    Re: Storage of green beans

    Hey Goodies...if you have access to a sewing machine just go to your local haberdashery supplier (ie: fabric type stuff) and grab some calico and knock yourself up a few bags...dead easy. If youre too mucho to be seen in a girls shop just convince yourself that its for mens business and youll be cool! (until one of your mates sees you)  :P

    Girls before you flame me Im just kidding!! (been to Spotlight more than once myself!)

      Re: Storage of green beans

      So are you saying that the paper bags are no good for the time being?

      I will only probably keep the starter pack beans in the paper bags (only if this is OK), then keep the future lot of green beans in their calico bags they come in.  Once I finish the 5kg of roasted beans (now down to 3kg) I received the other week, then I will get stuck into roasting the green bean starter pack.

      If someone can let me know if storing my green beans in paper bags is NO Good and it will effect my beans in the short term then I will remove and find another way of storing them.

        Hey Flo... Spotlight is cool, I have been known to buy all sorts there in the past and then spend the rest of the day swearing at the sewing machine.

        Goodies...
        The paperbags will be fine for the starter pack beans, it will stop them sweating and besides, I cannot see them lasting for any great amount of time anyway.

          Thanks Andy for the confirmation,  and your right they probably wont last very long.  Cant wait to jump into the front lines of the next bean bay to order up some more of them greens. Beans that is.

            Ive knocked up a few of my own from bags my son brought home from work.
            They were old promotional ones from some long forgotten wine festival or similar.
            They would make great shopping bags but were way too big for what I wanted.
            I can make 3 decent sized bean bags from them.

            Reminds me, now that I have a few more varieties I have to make up a few more.

            And nothing girlie about it fellas, my father was a tailor.

              I am building a cupboard for storing my beans - as soon as I can find a cabinet maker with free time that is!

              I like the idea of a bean chest, but have nowhere to put it at the moment.

                Just make sure youre using plain paper bags. Not waxed ones.

                Another alternative I plan on implimenting here is modifying the 70kg burlap coffee bags to hold smaller amounts. I plan to sew/stitch them up to divide them into 4-8 seperate pouches. The bags will be folded over length wise and hung over a dowel rod or pipe (stitched in place) with ropes tied to the ends and slung over the clothes rod (changed from a 2.5cm wooden dowel to a 5cm iron pipe) in a closet in a climate controlled room.

                This will allow the storage of a lot of beans in a compact and easily accessible manner while keeping them off the floor and away from the critters and allow the beans to properly breathe.

                  Interesting idea Javaphile.
                  I have one of those bags at the moment and access to more if I need.
                  Hmmmmm....

                    Has anyone else seen the new packaging for Daterra beans? Sealed bags in a box, apparently to help them retain their moisture content. . .
