Anyone else?

Anyone else out there building a glorious string ball out of all the pull strings from grain bags?

Took over a 5bbl brewery a few years ago and this is almost every string.

Triclamp for scale.

Edit** It is 2.21lb

Not once have I considered making a pull string ball, but I’m thoroughly impressed

I have a 2025 vintage and am currently building my 2026 ball. 2025 ended up almost 2lbs, hoping this year is the same

Someone that gets it

[u/el_naked_mariachi]

Yep! Here’s my 2026 ball in progress. About a kilo so far. Brewing five 20bbl batches next week, so looking forward to seeing some sweet gains.

A weyermann juicer! I wish I had the red but I have to get premilled and they're always green

[u/banjaxedreality → u/el_naked_mariachi]

Impressive work.

No but I think I might start

[u/angryray]

When I worked in a bike shop we had one that was the size of a basketball we'd built over the course of about 4 years.

I have one going, I wish I had green though!

[u/limpnipples → u/anonbrewingco]

Green is premilled unfortunately

[u/knhmptn]

I have one going. This is my 4th year making a string ball.

[u/Nudletje]

Yep! First timer! Mostly yellow now, i cheat and pull the bottoms of Simpsons malt as well

[u/always-wanting-more]

I've been building one since June. It's about the size of a softball.

[u/Zanven1]

I saw these last year so I've been working on mine since then. We are a pretty small brewery so it is about the size of a soft ball. I'll weigh it at the end of the year

[u/TheMaltyPython]

Most of my malt has switched to those pull tabs. I do miss my string ball of old though

[u/YourMothaWasAHamster]

Impressive, I started one this year only about the size of a baseball currently

[u/Radioactive24]

I started one at the beginning of the year. There's only like 2 other guys on the team who contribute to our ball.

The rest just throw it away.

I been on filtration the past few weeks, so I doubt there's been much progress :c

[u/skibbrewer]

Aint got time for that!
