A huge thanks for all of your videos from Germany!! I'm starting a Kombucha brewery here and these videos are really helping me understand all the steps in the brewing process
Thank you guys so much for this video! I've seen 1 plate filtration video from a small brewery before, they didn't go deep in depth on how these filters work & it looked so crazy and intimidating I had resolved myself to commit to another filtering method when the time comes to scale up my beer brewing - but this video was significantly more straight forward and simple that, while it still looks like a lot of work, it takes most of the intimidation out of using these filters. Thanks again!
Great info, probably one of the only licensed mead/wine makers I have seen who still use Star-San. But I love seeing so much familiar stuff on a larger scale.
You can filter it naturally by keeping the mash to rest for a week or so, the residues drop to the bottom and then you pump above it shows clear. I am afraid that filters can change or absorb the desired taste.
I've got the Mini Jet filter which is the baby brother of the first filter shown. It works great, but the filter pads are exorbitantly expensive. I haven't found an alternative pad. I now use a Harris filter that takes one Crystal-brite pad and looks like a flying saucer. It is gravity fed, but it does a great job. It is critically important that you de-gas your wine before adding a clearing agent. Filtration is only beneficial when your wine is already clear with zero sediment. Also, only bother polishing your wine if you are entering a competition or giving your wine away to someone you love.
Scouring velocity and disinfection. Aspects of a sanitary water distribution system. Precleaning an alcohol production system is more important than a drinking water system. Ask Flint Michigan. Well done!!
I’m currently trying to learn how to make mead. And I stumbled upon this video and was super proud to hear that you use citrus or the Rio grande Valley. 😁
George, Chase made a statement that got me thinking. He mentioned that citric acid is not microbial friendly. I’m curious if it should be used then in those instances when I need to lower my pH? Is there a better acid that I should be using to try and get down to 5.2?
Most filter companies outline putting the sheets in the filter dry and running water through the filter "In pumping direction" for 5-10 minutes to flush the sheets before use... Why are you just dipping them in water?
How do you get the remaining wine in the filters to push throw once the batch is finished? I always have remaining wine leftover over that goes to waste.
The only thing you could do is run water through, but the majority just put that last bit down to waste (look at it as the same way we lose a little due to sediment loss)
I have the medium and he sanitized his equipment and plate with star San and dunk his filter plates in just water....the question is can I dunk my filters in and soak them in star San or do I just dunk them in water
Of course he did but I have a form rule I live by on videos (I never drink). I just think it detracts from the main purpose of providing information - it a quirk I have. George
Barley and Hops Brewing oh okay! I thought maybe he just didn't want to share. I felt like you should have had a sip though .... you seem a little quirky. Which is why I started following you. You're funny and have a lot of good info.
"it isn't the size of your tool"... The result is all the same.... waaaahahahahaa... George ya should have had some cheesy 70's pron music during that statement.. hahahahahaaa...

This comment fills us with trust 🤣 when you are “professionally trained” but learn more from a UA-cam video .. welcome to the 2020s 🤪

Great job George and Colton, thanks for sharing. And to the the guy doing the work in the background.
Thank you guys so much for this video!

Great video! lol at the guy in the blue shirt 5:44 😂
Yeah, I thought I'd leave that in there. It was a little comical.
George

It is amazing how seeing this in this level validates what we do as a community.
Priceless.
George
Barley and Hops Brewing Totally agree!! Keep up the great videos!
I read the title of this video quickly & thought it read "Flirting Like a Pro" 🤣🤣🤣
I was like what is George up to now!! 😄😄
ABSOLUTELY the most underrated comment I have seen all day!
This is a great series. Thanks George n Chase

Really great video!
I found the quickest way to clarify Mead is to freeze it and then leave it to thaw out, the sediment drops out quicker.
Does it work if you just put it in the fridge at around 40°F?
@@sparklysparks77 No, it has to crystallize and freeze and then thaw out. Just cooling it doesn't work.

11:16 Where are tanks Jerry and Kramer?
Seriously though, thanks a lot for the video, guys. I appreciate the great, honest content you are offering.
Great video and lol @5.48 that face!
That was priceless so we left it in. We'll get to meet him, hopefully, on future videos.
George
What’s the problem with the citric acid?
You now have a new subscriber! Very informative! I am brand new to the whole brewing scene and mead is my choice. Thank you!
Great video George!
Glad you think so!
coffee filter work ok too???
Detailed information on filtering wine. Thanks a plenty! 👍🏽

what pump are u using?
Very nice setup

Awesome George!! Great info!!
Great video.

There was no bonus info about how to ferment citrus?
Can you filter vodka or whisky this way I wonder?
Very cool video.
Thank you.👍🥃
Very good video I do alot of the same process on a much smaller scale just starting with a mini jet on a upcoming batch.
How do you get the remaining wine in the filters to push throw once the batch is finished? I always have remaining wine leftover over that goes to waste.

Carbon and Bentonite first pass pack of coffee filters a buchner funnel and vacuum flask for the second almost clear as water
Thank you George, very cool
Great video, thnx.
Did you only use 1 micron filter?
Thanks George I learn so much from your video 👍
Thank you for this video Chase and George.
Chase, what are the names of your filters please?
Filter presses
Coffee filters?
Nice
great video guys.. George you need to get out more often...lol
I know. I am having a great time learning and sharing.
There is more to come just wait until you see what we have lined up.
George
I have the medium and he sanitized his equipment and plate with star San and dunk his filter plates in just water....the question is can I dunk my filters in and soak them in star San or do I just dunk them in water
You can dunk them in water or use star san. Doesn't really matter.
I always worry that I'm going to ruin my 5 gallon batches. Thats alot of wine
Yes sir
Fantastic video! Really fascinating to watch this on a commercial level. I hope you get to film at a small distillery too:-)>
Like im REALLY going to do that...CMON!!!
George way too complex for homebrewers cold crashing is our best friend but as usual awesome content
1 micron nominal or absolute?
More likely nominal
This was so cool
bentinite, we drilling for oil
So this is why some people pasturize
Yay, that’s 10 minutes from our house!
Whow!! Don’t these guys like the sound of their own voices. I gave up after abt 8 minutes when nothing had happened.
he didnt give you a sip
Of course he did but I have a form rule I live by on videos (I never drink). I just think it detracts from the main purpose of providing information - it a quirk I have.
George

Thanks Tanya. Hope we offer info you can use. Quirky? I like that 😀
George
"it isn't the size of your tool"... The result is all the same.... waaaahahahahaa...
George ya should have had some cheesy 70's pron music during that statement.. hahahahahaaa...
there's so much noise in the background! but nice jop
It's very costly project common people can not this
mead should NOT BE CLEAR! filtering mead is absurd!!!
friends, Super-Kleer will filter in one day.
