4.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for containing hops while brewing beer!, February 27, 2010

I recently purchased two of these to contain hops while brewing beer (during the boil). They have a durable locking design and the 5" size will hold up to ~6 oz of wet (expanded) pellet hops. Significantly more durable and free-flowing than nylon bags.

My only complaint is the short-ish chain. A six inch longer chain would make this product worthy of a 5 star rating.

1.0 out of 5 stars Mesh Tea ball fell apart on the third useage., May 28, 2010

I purchased this stainless steel tea ball to use in my brine for pickling. They have to be stainless steel - apparently this one was not, as after the third time I used it it fell apart in my hands while getting it open to dump the spices. The sides totally came apart. I do not recommend this to anyone using spices and vinegar in a brine.

I was disappointed because the "mesh" was so corse that the loose leaf tea passed thru and I had to restrain before drinking. Purchased a smaller one from another vendor.
