Mesh strainer

How large of a mesh strainer do I need for a 5 gallon partial brew

Mine fits on the top of my bucket and brew pot, which is nice. If it is too small and you plan to filter out boiled hops, it can fill up quickly.

I use 5 gallon paint strainers from home depot. I fit 8 lbs of grain with plenty of room to spare. The home depot ones are stronger than lowes.

Edit: Did you mean for BIAB or to strain post boil?
