I've got a small kegging setup with 19L Cornelius Ball-lock Kegs...
I've also acquired one of these babies http://www.craftbrewer.com.au/shop/details.asp?PID=720 which I've yet to use for beer (gimme a week until I'm home and I'll be there).
I also do a lot of 'experimental' medieval brews, and some of them involve macerating herbs,spices and other bits and bobs in strong ale, mead, or aquavitae. And although I can strain out the 'bits', to get decent clarity involves using coffee filters (slow, pain in the arse, infection risk), I was wondering if I could strain out the bits, throw them into a tiny keg and then push them through this filter.
The things I'm worry about is:
1) where can I get some small kegs?
2) what pressure should I be forcing the filtration through with small volumes
3) how much wastage will I get left behind in the filter basket and if it's significant, how can I minimize it.
