Re: Hop Sock
Yesterday I picked up a large nylon mesh bag to make a hop spider..not sure exactly what you're looking for, but I think they had smaller versions of those bags too.
*Not my hop spider, but similar*

Re: Hop Sock
Yep, I got it from the one in Clayton Park. It was labeled "Nylon Straining Bag" large size. $5.99
It's about the size of a fermenting bucket

Re: Hop Sock
Those paint straining bags are available at Kent, HD, HH, etc. as well. Similar price I believe.

Re: Hop Sock
They are. I went to Home Depot, Kent & Rona, but only Kent had them. The bags at Kent are quite a bit smaller than those at Noble Grape..I'd say about half the size.jeffsmith wrote:Those paint straining bags are available at Kent, HD, HH, etc. as well. Similar price I believe.

Re: Hop Sock
I use the ones at keg for dry hopping in the keg.
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.
