i need some help here with a reuseable or disposable grain/hop boiling bag. i bought a nice 8.5" x 9.5" bag from austin homebrew, and used it once. my roommate also used it once and mistakably and unknowingly threw it away (idiot). unfortunately we did not realize this mishap until after we ordered our $60+ order form austin. so now, instead of paying $12 bucks to quickly mail a new bag, we need an alternative solution to this problem.
things that i have heard before:
-reusing the muslin bag provided for the bag
-nylon pantyhose
are there any other tricks that people use to boil their hops? i'm not interested in straining my wort into the primary because i use hop pellets (i thought i heard that the pellets are a nightmare to strain because the paste clogs the strainer). i wont be brewing my next batch until midnext week, so i have time to hunt something down... but i wont be ordering from a HBS (and lafayette has no LBHS).
danke in advance!
