Going to do my first BIAB this weekend and wanted to know if anyone has tried using any natural fiber materials/bags like tight nit burlap, meslin, cotton, etc. for a grain/mashing bag. The recomended material for BIAB is nylon voile cloth but I'm trying to elimanted as much plastic from touching my beer as possible. The catch is that the material has to also be strong enough to hold wet grain. Has anyone noticed any change in the flavor of their beer using natural fiber bags like burlap? Thanks.
