Hi guys,
I'm setting up our bottling line, and I'm looking for advice on where to do the sterile filtration. The beer will be filtered into the bright tank using a DE filter, carbonated, and from there to a 4-head Meheen filler. I want to pass the beer through a sheet filter with sterile sheets before it is bottled. Would it be better to put the sterile sheet filter in-line after the DE filter, or would it be better to put the sterile filter between the bright tank and the bottling line? I would first say the latter option is better, but I am worried about a big pressure drop across the filter causing foaming problems at the bottle filler. Anyone out there doing anything similar? If you are sterile-filtering your beer, where in the process do you do the sterile filtration?
Cheers,
