When you make beer, you end up with a big ol' pot of steaming wort, and it will have loads of CRUD. If you want to make your life easier and your beer clearer, you need to get the crud out.
So far I've tried:
- A fine-mesh metal strainer
- The strainer plus a coffee filter
The coffee filter is a bad move. There's way too much crud for a coffee filter. Might be a good move after a first pass, but not right off.
The metal strainer is pretty decent. Some crap gets through, but not a ton.
A little cheesecloth with my strainer might work real well.
Ultimately, I probably need to move to some kind of multi-pass system. I just haven't worked it out.

Helio,
ReplyDeleteFor sure I'll send you a few cold ones! I've got a couple six-packs of Coffee Stout left - It's caffeinated beer, and tastes sort of like chocolaty coffee. Goes real good with a steak. It's the perfect way to wind down after two or three red-eyes from Kennedy's :)
