Gday Brewmates,
Ive made many attempts recently to filter my beer.
Finally I do as follows:
Take an empty keg and preload it with the same CO2-Pressure as a full one.
Connect both CO2 valves with eachother.
The beer tube is leading from the full one to a pump, to the filter and then to the empty keg.
Just switch on the pump and the beer runs from the one to the other keg, very clear and without losing any CO2.
Ceramic filters sound a good option. Can you post a pic? How much are they? Are they easy to clean?
Anyone every tried a 3um filter? Most of texts I've read recommend this level of filtering to remove yeast and other particles, cleaning up the beer.
Zwikel, why do you use a pump, when you can just run the beer through the filter by pressure differential? Is it to keep the beer carbonated? Sorry, I just don't like pumping beer around to much and was curious as to why you use a pump.

Im not sure, think it works progressive. Even if the surface is not as large as the one of the pleated, I was able to transfer 60L beer in one time, thats just a batch Ive made.The ceramic filters being solid, don't appear to have too much surface area - Unless the beer is pretty clear in the first place I believe they would clog up pretty quick. Also how do they filter, is it by progressive reduction in hole size or do they filter just on the surface?
so far I didnt have any problem yet, looking forward how long I may use it.- If progressive they could prove a bugger to clean properly -
A pleated PET filter has a large surface area - approx 6 sq feet
& are easy to clean with just a teaspoon of napisan.
Can't personally see any advantages with the ceramic - are there any?
Hi Ross,
So I have to use what Im able to get here, please dont take it as a competition to your filter.
btw. the cell size of yeast can be between 2 to 5 m.
Cheers
I find your cell size far more believable than Darren's statement, as I said, a 5 micron filter is useless for beer filtering.
cheers Ross
[Anyhow, if you made your beer properly in the first place you would not need to filter it![]()
cheers
