First let me say I consider myself quite the novice. I made my first wines probably 5 years ago, then took a break for a few years, now at it again - trying to do a bit better now.
Anyway, I made a 3 gallon batch of triple berry wine during the winter - bottled it about a week ago. I thought it was very clear, but after settling in the bottles, found many have a bit of sediment, that I apparently missed when I bottled it - should have racked it one more time. Tonight I decided to break out my Katadyn camping water filter, which I normally use for backpacking (tho I haven't used it in a couple years) and tried that on a 750 ml bottle. I was happy to find it did an excellent job. It looks perfectly clear now. I'm quite impressed. Wondering if anybody else had used a camping water filter like this? I'm tempted to filter the rest of the batch. Nothing to lose but some corks and a little time.
