Large Grain Bags

[Salanis]

I'm looking for a large 24" x 24" grain/hop back for partial mash brewing as per the method stickied at the top of the page.

Both LHBS shops do not have bags that size in stock. One says they normally carry them, but haven't had any in stock for a while. I don't really feel like paying shipping from an online shop for a $5 item.

What sort of bag could I get where that would be the equivalent? I figure this is just a large nylon or muslin bag.

Many people use 5 gallon paint strainer bags.

Paint strainer bags! That's what I was looking for. I presume I can get those at OSH or Home Despot.

yeah, they definitely sell them at paint stores (ie. Duron, etc). They are less than a dollar at paint stores, but homebrew stores sell them for about 6 bucks!
