Giant nylon bag for BIAB?

[sysera]

I wanna try my hand at all grain and I'm thinking BIAB would be a great solution for me.

Thinking about picking up a 15 gallon King Kooker kettle with the interior removal basket (Seems like it would be handy for BIAB, also would keep the bag off the bottom of the kettle) and a burner to give this a shot.

Where in the world can I find nylon bags big enough to work for something like this? I'd prefer not to buy material and sew my own, because I am hoooorrrible at sewing and lazy.

Any ideas where I can find a giant bag for this?

Mesh wine bag. They are about the size of a 7 gallon bucket. Just about all the online brewing stores carry them.

Cool, I did some poking and found some large stuff, using the mesh wine bag as a search term. Any idea whether I would benefit from fine vs. course for BIAB?

Cheers.

You could also try lining the basket with screen....I just did it this weekend. See my sig for Unibrew...

My head just exploded a little bit, haha. That is also a very cool idea indeed.

Yeah, it's a long thread....it takes you down many hallways of thought.

Bottom line....baskets are cool. :rockin:

You can grab some voile curtains at Target for $8 I think. They are large enough that I just lay them in my vessels, no sewing needed. Pull them out and rinse. A little ghetto, but it works.
