The bags are the ones that the grape concentrate comes in for the wine kit.
Wow what an excellent thread, well done gents!

That explains it. Can you buy them separately?

Done some research for you.
Looks like these are better than hacking an old wine kit.

I just hold the wine bag up, put the wand in the neck to the base and fill with wine ( or beer ). Replace cap and then ease out any retained air.
Perhaps a touch of ascorbic acid as well to mop up any oxygen. Although you can condition with priming in the bag for beer but you would need to vent some gas.

Google shows lots of images for "double bottom pouch" or "stand up pouch " but not any uk suppliers.
And these look really useful...

Hmmm.. not that straightforward.
I have some that are assembled already in box that I refill.
I was struggling to get the tap out to refill so I bought these of Amazon and they work well. I just hang them on a hook.. Uk supplied https://amzn.eu/d/dGEvsfR

Ahh, I take mine out of the box.

They are single skinned bags, likely to be very gas permeable.
I never thought when wrote the first posting on this, that there would be so much useful information. The bags, along with the boxes, look a really good idea, and I can see me trying them very soon.

Made a holder 'thingy' for refilling, without removing from the box.
10 minutes, a plastic can side and a pair of scissors. Just makes it easier to fit and stops it waggling about. Slides on from the top.
32mm if you fancy a go.

Looks good, you are refilling through the tap?
I take the tap off and refill through the opening and then put the bag back in the box. But this approach does require holding throughout.
How do you wash the bags and sanitise if you don't disassemble?

Found this..
Bag in Box BIB Connector Black Easy Way to Refill Transfer or Empty Boxed Wine Bags https://amzn.eu/d/0FpyDLM
For me BIB is a convenience option, why make your life hard by taking them apart every time & all the risks that presents. TBH mine don't come apart well. So I have always filled through the tap with a rubber adapter.
My real change is to try using them for beer.
I will wash out with water, and store with a splash of vodka. The original 'no rinse' sanitiser

Interesting, I see they fill with the tap out but the frame supports the bag well enough that it can have the tap rammed back in.
