11/11/2004 -- Is it better to filter the wine from the carboy into another carboy prior to bottling or is it possible to filter straight into the bottles as you go? BTW, great Q&A postings!

Response From Homebrew Heaven: We (and the manufacturer) recommend filtering into another carboy first, and allowing the wine to "settle" for at least a few days before bottling. This allows any entraped air from the filtering process to escape prior to bottling your wine.

6/25/2004 -- Would this filter work with mead? I do mean actual mead not a honey wine. Thanks

Response From Homebrew Heaven: Yes, absolutely!

10/24/2003 -- If I put my Pinot Noir through malolactic fermentation and it would happen to stop prior to being completed, is the number 2 filter pad sufficient to remove the malolactic bacteria so that fermentation does start up again after bottling? And with whites with residual sugar, is a number 2 pad sufficient to remove yeast so that fermentation doesn't start again, or does a person need to use a number 3 pad? I don't want to filter so fine that I loose the color or fruity character of my wine. Lastly, in lieu of filtering, will fining with a fining agent remove yeast and malolactic bacteria so that renewed fermentation can be avoided, or is filtering a must?

Response From Homebrew Heaven: No, a #2 filter pad will not remove enough yeast OR ML bacteria to prevent refermentation. Even using a #3 pad does not guarantee it.

The best way to prevent refermentation is to use a good fining agent and filter (optional) and then to add a small amount of sulfite and potassium sorbate. The sulfite and sorbate are necessary if you are resweetening.
