I've got one Corny at the moment that I purchased from Kegconnection a few years ago. I'm looking to get a couple more but the shipping from USA is crazy, around $50. I can't understand why Cornys are so damn hard to find. Just a few years ago every corner store had them in their Pepsi machine...

around 3 weeks in the fermenter

Well you see the thing is me and my buddy (also 20) used one of those "wort in a bag" lol. The first time we filtered with the 5 micron the beer was at room temperature and uncarbonated. The second time through the 1 micron the beer was carbonated and cold.

chill haze? please explain and a 5 micron filter should be sufficient to filter any yeast in suspension right?

Nice setup, does anyone know of hand what size tube fits the corny quick connectors? is it a polypropylene filter that I'm looking for? Are the filters reusable? thanks

Hello folks, I'm trying to get back into beer making after a couple year hiatus. I'm looking at filtering my beer this time around and I would like some suggestions on an easy cost effective way to do it. I have a keg setup but only one corny, although I do have a carboy and brew bucket to rack...
