Yeah looking at the YouTube videos the straw cannot do milk. The Lifestraw mission though looks a better bet - seems to have a pre filter. Think I could brew in the 12L and looks to even have a bottling wand ! Flow rate might be too low I think (seems to be quoted as 9L /hr theoretical). Not...

Filtering hop pellet remnants , trub from the FV.

Has anyone used the Lifestraw water filtration product on their homebrew? The product was originally for humanitarian use but markets seem to have expanded. I was thinking of either looking at the siphon to see if it generated enough suction. I expect I might then need to carbonate the beer...
