I just recently received a beer filter from Craftbrewer. This one to be precise http://www.craftbrewer.com.au/shop/details.asp?PID=720
I tried to do gravity filter, but got no-where. grabbed an empty keg, decanted into that and started under very low pressure ~10kpa to push hte beer through.
2 problems:
1) I have the filter like this http://www.craftbrewer.com.au/userfiles/im...it-complete.JPG and have about 1 inch of air/co2 in the top. I turned it over, and purged until liquid came out, flipped it back, and same problem. Don't know if this is normal or not.
2) there is about 6 inches of head in the receiving keg. Currently sealed both kegs and turned off the gas to let it settle so I can transfer the rest.
some possibly important info.
It is lager that was brewed at 10c and then cold conditioned at 4c for 2 weeks, thus there is a decent amount of carbonation in the beer.
Whilst I am transferring, the second keg is open to the air, figuring having it sealed would not alolow a lower pressure, and thus no transfer.
Any ideas? Is this normal, is there a solution ?
thanks,
Mredgy
