Sanitary Filter

    Description

    This versatile little filter is a beer maker's insurance policy! Whether you’re aerating or racking you will appreciate having the peace-of-mind of knowing that your brew will not be contaminated by whatever is floating around in the air. Use it anywhere you need to keep something sanitary. Both 1/4"" and 3/8"" tubing will attach to it, and it will snugly fit in any standard stopper as well.
     
    Check out this list of suggested uses:
    • Airlock: The most common use might be as an airlock on any kind of fermenter. Unlike other small sanitary filters, this unit fits perfectly into a stopper. Works great for conical fermenters where air is taken in when samples are taken or trub is dumped. Using the sanitary filter as airlock also eliminates the concern of drawing air back in as hot liquid cools and contracts in a fermenter. It is not appropriate for long term storage of beer as it is not an oxygen barrier.
    • Inline Aeration/Oxygenation Filter: With an oxygenation or aeration system, such as our FE375 or FE380, it will filter contaminants out of oxygen or air. It is connected inline between pump/O2 tank and Stainless Diffusion Stone.
    • Hand Pumps: Some breweries use this filter with the breweries hand pump system. Air going back into the cask is sanitized through this filter. This has extended shelf life of Real Ales by up to 2 weeks!
    • CO2 Filtration: Used inline with your CO2 Kegging setup, this piece can be used to filter out any potential contaminants from your CO2 Tank.
     
    About the inline filters: There are two sides to the filter - an "in" and an "out". The direction you use doesn't matter, however, you want to take note of which way you first push air through it and always keep it that way. There is an arrow on the edge of the filter housing that we use to keep the airflow going one direction when using it. The filter should never get wet, so don't try and sanitize it by dunking it in sanitizer. If you want to clean the outside of it, use Alpet D2. To store the filter, use a little tinfoil on the "In" of the filter and store in a zip-lock bag. Can last up to 1 year. Discard if there are any signs of discoloration.
     
    This product qualifies as a HEPA filter under US government standards.
     
    STORE DRY AT ALL TIMES. DO NOT SANITIZE FILTER.
     
    **NOTE: Temporarily shipping a smaller diameter unit due to supply chain issues**

        Sanitary filter

        Haven’t used it yet, am installing air dryer first. Looks to be a good value, and some extra insurance around the winery that our air driven, double diaphragm pumps aren’t exhausting microbes around the tank and filling room. Jeff W, Babick CellarsENUMCLAW, Wa.

        Works great for aerating wort with an O2 cylinder. No issues after about 4 or 5 uses.

        Handy!

        I am using this to create a simple. sanitary siphon with a two-port carboy hood and a racking cane. This system greatly simplifies my setup and cleaning when racking to a secondary fermentor or bottling bucket. There are lots of other uses for this handy little filter as well.

        MARK WITH SHARPIE..etc..

        make sure that you mark with a sharpie the side that faces the pump so that you hook this up in the right direction each time. My understanding is to keep this as a sanitary filter, you have to push air the same direction each time. Also..this filter will find any moisture in your hoses so make sure they are dry before you hook up. Great filter easy to use, but make sure you have the right size hose if you are going to use this with the Whisper aquarium pump.

        Great sanitary filter.

        This is great to add to a two port carboy cap and create a sanitary siphon. Place a racking cane in one port and this in the other. Blow through the sanitary filter and the racking cane will start siphoning. I saw the in a BYO magazine the other day and it works great. I like it better than the auto siphon because all you have to do clean the cane, not the whole auto siphon.

        A must have for filtering and aeration.

        Easiest thing to help clean the o2 and or Co2 before aeration. It is such a simple peace but a must have not to mention, It's Cheap!

        Use this with both O2 and Co2...

        I use this as an adapter for both my O2 wand for oxygenation and for CO2 for sterile/closed transfer with my Better Bottles at very low pressures. Works well and easy to use.

        Racking

        I use it for my siphon when I am racking. Works really well. DO NOT GET IT WET or it is game over. I keep a back up incase I have an accident.

        Just one problem.

        The filter works fine. I had a problem because the tubing required for the filter is larger than the tubing for most aquarium air pumps, including mine. Even with soaking the hose in hot water, I can barely fit the tubing onto the filter. This is a problem every time the tubing between the filter and stainless air stone is removed for cleaning. There are better designed filters that accommodate both smaller and larger air hose.

        Must have for pure oxygen

        You have to have this. I don't trust my pure o2 to be so pure from the tanks . So this is hooked up to make sure no nasties are getting in my wort.. Like the instructions say don't get it wet. I keep mine all wrapped up in a bag inline with my o2 line. Just to be safe. Wish they had other size connectors ... But it works for my setup.

        I've purchased several of these filters for my oxygenation system post the Blichmann Therminator. I hook this up inline from my air compressor to my oxygen stone and then to the cooler.

        For oxygenation system

        You need one of these if you're going to oxygenate. These are pretty sturdy, the only thing is to take care not to get them wet. Fortunately it will be very obvious if you've messed up... inspect your filter every time you use it and you'll usually see tell-tale black spots on the filter if you've infected your filter with some unwanted organism.

        Great Filter

        I sue this with my aquarium pump to aerate my wort and I've never had a problem with contamination. Using this really helps me to get a quick kick-off on my yeast a great attenuation.

        great for aerating

        I use this in line with my oxygen stone. For the price, why wouldn't you add in a layer of protection?

        I've never truly worn one out, just simply replace from time to time. Never had an infection problem as a result!

        Useful

        I use this when racking my beer. I use the orange carboy cap with a stainless racking cane in the middle slot and this in the other. I start the siphon with CO2 through the filter and I presume the ambient air passing through thereafter is cleaner than without. Important if you're going to rinse and store the yeast cake

        An essential part of my oxygenation system!

        We all know that one of the top reasons for funky beer can be lack of cleanliness. Using this filter I can feel good about the oxygen I'm pumping into my wort.

        Not necessary for yeast starter, other wise good product

        This was a decent product though I haven't used it much. I found a sterilized foil piece over the flask for a yeast starter to be sufficient.

        Great Tool to Have on Hand

        This is a very handy tool to have on hand. Make sure to mark what the dirty side is.
