Would any use a plastic cable tie for a dry hop muslin .
I found some in the garage and thought they'd be best for keeping the sack of marbles down with the muslin of hops. Or would this pose a risk ?
Any thoughts be great
 
As long as it is sanitized it would be fine. Thick nylon fishing line would be better then you could pull the bag back out after dry hopping time is up.

Would have thought cable ties are not foodgrade plastic,why should they be? I'd err on the safe side myself,use dental floss a quid a cartridge at poundland,that's what I used to use until I got SS perforated containers
