Filtering Brew with Wine Filter Pump?

Has anybody done this? Will it "remove" too much of that beer taste? Use a water based Copper's kit only. thanks p.s. I rack it 2x before bottle. Wil filter do better or worst?

If you rack it 2 times before bottling, why do you want to filter it? It should be quite clear already. If you filter it there won't be enough yeast in the beer to have natural carbonation in the bottles and most of the impurities that you see in your beers would be the product of that fermentation (unless it's a belgian white or heffe wiesen).

On the other way if you have a system to force carbonate your beers prior to botling and don't need fermentation in the botles, that is another story. If i remember well, i heard that in this case you can filter your beer with a number 3 wine filter (if that make any senses).

Yes, it is very clear. The settlement is very min due to the suger priming before bottling. I just wanted to try something different. Thanks fer the info on the filter. Wud like to tap it eventually. Same brew method for 15yrs now, just got into wine last year also. dave

Trust me, don't filter it. You'll cause much more harm than good. -- LH

You'll remove some of the good flavors... don't filter it.
