I needed nylon bags for a 8 gallon batch of peach banana wine. Stopped in Lowes & for $7 bought a 2 pack of bluehawk brand nylon paint strainer bags that fit perfectly in 5 gallon primary buckets with enough extra length to go over the top lip or tie in a knot.
Today I pitched the yeast and started pondering that my primary buckets are clearly labelled as food grade but no clue about these nylon strainer bags.
Are these "disposable nylon paint strainer bags" going to have a negative effect on my 24 pounds of peaches turning into award winning wine?
Are the more expensive bags sold by the LHBS "special for winemakers" to resist the acids & alcohol? Or are they just a high mark up item that is made at the same plastics factory as my paint strainer bags?
Does anyone have knowledge on this issue?
Thanks - Mark
