Has anyone used Biofine in a fermenter that has a carb stone so the tank can be used as a unitank? I am thinking of using biofine in the fermenter with my pale ale and IPA that are both dryhopped. Any info would be appreciated.

Do it all the time. My tanks dont have a carb stone so I hook one up to the racking port, get a good flow going and dose biofine from a 3 gal. corny through the sample valve and keep the carb stone going for at least 30 minutes. Works well. I typically use 1 litre biofine per 14-15Bbl batch.Big Willey

Thanks for the info and for keeping Frank's spirit alive.

I should also mention that when I do a dryhopped beer I use a 20" cartridge filter at 5um to catch the "miscellaneous debris". I found that the 5um actually works better than a coarser 25um when trying to stop hops. Im thinking maybe the 25um allows too much junk into the cartridge plugging the thing up quicker.

I would suggest to do your carbonation early in the stage as you are mixing in the biofine. You wont want to disturb yeast and protein that has dropped out of solution. It's also good to drop the yeast from the cone several times and be sure to blow out the racking arm/sample port. Yeasties like to settle inside of the ports and the first bit is a bit muddy. Lastly, you can increase usage rate and/or get the product to 32-34f for 2-3days minimum to get the best bang for your buck. Cheers~
