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*

Yeah, that's what I was looking for. Was that from NG?

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

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

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.

Good point. I was buying mine for my 12gal kettle opposed to a keggle so I only needed the 5 gal size.
