If your job is to sell beer then filtering is a good idea.. The majority of the world likes to be abel to see through there beer. It could be a Amber ,Pilsner or a Nut Brown ale, the majority like's bright beer!

Why filter out all those wonderful things? Turbid worts should be returned to the tun to be filtered by the grist until it runs bright. Same goes for the first runnings from the copper which should be returned to be filtered by the hop bed. Protein Haze is often a product of poor quality malt and some is thrown through excessive chilling. Not a good situation anyway as ice cold beer = no taste.

@justreadthemanual

Chill haze isn't necessarily caused by of poor quality malt but improper mashing of certain malts i.e. low modified pilsner . Some malts need a protein rest at 120-130F.

This is hop "redoo"!

It isnt "necessary" to filter beer, but it can help. Maybe not in the way you are talking about. An 80mm micron filter will help. Or just rack it after about 4 days fermentation. This process will remove sediment, not flavour, vitamns etc. Generally the process of filtering is only for clarity in your beer.

I don't filter any of my beers. Sounds bizzare to me! I use issinglass finings in the cask and 2 million parts per cubic cm of yeast goes in the cask. Once laid down or stillaged the beer will drop bright with 8 hours. If you added nothing it would clear on its own within 4 days or so. Filtering, pasteurising, sleralising etc knocks all the flavour and character out of beer. Chilling to 10 degrees centigrade for 36 hours wil also allow most of the yeast to drop out.

filter out protein, hop resin, yeast. Why? that is the good part of beer, minerals and vitamins in yeast, flavor in hops, protein is good for you. polyphenols are good for you. beer should not be crystal clear, that is just a marketing tool. home brewers know what i am talking about. a home brew vs commercial beer. there is no comparison, home brew wins hands down, it is the best. real beer

[moomar1]

And the yeasty bit in the bottom of the bottle is where all the kick is lol

[afrothunder78]

I just swap it from carboy to carboy. Sure you have to clean everytime but the ending result is (i think) better.

[oldpappymgellianthet]

You mix your beer with fucking dirt? Are you a retard? why would you filter beer unless you want shit? listen, DO NOT FILTER BEER, just let it sit and it will clear on its own. no need to fuck with it, let it do its own thing.

[dubuquestar1552]

apparently you know nothing about brewing. d.e filter is consist of small diatoms which is fossilized hard shell algae it is used for a filtration aid in the brewing industry.

[oldpappymgellianthet]

yeah thats why commercial beer taste really bad, If you had ever drank a homebrew you would know what I am talking about.

[trabus]

For homebrewing, it really isn't necessary to filter, but diatomaceous earth is a pretty common filtering agent, and not 'dirt' as you claim.

[oldpappymgellianthet]

there is no reason to filter beer. unless you want to take all the flavor out of it and some of the vitamins.

A course plate filter from corni keg to corni keg at low psi. they are around 70 bucks at a brew shop

[3ltomo]

Is there a way someone can think of to filter home brew beer a little bit simpler?

[pdxjules]

@3ltomo Respond to this video...Most Home Brewers clarify our Brew without a Filter. METHODS: Whirlfloc or Irish Moss the last 10 mins of the boil. Before transfer to fermenter, stir in 1-direction to create a Whirlpool then let heavy bits settle to bottom of the pot. Cool, & STRAIN wort to carboy. When fermentation is done, yeast, husks & proteins mostly drop. Siphon to sanitized glass carboy (w/ airlock) for 2ndary fermentation. Allow for time! If needed, cool, add Polyclar before bottling.
