What to use as container material for ingredients

[Brewberosa]

What do people use to hold their alternative ingredients in the FV? I am familiar with people using muslin bags but I am not sure what size/strength would be necessary to stop bits falling out? What about nylon bags, are they anygood?

Nylon bags are well suited for use in the FV. They can be boiled and/or sanitized fairly effectively and they last a long time as long as you don't get them in bleach. I suggest that using a nylon sack that is oversized to the amount of ingredient you are using, will allow the ingredients and wort to intermingle better.

Great. Where would I find them? What sort of firm supplies them?

Paint strainer bags at the hardware store. Easy, and usually come in 1 gallon and 5 gallon.
