Hi. New to the forum so please be patient while I figure out how this works.
I have recently started to filter my beer. From secondary through steelhead pump into home filter system and then into keg.After making an 11 gal. batch I used a 13 gal. jar for secondary and top racked 5 gal. into the first keg , then pumped the second 5 gal. through a 5 micron filter. This pale ale is now at 36 degrees, carbonated at 2.4 vol.c02. and I cannot tell any difference in side by side test for taste , color , or aroma. Both kegs seem identical. Should I have used a finer filter? Should I have pushed the beer "more slowly " through the filter.Will the action of the pump infuse oxygen into the beer? Better to use kegs to push with c02 through filter?
Lots of questions--new to filtering.
