BeerBrite Filtration System

I use the filter system for our hard apple cider. I ran 90 gallons through it. The good news is it works. The disappointing news is changing filters in the middle of the processes a bit awkward. There was some flavor loss as a result of the filtration process, and I have a feeling there are some modest design changes that could really improve the functionality of the system. But, I won't try to be an engineer at this time. As with many things time cures all. If I have a choice I'll use time to clarify my product. But, in a pinch I'll use the system again.

Well, I made an IPA and mistakes were made. Instead of being “that guy” and just decided to call it a hazy IPA, I decided,”I bet Midwest brewing supplies can fix this!” After navigating their easy to use site, I decided that,”the filtration system they have looks like an affordable option! I’ll give that a shot!” A short time later, the device was on my doorstep, ready to be employed. The filtering system was easy to use and my “hazy” IPA was what I originally envisioned. Thank you Midwest brewing supplies! The garden hose attachment was a sweet addition to the package for cleanup and back flushing.

The coarser filter made a big difference on the clarity of my Homebrew. The finer filter kept the keg clean removing the yeast.
( I used a bottle bucket to keg in order to gravity feed the filter since I don't have a second keg yet, worked great though no complaints)

If you are kegging, there's no reason not to include this step.

The filter works well as it should, and the included backflush assembly makes that step easy. The hoses are good length for the operation.

The one big flaw is that the hoses are connected directly to NPT fittings on the filter head. Assembly is complicated by the dangling hoses. Hoses are difficult to clean without unscrewing them from the plastic head, and difficult to reassemble without spoiling sanitation.

A better implementation would use flare fittings on the filter head and all four hose ends.
