After trying the same recipe 6 times with very slight adjustment (at the recommendation of many, using different mash techniques and temps, etc)...I think it's gone!
I went to Lowe's this afternoon and bought the parts to filter the beer! :rockin: HAHA. If it's ok for commercial breweries large and small to filter their beer, it's cool with me! I'll get some pics posted up later of the equipment I used, but I basically used my Co2 tank to pressurize the BetterBottle secondary via the 2nd hole on the carboy cap. The pressure (set to a little under 5psi) made the transfer FAST! It filled the filter housing within moments and the beer was drained from the carboy completely within 2 minutes or so. I even sucked up some of the trub at the bottom just to see how the filter handled it (no problem BTW!)
I've got the keg set to higher pressure and near freezing right now and I'll try one either late tonight or tomorrow evening. That should be just carbonated enough to be interesting. I'm hoping for crystal clear beer even at near freezing temps.
I transferred/filtered at near freezing temps BTW. I figured that would help the filter with any chill haze there could be
I'm stoked!
