We are looking into getting a filter for our Brewpub and I am trying to figure out the best option to pitch to the owners on what to get. Currently we are fining everything, but we because we have started a small packaging line I am finding that the fining process is taking way too long for me to keep up with the demand.
We are a 17hl brewhouse brewing about 1800hl/year, usually brewing and transferring twice a week.
I want to predominantly filter my Kolsch and Red ale, as well as some of the rotating taps to try and get them ready faster, so I will probably need something around 1-2.5 microns.
Space is also at a premium at my place, so something that takes up less of a foot print, or it mobile would be best.
I am thinking Lenticular or plate and frame would do the trick for this, but I need some advice on which one would be a better suit to my brewhouse. I know plate and frames can be more mobile and cheaper to run, but lenticular has much lower losses and DO pick up and the cartridges can last a lot longer than P&F.
Any advice is much appreciated.
Cheers,
