Hi guys,
I would like to add my bit if I may.
I took Ross's advice and phoned Pure rain in Bris and had a 1 micron absolute and a .35 micron absolute sent down to me on the trusty Aussie post.
I had 46 litres of Aussie ale to do the test and so this is what I did. BTW this beer had been in cc for 1 week.
I first run the beer through the 1 micron absolute and there was a marked difference ( I would say really clear) and if this was not a test then I would have just gassed it and enjoyed it.
I then ran the beer through the .35 absolute and it came out excellent.
I had put the results in three middy (SA schooner) glasses indicating the samples from each process.
I decided not to take pics because my results were as Ross had said and I figured that others would achieve the same result.
The beer I filtered was just a Powells ale malt with a tad of Munich and wheat and a Nottingham yeast.
I will post a pic of the filtered result as I will be gassing that beer tomorrow.
The info Ross gave as far as cleaning the filter cartridges was also spot on as mine came out like new after the nappy san treatment.
The next beer I will put through the filter is an Alt which is lagering at the moment and will be ready in two weeks time.
The thing I need to assess is the life of these absolute filters and that result will only be obtained over a period of time.
I am very pleased with the first result.
Cheers
