Filter for bottling

[Sbarnard80]

Anyone filter while bottling? While siphoning from secondary carboy to bottling bucket I like to get all the beer off the trub I can - waste not want not. And especially when dry hopping which I do with pellets, I will get little bits of stuff I can see going down the tube into the bottles. It's not a big deal but would like to minimize.

Am planning to use a water supply braided hose. Anyone else use something like this to filter, or other thoughts?

I use a piece of the SWMBO's old nylons that I cut a toe off to cover the end of the autosiphon - it's held on with an o-ring that's just big enough to slide over the main tube.

Doesn't catch every tiny particle, but greatly helps cut down on loose dry-hopped pellets when getting to the bottom.

Old nylons? That's fantastic. Would never have thought of that - hope you sanitized it first:cross:

I use these. I have the 600, 400 and 200 microns. You can stack them for an even better filter. I don't use the 200 often because it gets stuck a lot and it's a pain to get going again.

I stick my siphon in a sanitized paint strainer bag.
