[QUOTE="BadgeBunny, post: 2318813, member: 1242"] A member here wanted to contribute this information to the thread anonymously ... So ... without further ado, here it is ... [COLOR="#0000CD"]1 - Put mylar bag in bucket 2 - Beans/rice to 1/3 capacity, put in an Os absorber 3 - Beans/rice to 2/3 capacity, repeat 4 - Beans/rice to about 2 to 3 inches below top of bucket, another Os absorber 5 - Cut the mylar bag at angles to remove the upper corners, leaving a section about 4 to 6 inches wide at the top, center of the bag. 6 - Seal the angled cuts with a flat iron at approx. 1 to 2 inch depths from the edges. 7 - Seal the top, center section at the top of the bag in from the corners toward the center, leaving a space about 1/2-inch wide open in the center. 8 - Insert the hose on the vaccum sealer into the narrow gap remaining in the bag (don't insert the hose beyond the depth to which you've sealed the mylar), press out the remaining air and turn on the sealer. Let it do its thing. You may have to pinch the mylar on each side of the hose to achieve a seal. I fold/wrap the mylar around the hose and it works great. 9 - Once the air has been removed and the machine indicates a vaccum, fold the mylar below the sealed edge to hold the vaccum as best you can, remove the tube and quickly seal the gap with the flat iron. Don't install the lid right away. Set the lid on the bucket and put it aside. Wait 30min to an hour and check to ensure that you don't have an air leak somewhere. Your mylar bag should look like a bag of vaccum-sealed coffee (lumpy and hard as a brick of coffee/beans/rice) When you're satisfied that you have a good seal, gently fold the mylar down below the lip of the bucket, put another Os absorber on top of the bag and install the lid by hand at first then with a rubber mallet. Make sure your buckets and lids are food grade and that the lids have a rubber gasket in them. Store in the coolest, dryest place you can.[/COLOR] According to his PM to me, he has used this method for quite a while and it works fine for him. If you have any questions, please post them in this thread so everyone can see them and as he answers them, I will post the response. [/QUOTE]
