Description
There are four grades available for your filter. This listing is for the COARSE filter. See my other listings for the other types:
COARSE: These pads are used mainly for heavy bodied wines. They will produce clarity for your wine, without loss of body.
COARSE PLUS: A good compromise, filters quickly and gets all but the finest particles. Leaves more color intact.
POLISH: These pads are used for brightening and polishing your wine. Filtering with these pads will result in a brightness in color and a more brilliant clarity.
STERILE: These pads are used to remove a very high percentage of the yeast.
Use of Bentonite or similar fining agents is recommended 1 to 2 weeks prior to filtration. The wine should be passed through Polish grade filter pads before attempting to filter through the Sterile grade filter pads.
Each filter pad set is good for approximately 6 gallons of wine or beer when the beverage has been filtered by the previous size pads or you are starting with the coarse filters. These pads are not designed to be back flushed and reused and should be used in one session and then thrown away.
There are three porosity levels available:
AF-1: Coarse: 2-7 microns (The fastest and does a decent job)
AF-3: Polish: 1-4 microns (Medium speed and does an excellent job)
AF-5: Sterile: .4-.6 microns (Slow and cranky but will filter out yeast, preventing further fermentation)INSTRUCTIONS: Sanitize and soak the pads in one quart of cold water mixed with 0.75 grams of metabisulfite and 3.5 grams of citric acid. Allow the pads to soak until they no longer float, ensuring full saturation for effective filtration.
