Beer Filtration System

This filtration system allows you to push beer between two cornelius style kegs to clarify your final product more quickly. The filter and disconnects (DISCONNECTS ARE OPTIONAL) connect to the 3' beer lines on each side with a stainless steel MFL connection making the line multifunctional. The 1 micron filter can only be used once so we have an option to buy additional filters.

Kegs, CO2 tank and regulator and gas lines are available separately.

Add the 9-7/8 Stainless Steel Filtration Unit to transform your filter into a randall!

Does the job; included filter ruins beer

Echoing the other reviews. It does work as a filter, but the included filter media has made the whole batch taste like plastic. Should definitely find another model of filter.

Solid Housing, Suspect Cartridge

Have to agree with previous reviewer. The filter housing is sturdy and simple, no leaks. But my beer came out with a nasty cleaning-solution taste. (I had soaked the cartridge in Star-San and then rinsed with water.) I can't entrust another batch to this cartridge. Anyone know of a good alternative cartridge?

Good and bad

The parts and filter body are sturdy and not cheaply made. However do not use the filter that comes with it. I ran tap water through the system for 15 minutes and then soaked the filter in starsan for an hour to let it soak in. The filter smelled less chemically but still had an odor. Filtered a batch of heavily dry hopped IPA that tasted great prior to filtering. The IPA came out crystal clear but it had a huge after taste like I had just taken a bite out of the poly filter itself. Dumped the whole batch.

Q: I had a keg hopping screen cylinder break open in a newly kegged beer and all the dissolved pelleted hops are now loose in tge beer, clogging my lines. Would this work to filter out the hop muck?

Asked by: Ken Kaucic - 2/28/2019

A: This system could be used to filter out pellet hop matter before reaching a tap so long as the hop particles do not clog the line leading to the filter

Q: The filters this come with says to flush the filter with water for 10 minutes (around there) before using. I this needed? Previous comment noted that the filters are sterile packaged so just sanitizing the canister is all you need.

Asked by: Adam Joyce - 2/20/2019

A: The filters are sterile when packaged but may still have some small material fibers that would need to be rinsed away prior to putting the filter to use. More of a peace of mind practice but is up to the end user to perform if they prefer

Q: Would soaking the filter filter and housing in star san be sufficient or is it recommended to push star san through it. My main concern is how much beer is lost when the star san is all the way pushed out.

Asked by: Adam Joyce - 2/3/2019

A: The filters are sterile packed from the manufacturer but otherwise could be precleaned with sanitizer prior to its first use for the filter, and the filter housing pre-rinsed with star san before filling but would not need to be filled with starsan before pumping the beer through

Q: How many gallons can be filtered through one filter cartridge?

Asked by: Terry Coleman - 1/8/2019

A: This will be based on soil load and sediment left in the finished product. We dont have a general rule of thumb to follow in that regard but have had brewers use them in the 30-35 gallon range for a single pass would good results on a lighter beer

Q: The answer to one question indicates that this can be used as a hop back but another states that it is not intended to be used hotside. So, can I use this with the stainless steel filter to run hot wort from my kettle after the boil through some hops before I chill the wort ? Thanks.

Asked by: John Ottarson - 11/10/2018

A: this can be used as a beer hop infuser but would be intended for cold side use and not rated for hot wort to be used for filtering from the kettle

Q: Does this unit have the ability to handle hot wort direct from the boil kettle without damaging it?

Asked by: Jeff - 2/10/2018

Q: hi ... I am looking for something to filter my beer and mead. I dont want disposable. I dont have any Co2 equipment. (yet) So ive been using gravity from my blichmman kettle into my fermentor and then using a autosiphon from there into my bottles. I then have been using carbonation drops in each bottle. I have no pump. So.. my question is.. What do i did in total so i can use this (or similar product) to filter from fermentation (primary or 2ndary) into bottles? I do not mind if i need to pump my wort into another container before bottling. but i want to filter the beer and mead before it goes into the bottles. Second question. if i use a filter like this will teh carb drops then be useless? (as the yeast may be completely filtered out) ?

Asked by: Terry L Remsik - 9/18/2017

A: This unit uses one time use 1 micron filters in conjunction with a pressurized keg connected to another keg to filter. We recommend the use of CO2 and kegs to push the beer through this filter. As for the carbonation drops, we recommend putting these in the beer after it has run through the filter. Thanks for the question!

Q: could this unit also be used as a hop-back? seems as if fruit infusion could be done with the stainless screen, why not hops

Q: I am confused about the filters. Are these throw away or stainless steal. Can you tell me about both? and provide links to both? Thank you, TOm

Asked by: Thomas Wendeln - 7/26/2017

A: We do offer both a paper 1 micron disposable filter and a stainless reuseable filter as wlel. The paper filters are used more for filtering out particulate before bottling a finished beer or wine and the stainless filter serves better to use the filter as an infuser for fruit or coffee beans for example. http://www.homebrewing.org/Mid-Grade-1-Micron-Filter_p_4562.html

Q: Do you have an activated carbon filter that will fit this housing? I would like to remove the Chlorine from my water with it and also filter my beer with it. Thanks

Asked by: Phil Bryan - 12/5/2016

A: We do not provide a Carbon filter that would pair directly with this unit at this time, but these are a pretty common sized filter, so a carbon filter should be on the market that would work with it.

Q: I know this system is supposed to be ran under CO2 from keg to keg. But couldnt you still get the same results going from your conical fermenter, through this, into a keg using gravity?

Asked by: Thomas Barratt - 8/2/2016

A: This system will function best when under pressure. The gravity feed would be a slow flow if at all.
