Hello fellow Brewers
I just finished my first Beer and Mead and im very happy with the outcome.
But, there is a lot of yeast, hops, and other small stuff swimming in the brew.
Of course i let it rest for a while and most of it settled down to the bottom but it just doesn't look very attractive to have that stuff in the bottle.
For my next beer ill try it with a secondary, this hopefully will make it a bit "cleaner".
But my housemate suggested to let it run through a coffee filter. This should filter even the small yeast particles out. On the other hand i guess it would take ages to run a few liters through a small filter. So i thought of using an electric fish tank filter. if everything is properly sterilized and clean, it shouldn't be a problem right?
id love to hear some thought about if this could work from some professional homebrewers like you guys
regards,
Benedikt
