I have a pump/tank type wine filter , the tank holds 7 liters, so I
have to fill the tank 4 times to do a batch of wine, it filters very
well, but puts a lot of air in the wine, I am thinking of buying a mini
jet filter, can you who have one tell me if it will help keep the air
out of the wine and is the air in my wine a problem I need to deal with?

You are not oxidating the wine any more with filtering than with normal racking or bottling.
 
Hippie, the problem is when you refill the tank the line gets air in it
and foams when you start filtering again, but it's OK I ordered my new
mini jet anyway.



NOTE to new winemakers, save money, just buy the best equiptment you can afford the first time around!!...lol
 
That's fine, Stinkie, but you will have the same air induction problem with the Mini-Jet. You won't get away from it. All you can do is make sure the wine has plenty of sulphite content.
