Bung and hose tail on Vinbrite Filter

Cheap as chips. Glad it worked out for you.

Good stuff. Out of interest, does the dimmer actually alter the flow rate or are you just using it as a switch?

The white bit just clips onto the blue bit but that is after the filter so there is no pressure there. Any pressure is limited to the unfiltered side of the pad. Once its through the pad, the wine just flows out with gravity really.

@BeerCat - Thats how the vinbrite is meant to be used. There’s no provision for fitting a tube on the underside, nothing mentioned in the instructions. Plus, I’ve been in contact with Harris Filters, the manufacturer about the pump and they’ve seen the video and not mentioned anything about...

There’s a link to the ebay page under the video. These seem a pretty generic pump for homebrew use. This is the label on it.

There’s clear... and there’s clear. I can tell the difference. If you’re happy as is, thats great. This was posted for those that use a vinbrite filter really. 4 weeks? Lol, i’d have dunk it by then and moved onto the next one.

I’ve made these kits for about 3-4 years, usually one a month. Never had a bad batch yet, they’re pretty robust. I did a series of videos for a few friends who were interested in the kits and what gear they would need. They should play in a playlist. If you are interested, this is the first one

Don't think the filters are that fine to be honest. They just pull out the last bits of dead yeast and other small bits of crap in there. Taste-wise I'm not sure you'd tell the difference if you were careful to rack the wine properly, but I like it looking as clear and bright as possible. I...

I find filtering wine a bit time consuming but wasn't prepared to pay about £150 for a Buon Vino mini jet filter. I decided to try and add a pump to my Vinbrite filter and was pretty impressed with the results. Can pass 23 litres of wine through a Crystalbrite pad in under 8 minutes. Hope...

As luck would have it, a mate of mine works at a wine bottling firm, so wine bottles and screw caps should be readily available. Just have to cross his palm with beer.

Thanks for the replies guys. I realised that I can use one of the containers I already have (for work use), it's a 30L capacity with a good lid. So have ordered an airlock and a very expensive grommet for it! Also ordered a plastic carboy and some other odds and sods. Going to try a...

Hi folks, First post so please be gentle. I'm completely new to wine brewing, though I used to dabble with beer making about 20 years ago. I'm looking to buy an equipment starter kit; are there things I should be aware of or look for especially? Also, I'm looking to pick a white wine kit - I...

Hi guys and gals, Pleased to me you. I used to home brew beer about 20 years ago and now looking to get into the home brew scene once again but this time with wine. I just need some help to get started. Thanks, Gareth
