Cleaning & Storing Beer Filters
This instructional relates to the Gravity Beer Filter Kit and Co2 Pressure Beer Filter Kit.
Simply use a garden hose on a light spray to clean, then sterilise the housing and filter cartridge before use.
Use a food grade Liquid No-Rinse Sanitiser or similar.
- Open filter housing and remove cartridge
- Hose out sump
- Lightly hose off outside surface of cartridge by moving the hose up & down until clean
- Replace filter cartridge back into sump and hold down while running the hose in the top of the cartridge – this will back-flush cartridge forcing particles out of the pleats
- Sterilize all equipment including filter cartridge
- Shake the pleated filter to remove excess water then drain for a few minutes before placing into a clean plastic bag
- Remove most of the air from the bag, then seal and put in the freezer until next brew – this will stop potential bacteria and/or mould growth.
Before re-using filter system, sterilize all equipment with the sanitiser including the housing and filter cartridge.
- Thaw pleated filter cartridge completely
- Shake to remove excess water before placing in the sump
- Recommend lubricating end-caps of cartridge with food grade silicon grease to reduce twisting effect when housing tightened
- Never tighten housing when cartridge is totally dry or frozen – or damage will occur and shorten life of cartridge significantly.
