Made and tried out my pre keg filter today.
Not too bad. Bought a pope in-line irrigation filter with 13mm/19mm barbs. This has two screw on ends with a removable plastic filter inside.Fairly fine.
Purchase 1m of 12.5mm vinyl tubing and 2 x 13mm plastic irrigation clamps.
Connect the top of the filter to approx 15cm of tube - clamp.
Connect the rest of the tube to the bottom and clamp.
Sanitise unit and keg with boiling water.
This racking tube fits very neatly over the fermenter tap.
Remove Fermenter lid and open tap to rack beer through racking tube and inline filter into keg.
This inline filter removes most of the hops from dry hoping in the secondary. It's surprising how much stuff is filtered out.
I initially tride it with some cheese cloth inserted at the bottom screw in - after the plastic filter. It clogged up within 20secs.
Now if i was presurising this - it might still have worked - not with just gravity though.
Remove and clean the plastic filter when finished.
To remove hops that could clog up your keg ball locks - this works a treat. .
and for under $10.00...makes a home brewer happy.
I don't know - Homebrewers and their gadgets.....
Will post results next weekend when i try the OatKenny Kegged Ale - OCCA for short.
