Filtering Beer

swingo said:

Current manually filter my beer (auto-siphon, grain bag, screen in my funnel). However, the beer does not get as filtered as I would like. I use gelatin before I filter.

I have 2 questions: 1) Any ideas for filtering better? Kegging is too expensive, so that is not an option. 2) Has anyone used a fish tank filter? If so, what was your experience with it? Do you think it would cause issues?

To answer all the question:

1. I brew both partial and all grain. I Lauder with the all grain, but can never get it perfectly clear. Also, sometimes when you add things like chocolate to the boil stuff still gets through.

2. I also try to filter with my grain bags, strainer and screen in my funnel, before I move to the primary and secondary.
