paper strips glued to the outside of the bag. If the bag was stapled, it was an early model; the later ones were glued.

Franklin,
I tried using beer bags to charge with but I always ended up to intoxicated to fill them with batch after trying to empty them all.:drink: :dunce: :D

[Eben Horton]

how about a brown paper lunch bag??

[Brian Graham]

I use small brown paper lunch bags when charging batch into my small wire melter - clean and no dust.
