Well I did an ale brew recently using a yeast (American Ale II) that just plain refuses to drop out regardless of having been at 0 degrees for 3 weeks now. And while I was standing there noticing that my very expensive to run commercial fridge is already starting to develop condensation on it's (supposedly double glazed) doors, I came to the conclusion that cc'ing my beers over summer is going to be a costly affair. As it was I relegated this fridge to ferment fridge to reduce the amount of time it spends running to minimise the scarey power bills that appeared when I got it.
I've played around with a pleated filter cartridge in the water filter housing, and despite everyone else mentioning really good results, the first time I tried it, it filtered literally nothing out of the beer. Then I managed to block it up completely with the next try. Then I managed to bump too much pressure through it and perforated the filter paper. So all in all, not a good run, I think I must be too rough or too impatient or something :huh:
So anyway, I've been checking out a little plate filter, and today it arrived....
Retail therapy. Gotta love it. No more cloudy beers for me.
