I can't believe that nobody has written a review for Hot Fill Bags yet. These things are great! You have to use your head though unless you want to get burned. I have fitted a used hot-fill cap with a cam-lock connector and I put the bags in a plastic tub before filling them so I can move them safely even if they are pretty plump. I connect a silicon hose from my kettle ball valve to the back and slowly fill it up leaving my trub cone un-disturbed. I also wear insulated gloves when I swap the cam-lock cap for the other cap. The pasturized wort keeps for weeks. The cap with the camlock and a sanitized hose goes back on to help get it into the fermentor without spilling.

Are these reusable?
They are supposed to be. But honestly I’ve never tried. They’re so inexpensive I didn’t feel it was worth the trouble to clean and sanitize them.
If you didn't handle them roughly rinsed them out well and maybe sanitized them I don't see any reason why you couldn't successfully hot- fill them again but they are so inexpensive it isn't worth the trouble. I would say the same thing about condoms.
Is the stated volume (5.2 gallons) the sum of all 10 bags (i.e. half-gallon per bag) or is the stated volume 5.2 gallons PER BAG?
That is per each bag. They get to be really heavy and a little hard to handle so you may not want to fill them to the absolute max capacity.
Each bag is 5 gallons.
