I came across an interesting product (http://www.mcmaster.com/#2837k14/=4w17ts) an PET expandable mesh that is heat resistant. It is inexpensive, easy to cut and work with, is expandable, and has a very nice braid pattern that won't easily damage. It is not food-grade, however, since its intended application is wire sleeving. However, PET is basically stable and inert, and the product literature says it is manufactured without the use of chemical additives.
I am considering using this to cover a slotted pipe in my mash tun to replace my old braid. It would basically provide the best of a manifold and a SS braid (e.g., rigidity and superior grainbed filtering).
Does anyone have any opinion about using this in a mash tun, or possibly even a boil kettle?
