I was filtering/kegging my marzen today and it occurred to me that maybe it would be a good idea to filter my lagers prior to the laagering stage. Just wondering what people thought of this, good/bad idea?
It seems to make sense regardless of whether you dump trube from a conical or transfer to a secondary. The filtering would remove almost all the remaining yeast (after a cold drop and dump of course) and maybe even remove some of the DMS, which is at least one reason for doing the laagering anyways. This would free up the fermentor, which would save space in the freezer for more beer .
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Jaime
