Hello
Just finished bottling my 5th and 6th kit last night, and 3/4 of the way through bottling my filters were too clogged to continue. Luckily I had a spare set to finish the batch.
I just wanted to know if this was normal. The 4 other kits that I have done I only bottled single kits so this was not an issue, I am simply curios whether or not I should be expecting to only bottle 1 kit per set of filters.
I also would like to know if it is necessary to soak the filters before using, I did do this all the times I have bottled, but it seems like I may be wasting a bunch of finished product to make sure that the filters are still not water logged.
Any info regarding this would be helpful.
I am not sure if this background info will help but, the kits I finished last night were Kenridge Showcase Shiraz 45 day kit which tasted really good and Cheeky Monkey Shiraz/Zinfandel 30 day kit which also tasted good but not as good as the KR. The other kits I have done in the past are
Wine Expert 45 day Cab Sav
Cheeky Monkey Chile Malbec - 30 day
En Primeur Cab Sav - 45 day
Ken Ridge Rosso Grande - 45 day
Cheeky Monkey - Valipolicella 30 day
