Hello,
I am seriously considering buying a 1 micron filter to get clearer beer. Now I know there is a lot of debate whether this is a worthy goal or if filtering is even the best technique to do this, I have considered many differing opinions and I"m still keen
I do have some reservations though...
I have read that filtering through a 1 micron filter will leave enough yeast that it's still practical to bottle carbonate the beer. Does this affect bottle conditioning/maturation? I have always thought that residual yeast is very helpful for improving bottle conditioned beer during maturation, does minimising the residual yeast slow or hinder this process?
