Greetings, To store all of my green coffee I recently purchased a bunch of nice, good quality, burlap/jute bags. Any recommendations from the group as to how to ensure that I make them food grade? That is, should I wash them and if so, how? Thanks, Brian Homeroast mailing list Homeroasthttp://www.homeroasting.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemIdx20">http://lists.sweetmariascoffee.com/listinfo.cgi/homeroast-sweetmariascoffee.comHomeroast community pictures 9upload yours!) :http://www.homeroasting.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemIdx20 |
Brian, I don't think you need to do anything to the bags. Load 'em up, brother! I think you're fine. Were the bags sold as food bags?

You should heat them to 230° F, min., for not less than 3 minutes to eradicate the bacteria, mites and small insects that can harm the bean mass when storing green coffee for an extended period. <Snip> containers for transportation purposes, not long term storage. The environment of the el-Ropo bags = the beans' environment over time. Cheers, Mabuhay -RayO, aka Opa!
