First use of PVC filter

[cgallamo]

Built my filter with 3" PVC only two feet long. I figured it would be easier to clean in the sink. Here are some pictures. First drained 15 gallons of mourvedre juice (from the blue barrel) and a little syrah from the 6 gallon bucket for a rose. Last two pictures are post fermentation draining off the wine.

I am thinking about selling these similar units with a custom mesh bag on them for 20 dollars each.

This is called a free run tube – it comes in 2 pieces so it is easy to ship and store. It also comes with a durable custom made mesh that slides over the outside of the tube. It makes it a lot easier to go from the primary fermenters into the secondary, without all the mess. Overall dimension is 3'' wide and 24'' long
