I was at the hardware store trying to come up with a better idea than using a paint strainer bag over my syphon to filter out hop particles when going to my bottling bucket and happened to come across some nylon mesh lint traps that you use on a washing machine.

Almost seems to good to be true. They just about perfectly slide over a autosyphon like a condom. Has anyone used them before? The mesh isn't fine like a paint strainer bag so I was hoping it would end up being less bubbly. Even doubling up looks like it would work out fine as well it it didn't get enough filtration, especially since they come in a 2 pack.
