So I've been looking into filtering my lagers from my 3 gal Speidel fermenter to my 2.5 gal kegs. I'm thinking of going the whole house canister route rather than the plate type filter and also thinking gravity verses pushing Co2 between two kegs.
My lagers are already pretty dang clear since I wait 6 weeks to tap but I've been diagnosed with some mild gout and want to try and eliminate the yeast to see if it helps my symptoms.
I'm thinking of trying a 5 micron filter first but am a little worried if its too fine for gravity to pull it down into the fermenter? I've read that finer filters can strip flavors and or head retention? If I go 10-20 micron I'm not sure it would trap enough yeast? Any tips or suggestions?
