Diy BIAB bag

[dogslapbrewery]

I have a 20g mega kettle and I'm starting to discover that to purchase a bag its going to cost around 25-30 dollars. So decided to craft one instead and looking into the fabric it would seem everyone goes for Voile fabric either nylon or polyester. Only thing I found locally is this 64% poly, 36% cotton voile fabric?? Would host be fine having cotton in the mix??

I'd spend $7 at More Beer

Not Sure how the cotton would do for cleaning. I live in a small town that only has a dollar store and I found a sheer curtain panel that was 100% polyester for $5. Sewed it up myself almost 2 years ago and it's still working fine.

i found the voile fabric at joann's and had to teach myself to sew. While brewing i sqeezed the bag and ripped it, so i had to reinforce the bag and not squeeze it so much, more like let it drip for a while. then i had to do sew a cone at the bottom so the drips where at the bottom instead of making a mess with a flat bottom by missing the kettle. Good luck. I also made a hop spider bag and a dry hopping bag as well as a second biab bag.
