Thinking of going BIAB for my next brew as DME is just stupidly expensive compared to grain.

I brew on the kitchen hob in a ~20L pot - would this http://www.geterbrewed.ie/sparging-bag-for-peco-boiler-for-biab/ be way too big to use (think the pot is about 33cm wide by 22 cm deep)?

Looks pretty big but it shouldn't matter if you put a colander or something at the bottom of the kettle

For the record, I eventually went with this https://www.thehomebrewcompany.ie/ritchies-large-nylon-straining-bag-fine-p-819.html
and it was the perfect size for the pot - there was enough slack that I could push it down into the edges and also fold it over the lip and secure in place with lid while mashing.
