Maybe it's just me, but it seems like every time I rack my meads I tend to pull a bit of sediment through. Sometimes it's a little, sometimes it's a lot, but there always tends to be some. And generally, spent yeast doesn't taste very well, IMHO.
So this weekend/early next week I'm going to try a little experiment. I'm gonna rack out of a one gallon carboy into another, until I get to about an inch off the lees (which will hopefully pull nothing else but liquid goodness through the siphon). I am then going to attempt to pour [as gently as possible] half of the remains into a carbon filter (Pur water filtration pitcher) and the other half through a couple coffee filters, to see if either are effective at cleanly separating mead from yeast.
Anybody else tried anything similar?
