Sure! And knee-hi's for small amounts of hops. They make nice grainbags too.
Just don't use the "colored" ones that are dyed. Unless you like white or blue wort.

Yep, but dont tell my wife thats where they all went!
I use them with pellet hops. I get the queen size knee highs from walmart for $.33/pair. I usually make 2 or 3 bags from each sock. I use them in the boil kettle and to dry hop in the keg. Once I filled one up with blueberries to make blueberry wine.
Oh, the QUEEN size knee highs?!? That was YOU in Wal-Mart?
All I saw was a slightly overweight guy buying them up. And he was kinda cute in a big beer drinker kind of way. I don't judge, as they'd have probably fit him.
But now I realize they must have been for BREWING! I get it now!!!!!!

Does that really work? I'm always clogging my kettle valve filter when I use pellet hops.

Yeah, that sound's like me, only you left out old and bald!
Works like a charm. Most of vegetal matter remains in the bag and I get a little bit of hop 'silt' in the bottom of the kettle. I don't use a filter.

Bringing this old post back to life with a simple question. Which ones arent the "colored" kind? The brown ones? Sorry I have no knowledge of Pantyhose lol.

i use black ones and never had a problem. i don't boil them though, as some do. just throw them in starsan.

Thanks
I don't starsan.. wouldn't know why.. They are going in the boil. I use the complete waist high ph's.. whatever doesn't have a run in it. I get hop bag out of the bottoms of them.. say from the ankle to the toe. Tie a knot at the bottom of the ankle cut and make another cut at the top of the leg and use that for a grain bag.. or cut somewhere about mid thigh so you can tie a knot at the bottom of the 'body' part and you have a big grain bag.. that would work well for a BIAB for small volumes of grain.. really o work well, IMO and it's really kinda great recycling some of my wife's ph's for beer.. It makes her feel 'part of the process' 
I'm actually going to be using them to hold 2# of toasted coconut I'm adding to secondary. Seems they should do just fine.

i didnt mean using it in the boil, i meant boiling to sanitize to be used in a secondary for dry hops or whatever. i do not do this, i use starsan. i heard of people boiling them and some of the color comes oit in the boil water.

Hearing that makes me want to get a muslin bag. I'm assuming you'd have noticed off flavors from using the PH by now though.
Great suggestion...
Question, can you still wear them after? I can imagine they would attract a beer loving sort of person!
