Hello fellow cider makers.
Does anyone know an easy effective way to filter cloudy home pressed apple juice? In a few months I will start kegging and bottling my ciders from last fall. I usually like to back sweeten to about 1.006(ish) with fajc.
However, I have several gallons of frozen home pressed apple juice from last fall that I would like to use. As you can imagine it's very cloudy with lots of apple bits. The juice is from several varieties of sharps and bitters.
Admittedly, I am a sucker for sparkling clear cider. I'd hate to cloudy up ciders that have been clearing for six months.
I'm considering getting a plate filter and placing it between two kegs but I'm worried that the fresh juice would clog it up too quickly.
Once I can filter juice, I can also freeze concentrate it.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
