Filtering Help - What Parts Do I Need?

Fri Jun 25, 2010 4:42 am

Like a dumb ass, I purchased the plate filter from WIlliam's Brewing this week. However, I neglected to pay any attention to what parts I need to hook this bad boy up to my kegs. Can someone who uses this filter advise what else I need?

I think I need 2 liquid-out QDs. What else am I missing?

Thanks!

Filter pads http://www.williamsbrewing.com/3_MICRON ... D_P426.cfm
A pressure relief valve certainly makes things easier. FIL42 and FIL42A are morebeer.com part numbers.

That should be all the parts. Now make sure you keep everything as cold as you can get it and go filter!

I did get the 7 micron filter pads that Tasty recommended.

I guess I'll have to bleed off the pressure manually in the target keg until I get the relief valve. Otherwise, will I be good after I pick up the 2 liquid-out QDs?

Yep you should be good to go. 7 micron are fine, I like both the 3 and 7 depending on the beer. Make sure the beer is degassed (uncarbonated) before you try to filter or you will have a world of foamy pain.
