Fedex delivered my mini jet today from midwestsupplies. I filtered 5 gallons of concord and was very happy with the results but i have a few questions if you don't mind answering.
1. It seems like the overflow tube put a lot of CO2 back into the wine. Do you guys usually degass again after you filter?
2. After filtering was finished, there were a few little white specks (for a lack of better terms) at the top of the carboy. I am hoping that this is just some of the filter pad that broke free but I am not sure.
Here is what I did, I soaked the filter pads in water for about 3-5 minutes then I "filtered" about a half gallon of water FIRST so that the wine didn't taste like paper. Then, I filtered the wine. Did I do something wrong?
