No longer a newbie, but still clueless.
I filtered and bottled my Torrontes this morning. It is the 4th white wine I've done. Despite having just filtered with a 1 micron filter, I could still see very fine particles in the wine. I checked the others, including my Eclipse Sauv Blanc that was bottled about a year ago. They all have very fine sediment.
I took a look at the lid to my filter housing and there is a hole drilled such that it appears it would be possible for wine to come in through the input, and go straight to the output without having to go through the filter. I just can't get my head around this design. It seems there is nothing that would force the wine through the filter.
Am I being too picky? Should some very, very fine sediment make it through the filter. The only other thing I can think of is there is sediment/dust in the receiving carboy. But before I filter the wine, I run a half gallon or so of KMeta solution through the filter and into the receiving carboy. I then dump that solution into another carboy or jug for storage. I would think that process would rinse any dust, etc out of the carboy.
Any thoughts or insight are greatly appreciated.
