Evening! Trying to build a hop spider for boiling pellet hops. Would anyone know where I'd get a paint straining bag local to Belfast in a hurry? Tried b&q and a couple of small paint shops without any luck. Brewing tomorrow night and the muslin bags I have aren't cutting it so would like to give this a try. Isn't there some sort of curtain material people use instead? Anyone know what it's called- would you get it at that shop beside city hall?
Cheers
Voile is the name of the curtain material you're after. I've never been to Belfast but I'm sure ye have the stuff :-[
My wife goes to a material shop (paragon fabrics) on donegall pass which is good. Or there's one out at Kilroot (Craftswoman Fabrics & Products) which is bound to have something
Can't believe I logged in for some badass beer talk, to join a thread on soft furnishings!
Yep, The Spinning Mill on Donegal Square stock voiles.

Haha! My father-in-law summed it up perfectly when he said that if he dies and wakes up in a material shop he'll know he's gone to hell ;D

:D I'll have to remember that one.
I second Paragon on Donegal Pass. They do unbleached natural Muslin at a descent price. I've used it for hop bags loads of times (though my wife usually ends up stealing most of it). If you don't have time to stitch up a bag just cut a bigger square and tie it all together :)
Lads, can we draw the curtains on this thread, before the rest of the NHC sees?
"Material", "curtains", "voiles", "fabrics" and "unbleached natural muslin".........mmmmmmmmmmmm
No wonder Bazza has disowned us!
