I want to build a station for filtering. I would like to have the ability to filter a keg to take out of the house, so I can serve brilliantly clear beer anywhere and not worry about stirring up sediment when I move the keg. My thinking is that if I buy a filter, and try to make it work just sitting on the workbench it will be a total pain, much like integrating a march pump into your system without mounting it to anything.
This is what I am thinking about building:
I would run a CO2 line off my kegerator to provide the gas. On the sanitation side, one corny will be filled with starsan and one with CO2. The other side will have two cornys, one containing the unfiltered beer and one the final target keg. First you will put gas on the starsan and pump sanitizer through the filter into the target keg. Empty the sanitizer from target keg. Hook lines up to CO2 keg and purge the filter, lines, and target keg with CO2. Move lines to unfiltered beer and proceed to filter beer into target keg.
Any thoughts? Is there a simpler solution? Worth the build (given that I DO want to filter)?
