Brewing With Nylon?

[mb83]

Hi,

I bought a a nut and olive set tonight and the olive supplied was nylon.
Is this ok to brew with? Can it take the heat?

You mean going into the boil? It's doubtful it can take the heat

Yep, all day every day for a fair fraction of forever!

Nylon doesnt melt until 190C, and is immune to a huge range of chemicals, not too good with strong acids tho, Sulphuric and Hydrochloric particularly.

Use them in kettles all the time.
