I went to my local spotlight yesterday (Wollongong) on search for swiss voile. I looked around for 15mins but couldn't find it. So I asked the lady at the counter where they keep it. She said they don't stock swiss voile, "it would be very high quality and prohibitively expensive".
Istead she sold me some other voile. ("bohemian voile" comes to mind but I think I'm mixing my textiles with my beers.. figuratively.. not literally yet). It looks like calico and says it's 100% cotton .
After further research (eg. here: http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/inde...ic=29970&hl=) I'm thnking cotton won't work and I need 100% polyester? The BIAB instructions mention "100% swiss voile", but that doesn't specify what the 100% means. 100% nylon? 100% cotton? 100% polyester? 100% swiss?
Now does anybody know of another material that will work since they don't sell swiss voile in wollongong and I'm not about to drive to Bondi to buy $6 of fabric? Surely someone's had good experiences with other materials right?
Thanks, and sorry for the boring question.
