I saw a little nylon mesh zip bag in an Asian bargain shop. It's meant for washing ladies' delicate undies. I threw a few pellets in, zipped it up and dropped it in some boiling water. Unfortunately the mesh is just a little too open, and a lot of the dissolved hop particles passed through it easily. Doubt the nylon would handle a long boil.

Spoze I can wash my knickers in it? Should make them smell better.
 
Worried the frilly lace will get spoilt by the machine?

Target or any other store sell finer weave delicates bags, or just use preboiled pantyhose.
 
There's a discussion on this thread about how to make hop bags for the boil. I'll be making some myself for my next batch

EDIT: yay! it worked!
