OK. I tried my own variation on the hop spider with my last brew. I loved the results.
When finished I cleaned my paint strainer bag and wanted to dry it completely before putting it away fearing mold.
I stretched it over my brew kettle as shown in the picture.
What followed was one of those hand-to-forehead moments. Why don't I just use it this way instead of using the hop spider at all. seems like utilization would be better too.
What do you guys think?

Sorry for think link, I can't seem to get pictures to show properly.
I figure as long as I can keep the bag from resting on the bottom of the kettle, I should be fine.
