I looked at several setups to start filtering my beer. I have a 10" water filter housing and I was looking for cartridges to fit it. I see most of the advertised Beer Filters have .5 micron filters, but others have 1 micron. I have heard people say that the .5 micron filter is great, but I have not heard anyone compare .5 and 1 micron filters as they pertain to beer.
Does anyone know if the .5 is necessary? I know that if you go much smaller the filter will remove tast and color from the beer and we definately do not want that!
I was looking at the pleated and spun filters but I hate the waste of only using them once. I opted to look at washable Ceramic filters in hopes of cutting expense of having to buy replacement filters.
Almost every Ceramic filter that I looked at goes down to .2 microns which is too small....I think. I found this 1 micron filter that is the only 1 micron ceramic filter that I can find. http://www.waterfilters.net/Pentek/wholehouse/Sediment_Filters/CRE-1.htm
Do you think 1 micron is sufficient?
Does anybody have any other options that I have overlooked?
