I went and bought a mesh laundry bag
but the bottom is nylon..
was wondering if nylon could withstand 170degree temps

Should be OK.

Just don't try and PC it!

It will work fine. I've used those types of bags before, though I past. at about 140 degrees.

thanks you guys
It worked just fine
at 165 degrees F
turns out the melting point for nylon is like 400 degrees or something

Off topic: odd you should say that freaky, i was arguing with doobs about
how 140of isnt enough to pasteurize anything.

Actually, 140 degrees is enough. "Pasteurization: A process by which bulk materials are partially sterilized by contact with live steam, hot water or dry heat at temperatures between 140- 160 degrees F for 1 to 1.5 hour.
cold pasteurization may also be done using hydrated lime or bleach ."

Yes, I like to keep the past. temp at 140 and not go higher than 160. Rarely I let it over 150, and thats if I'm not paying attention.

i usually have my water sitting at 165, then i throw the straw in and some boiling water to keep things level
and then i let it sit there for an hour and some and its usually down to 140-145 by then and i pull er oot!
