i do my bubblebagging in the kitchen and found you can pull a drawer out a bit then hang the bag on a corner to drain...this is where a 2nd bucket (even a 3rd if doing large quantities) comes in handy.

the stuff left at the bottom of the bucket can be dried thru evaporation leaving a crust that can be scraped and spread on j's like skuff. not the best quality but still has the flavor and works well enuff to keep, imho...
