Now I know it may be a stupid question but......

Do you think it would be possible to use a fresh water fish tank filter rather than using a bucket and white pipe?

Just want people's views
 
yes if you use the right carbon in the filter, but give it multiple pass's.

i am doing my first high brew but i have friend that dose them a lot and he use i caravan pump/filter to clear his wash. it get the job done in under 1hr with multiple pass's. he just replaces he filter crystals with activated carbon.
 
Thanks for the reply, glad I'm not the only one to think of it lol.

Merry Christmas to you.
 
Just a quick Tip.


There is a difference between filtering wine/Beer, Mash etc and polishing it.

Use a large Brita filter to filter your strained mash.

Then, polish it using a vin clear filter system.

I have brilliant clear results. No off flavours and the results are guaranteed ! ( Don
 
So glad I stumbled upon this post! Will deff have to try the Britta filter trick. Was going to use an external fish tank filter but this seems a lot less Hassel lol
 
I use a length of wastepipe filled with activated carbon. Filter three times and crystal clear and tastes great
