Inline filter?

[jenki]

Hi All, I was contemplating adding a filter like this to my tap on the boiler to filter the wort into the FV, and also adding one to the taps on the FV's. They have a stainless 400 micron filter.
Anybody have comments pro's or cons? they are 1/2 in BSP so can be easily fitted to a compression fitting tap
Cheers

I think someone either on here, or on Jim's uses one of these on his boiler tap. Where are you loking at getting it from? I might have to look into it! :thumb:

I'm sure I saw one in the BES catalogue last week.

In my opinion the hop strainer in the boiler should be sufficient to form a filter that will remove the majority of debris, if it isn't then the small piece of 40 micron mesh in that filter will soon clog

I was thinking that this in conjuction with the the hop strainer might produce clearer wort, then when added to a secondary FV prior to a keg may again help for a clearer pint? I am concerned it may block though :wha:

It will!
Allow gravity to work it's wonders, it's free.

why not just use a sieve, or even let the bits get captured in sediment in the fermenter. My thinking is that generally if no ones doing it it probably doesn't need doing!!!!!
