Clearing/ filtering lees with a coffee filter?

BeginnerMark · Oct 2, 2015

Would filtering lees be possible using a coffee filter? I want to clear my wine without waiting another month

It will probably clog the filter and be a very slow drip. Patience is your best friend when making wine.

Probably finish about the same time either way you go [emoji12]
Practice your 3 p's

Lees are best racked off. Not filtered.

I guess I just need to be patient

I'm horrible at that [emoji24]thanks guys

Maybe you might want to switch over to making beer then. This "hobby" is really all about patience. Just sayin! LOL

HAHA I'm more of a wine guy

I rather just buy beer [emoji108][emoji23]

[Tried that with a bit of sediment in a bottle.

Coffee filters plug up right away.

Time is the best thing to clear wine.
