My plums do not look like they are clearing, even though every time I rack there is sediment. in looking at filters I see that the cheapest looks exactly like a water filter. is this true? other filters seem too expensive. plum has been settling for about 6 months and is still thick as mud
Tater, You can buy most of the equipment you need to filter your plum wine at Home Depot. More info here
well "thick as mud" isn't a clearly defined technical term. but i think i'll be getting a cheap filter setup together in the comming months. I did add peptic enzyme at the beginning, but did not know it was meant for clearing(aside from haze) I got some sparkaloid and might give that a try after i do some gross filtering. I was thinking of running it thru a 50 micron and then maybe a 20-25 micron to see if there is improvement. with that large a size, I'd guess that i wouldnt have too much problem with clogging, the earlier rackings did have quite a bit of sediment, but it looks like I have something that wont settle with just gravity. the past 4 rackings there has not been a noticeable change in clarity, or lack of.
Why not just get a mini jet filter system, they're pretty cheap and work awesome.
