RichardE Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Ok, i am going to ask a dumb question to get to a more technical one... If i was to brew in a Coopers kit then siphon into a 23L keg and force the Beer (Golden Goodness) through a .35 micron in line filter into a second 23L keg, would the filter be so fine that it would remove all the yeast ? Is this why people use CO2 to carbonate kegged beer ? as opposed to a second fermentation ? Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB2 Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 The filter may become clogged?? Craftbrewer sell filters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardE Posted September 9, 2010 Author Share Posted September 9, 2010 Dear Guru, Does a .35 micron beer filter remove yeast or is yeast particles finer than that ? Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andris Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 IMHO filtering might be a tad of a pain in the lower back - fine filters take huge surfaces and filtering rate is slow and you get it clogged, having said that I would dump it into secondary fermenter (a max 20$ worth plastic bucket with an airlock vs filter that is unusable after one batch?) to clear out if I really had to, would not bother with filters at home - sanitation, exposure to oxygen and general mess might be an extra "bonus" to that. As for CO2 and kegs - you start to carbonate when you start drinking - at some point, beer just wont come out of a keg unless you 1) open lid 2) add some CO2 into it.
