The Challenge
Breweries must remove hop particles, protein break, and other suspended matter from wort while preserving the delicate flavors and aromas that define their beer styles. Traditional methods can be labor-intensive and may affect beer quality.
The Solution: Multi-Stage Brewing Filtration
Filter bags provide precise control over particle removal at various brewing stages. Mesh bags excel at hop straining, while felt bags remove finer proteins and suspended particles during wort clarification.
Recommended Filter Selection:
- Hop Straining: Nylon mesh (200-600 micron) for whole hop removal
- Wort Clarification: Polyester felt (25-100 micron) for protein removal
- Yeast Recovery: Extended life polypropylene (10-50 micron)
Key Benefits
- Food-safe materials with full brewing compliance
- Maintains beer flavor profile during clarification
- Quick changeouts minimize production delays
- Compatible with existing brewing equipment
Brewing Applications
Consider temperature ratings for hot wort applications. Multi-bag systems provide redundancy during peak production periods.
