I have a Wilser bag with many brew sessions on it, and it's still good as new. When I recently got a second pot, it was time for a second Wilser bag. The new bag came with a cord lock on the drawstring that holds the bag on the pot rim. Ingenius! I've since added a cord lock to the old bag. Just thought I'd mention this for anyone who is currently using clips or some other semi-elaborate way to secure the bag.
 
I really do just need to break down and but a bag from him. I made one for my 30g pot about a month ago out of some old curtains. When I pulled it and started squeezing, hanging from my step ladder, I got a small tear and quickly moved it to the side. It split wide open as soon as I did and made a giant mess on my deck but none in the wort.

Last week I went to the fabric store and bought some voila to make a new bag, but when I went to sew it up the sewing machine gave me fits.

I still made beer but I had to use my MLT. Stuck sparge of course, total of 3 hours to get wort into the BK.

What a headache! Yeah, I'd definitely go with a Wilser bag. I've seen nothing but glowing reviews about them.

Once you do you'll kick yourself for not getting one sooner! ;)

Haha, you got that right.....I run four thread machines, and when they go awry it ain't pretty.....making bags is easy, fixing machines not so much!!!

The cord lock is a great feature, very easy to secure the bag on the kettle.

No more clamps or binder clips required :)
