This bag worked well for containing my crab apples when making wine. The mesh is very fine so no chunks can work its way through. I should have ordered one about double the width but made it work. I was worried when cleaning it but used some brewer's cleaning powder and poof all pink stains and smell went away. There is no tie string so you have to provide that. This worked well and seems of good quality that will last. I would recommend this and even a larger size also.
