Filtration Recommendation
We’re working on the jump from a contracted beer to brewing everything in house. One of the last pieces of equipment were having trouble settling on is a filter, if any is needed. Right now we plan on doing kegged only beer for 12-18 months and then installing the canning line. We are running 60bbl tanks and currently plan on running a 5msq DE filter only. Several brewers in the area look to be using DE between the FV and the Brite then go straight to kegs. A few use the DE between FV to BT and then again from the BT to the filer.
Our equipment supplier wants to run at minimum a DE and a plate and frame filter. I’m not a real big fan on the plate and frame set up. A guy north of me runs Pall 16” Supradisc and he swears that we don’t need any DE filter at all.
Yet other have told me no filter is needed period.
Right now a centrifuge is out of our price range so I have dropped that as a possible solution.
Advice is welcome!
