Ok.. just to start off so we are on the same page... I really am not enjoying making wine.. Beer I can't get enough of.. but this is my first wine kit and I havent enjoyed any of it.. It was just a cheap store bought 7L kit.. I did everything right (I think) up till now... I am suppose to filter tonight according to the instructions.. so I borrowed my bosses filter..
I spent alot of time cleaning it and he told me to filter a few gallons of water to get me used to it and to get rid of some of the new filter taste..
As I tried this I kept blowing the rubber carboy cap off.. Anyways.. this made my decision final to not filter.. Dont want a mess.. and dont want to break my bosses filter..
Not asking for anyone to talk me back into it but just curious if many people do not filter their white wines.... or even if any people prefer not to.. (hoping I can find a reason to not do it besides just hating doing it.. )
