This cartridge filter is designed to be installed inline between two ball lock Cornelius kegs. The design uses Argon or Nitrogen gas pressure to push wine out of the full keg, through the filter and into the clean keg.
This kit includes a cartridge to filter out particles down to 1 micron in size, which is considered a "fine" or "polish" filtration. This is a fine place to start if your wine is already naturally very clear from successive rackings, or you have pre-fined the wine. If you do not wish to wait for racking to be effective or to pre-fine the wine ahead of filtration, MoreWine! suggests that you start with either our 5 micron or 3 micron cartridge and put the wine through successively finer filter media until you reach your desired level of clarity.
The Beer and Wine Filtering Kit comes with one 10" filter housing, a 1 micron 10" spun poly sediment filter, fittings for connection to the filter housing, 3' of beverage line, clamps, and two beverage out ball lock quick disconnects.
Spun-polypropylene filters are disposable filters and cannot be effectively cleaned for reuse. However, you can filter multiple kegs with one filter cartridge. Most customers report being able to filter 10-15 gallons of product, however you should be aware that your results will vary depending on the cloudiness of your beer or wine. 5-10 micron is considered rough filtration, 3 micron will remove most yeast, and 1 micron filtration will remove almost all yeast. All filters are rated nominal (will filter out 80-85% of matter at given rating).
