I am wondering what system most brewers use for filtration. I have read, and searched and no one has said "This is the one that is the best/good/economical.
Anyone?

Filtration.....worth it? I am thinking so, what do you use?

i used this filter for a 5 gallon batch of strawberry wine. worked very well for a small batch used the coarse pads and the next step and it looks great. Its economical but if you plan on doing large batches i dont think its the one for you

I bought a plate filter from NB several years ago. I used it exactly once and probably never will again. It worked just fine, but I found it to be a major PIA to use and the filter pads are kind of pricey. Now, I simply cold condition the beer allowing it to clear naturally. Now I would only consider filtering if I had to meet a deadline for some reason.

Getting the banned back together
+2, works great for me.
I know some brewers who use cheap whole house water filters for their beer. I've only used mine to filter water, so I can't speak to how well they work / don't work for beer. Seems to me like you'd lose a lot of beer to deadspace, but maybe they know something I don't.

I do the same thing with the beer. 3-4 weeks in primary
Month longn primary, plenty of time to bottle carb and condition, a minimum of a week in the fridge to flocculate out the yeast and make for a tight yeastcake in the bottle, and pouring from the shoulder, leaving the sediment behind has been all the "filtering" I've ever needed.
Gelatin is cheap easy and effective.
