Key points on grain bags vs. jars:

  • Grain Bags:

    • Ideal for commercial operations

    • More cost-effective with larger capacity

    • Flexible for break-and-shake

  • Grain Jars:

    • Perfect for home grows

    • Mitigating plastic use

    • Better control and monitoring through glass

    • Maintain consistent moisture levels

    • Superior gas exchange through filter lids

Best practice: Use jars hobbyists and small-scale operations, and bags for scaling up.
