I have been making wine for about 2 1/2 years now and finally got a filter system last fall. I've used it on serveral batches of wine and it seems to work good on some and not so good on others. It is a chaeaper pressurized system that uses a hand pump pressurized vessel to push the wine through a filter. I bottled a kit wine about 6 weeks ago and it appeared to be clear. Now it is showing signs of small dark flakes. I use fining agents and not sure why my filtered wine isn't any better than my unfiltered. I was thinking about investing in a mini jet filter system which uses 3 filters instead of 1 and wanted to know if anyone has had the same problem with a similar filter. I usually make wine from frest fruit from a family farm and I would have thought that a wine kit filtered would have been crystal clear. Thanks for the help.
