Whats the best size filter to filter beer (from one keg into another keg under pressure)? 1 micron or .35 micron?
hi Bugglz,Whats the best size filter to filter beer (from one keg into another keg under pressure)? 1 micron or .35 micron?
I'm thinking of buying a filter setup and have heard that the .35 micron strips flavour.
Does anyone disagree with this?
I disagree. Im filtering my beers since about two years now and I wont miss it anymore.I'm thinking of buying a filter setup and have heard that the .35 micron strips flavour.

Flavour is an individual thing, if someone likes the flavour of floating debris and dead yeast cells, voil dont filter
I agree with Zwickle , but its a personal thing. I run a 0.8 um Pall filter and it takes beers to crystal clear (after isinglass) but I think 1 um is all you need for home brewing. Zwickel has the advantage of buying a load of really nice filters at a good price, lucky man.Making a weizen (no filter) to his recipe this weekend.YumI disagree.

[...] the fermented beer in a multi-stage filter setup (1um absolute, 0.35 nominal and 0.5 nominal) and I'm yet to taste much of a difference. It produces crystal clear beer but I still suffer occasionally from chill haze. I don't use finings or Polyclar although I probably should for the chill haze problem.
I always chill the beer before filtering but find the keg will display chill haze after 2 days or so after filtering. Whatever it is, it's not being caught by the 3-stage filter. [...]
Do you flood the filter setup with CO2 before? Because literature sometimes says chill haze could be caused by oxygenation.
I don't flood the filters with CO2 because there isn't much air to react with.
it depends on how you define effectiveness.So it sounds like the 0.35 nominal probably has about the same effectiveness as a 1 micron absolute then?
Is anyone using the 0.35 and filtering by gravity? I'm considering getting one but I'm worried it might need to have some CO2 pressure to force it through.
