It's just nylon, right? Maybe boil it for a while and see if it discolors your water, as there could very well be inks or dyes that would be released into your wort. Easy to notice in clear water, not so much in a brown wort.
Not really sure though... My only experience with panty hose is in it's removal, and I'm not even very good at that.

Heh, well, it was a neat idea. Stranger things have been thought up under the influence of our favorite beverage.
I'm still hoping to combine meat, vegetables, pasta, and beer all in one bottle. It could totally replace food as we know it!

Panty hose hop bags and toilet paper pipes are in the same category.
BTW - I had a dream about Forrest last night and I've never met him. Weird he would post today. It was a pretty odd dream involving a bus and I can not think of any beer related issues. hmmmmmm

Just soak them in bleach first, that will get rid of any dies. I use them all the time and they work great for hop bags.

I've always thought about this. You could divvy out the hop additions into the hose and drop them in when its time.
Thats the way I do it. I just put what ever amount I need in ea. (sock as I call them now), and add them to the boil as the times call for.

I used knee-highs for years with no issues. I always tried to get the ones without dye, but even if they did have it I didn't worry about it. I even got used to going out and buying them without making SWMBO get them for me. But I like the paint stainer bags better now- they're reusable, and it's easier to add the second and third hop additions.
