Beer prior to filtration, I’d tried gelatin + kieselsol for around 2 week now in total at 0.4C:

Temp reading:

Using the Sawyer SP-128 Filter:

The results!:

Notes

The filtered beer definitely tastes different (I am not planning to do this on all my beer)

I noticed that when I attached this tiny filter in line to a corny keg, it does clog fast (back flushing with clean water does help fix it, but that’s only a temporary fix)! So I’m planning to add a 0.5 micron absolute filter prior to it, in 5″ or 10″ filter housing.

Because this is sterile filtration (which will remove the yeast), I will add bottling yeast, when bottling and priming.

Instead of filtering all beer, I’m going to alter my process including taking steps to encourage precipitation of cold break, by chilling potentially to 0C after boiling, leaving for a while then increasing to pitch temp.
