Is it good for straining steeped grains?

If you mean straining grains like those used in brewing beer - I am sure that a double layer would do the trick. I have not tried it personally, but I have brewed beer and know the size of grain produced in the brewing process. Good luck - and please do let the rest of us know if you try it out and it works.

Not sure what you mean by "steeped grains" but the cloth is fine enough to strain most things. Haven't tried it with sprouted grains or anything very small like amaranth.

Since I have never used it to strain cooked rice, I am not positive that all of the rice will stay in the strainer.

If you're looking to get the consistency of dry malt extract you'd get from your local brew store, this isn't the tool for you. If you are thinking of using this for crystal malt, it will work, but for the money, you can get a dedicated grinder that is more adjustable. I wish it ground a little bit finer, but it works. I have never tried putting the grain in for a second time, so it might be better than im describing. Also, it only fits a pound of grain at a time, but I've done 7 lbs of grain without overheating the mixer. If you're planning on using this for all grain, you might check other reviews (specific to your model of mixer) about overheating. Basically, it's an ok tool if you plan on getting one for multiple uses, but if brewing is going to be its primary function, spend the extra money for something that can handle more grain and a finer level grind.

If you are doing only a cup of almond milk at a time, this might work. It is just 3-inches in diameter, and it fits nicely into a mug when steeping a cup of hot tea. The mesh is very fine, and catches all but the finest particles of tea leaves. However, if you are wanting to strain a larger quantity of almond milk, you would want a larger strainer for the job.

It should strain any fine tea as the holes on the strainer are very, very small. I have enjoyed this strainer as the old type my leaves would stick to the screen and with this strainer they do not.

It is a a sturdy strainer and does hold small grains, including quinoa. I haven't used it enough to give a long term use report, but given its sturdiness, I expect it to last a long time.

Nope. You mash with this kit. You can think of like making oatmeal. Steeping is usually associated with a partial grain / partial extract method. This one is all grain.

I believe the grains do NOT come crushed, and the instructions do not tell you to crush them. If I recall correctly, the steeping worked OK without them being crushed. I would bet that if you have the means to crush them properly, it would come out even better. One thing I've learned in my young brewing career is that there is PLENTY of room for e&#822;r&#822;r&#822;o&#822;r&#822; experimentation.

I have had similar issues with other strainers. But I use these specifically for Quinoa. Though a few grains get a little stuck occasionally, these strainers have been great for everything!

It is coarse, I use a French press. Sometimes I get little bits of grain when I'm done, so if you really want it all out I would boil and strain. It's not a lot of granule, but I'm not the picky type, I am more concerned about the taste.

I use tea strainer, and it is also depend on how fine you grind them since it's comes with whole beans. I have no problem with tea strainer.

I'm not sure about that since I've never tried straining cooking oil with it. However, the strainer is lined with a nice fine mesh, so it should do the job.

I have no idea. The grains are smaller then salt so it will probably mess the machine up.

short answer-yes. however unless you need a strainer with very fine holes for straining things like pumpkin pulp or yogurt , you might actually be better served by selecting a wire mesh style strainer the would contain the rice but let water out more quickly.

Yes, great for straining, but it is flimsy. However, as much as I have been expecting it to break, it hasn't. I use it quite often.

It is very fine mesh and would probably work well... I use it for all kinds of things from straining tea to cleaningberries etc... very pleased with it...
