how to store large amount of beads in a humidor?

[FireDragon]

I went ahead and ordered 8 ounces of HCM beads for my wineador, but I probably will need a small box to keep the bag in, I don't want it just laying around. Has anyone tried putting HCM beads into smaller containers? I was thinking about buying some cheap foam humidifiers, opening them up, and stuff them full of beads, and maybe placing them on the underside of shelves. But maybe it's better to keep the beads all together in one bag?

I have HCM beads in the container that the Louis Rich turkey comes in(cleaned out with plenty of distiller water first), personally I wouldn't suggest putting them in anything hygroscopic like wood or florist foam as they will make the beads stabilize its own container before anything else.

Nylons, hop bags (brewers supply shops have various sizes), cigar box lid removed with screen stapled over the top.
Those are my methods

So is it OK to use one bag for a whole humidor? Or are there airflow issues with using only one bag?

 

[Craig Mac]

No, yes. Next question?

I've did that with my old CREDO RONDOs humidifiers. Works good. But I prefer using cigar coffins for laying beads and KL in the humidor.

I think I found a solution- reusable nylon mesh teabags. Do those work?
