Im planning my first all grain 5 gallon BIAB batch and I want to make sure I get the right bag for the job. So, here are some questions:
What size bag do you recommend for a 5 gallon all grain batch?
The nylon bags have the option of either fine or coarse mesh. Whats the purpose of the fine vs coarse mesh?
Are the paint strainer bags you can get at the hardware store nylon? If so, are they coarse or fine? Will they leech any flavors into my beer?
Ive heard that the muslin bags can fall apart, which I definitely want to avoid, so Im leaning towards nylon. I think nylon are also reusable, while muslin arent. I cant see an advantage to muslin except that maybe theyre cheaper, but it sounds like those ones at the hardware store are pretty darn cheap!
Thanks!
