Need good info on biab types/sizes

Fellow Brewers

I've decided to go BIAB for my next beer. I like the concept and want to see how different the beer tastes before I go full out all grain.

Thus, I have exhausted my search capabilities and have yet to find a good resource on where/ what size of nylon or muslin bags to buy. Need some experienced folks to assist me on this purchase since I live in Italy and must purchase online.

Please help!

This is what I've used for quite a while now. Nylon Extra Large Straining Bag- 2' x 3'- Coarse Mesh

Basically if it fills your pot with room to spare (latching it on to the edge) it's good to go.

Awesome... that size is larger than I calculated. Thanks!

House painters in Italy must strain their pain. Check a local hardware/paint supply store for nylon bags. Here we use 5 gallon bags there must be a metric bag out there in Italy.

I bought my bag here:
Order a Bag - Brew in a Bag

Excellent construction.

For Europeans I can second Custom BIAB bags.

CustomBIAB Brew Bags

Just supply them with your boiler dimensions and they will manufacture a bag to fit. I have one, they are good quality and look like they will last a good number of brews.

Cheers.

wilserbrewer here at HBT makes awesome bags that fit your kettle like a glove. At least he did a few months ago.

If you are not buying one ready made, you want to look for voile fabric and get it sewed with 100% nylon thread.

A voile curtain is cheap and works well. I didn't sew it but just use binder clips to hold it in place on my kettle. I also fold it in half to get double the filtering.
