Howdy all,
I'm wondering at what point during your plate and frame filter session do you actively use a pump? Currently, I've been using the hydrostatic pressure of the FV beer (equalizing the filter system to the same psi) to push the beer through our 40x40 plate and frame until I get about 3-4.5bbls in the brite then close filter valves, turn on pump (between FV and filter), then slowly open filter valves to not even 1/4 way open. Sometimes I get great clear, quick results. Other times I hit a 2bar differential very, very quickly but still with clear beer. I don't want to have to backflush all the time and loose product.
Suggestions?
Dave
