Hop removal and Clarification
Beer filter bags
Filter bags are integrated at multiple stages of beer production to address different filtration needs:
- Hop removal: Removal of fine hop particles.
- Mash Separation (Brew-in-a-Bag Method): In homebrewing and small-scale operations, filter bags are used to separate grains from the wort during mashing.
- Trap Filtration After Fermentation: Post-fermentation, filter bags act as trap filters to remove residues like diatomaceous earth (DE) particles from bulk filtration, preventing off-flavors and haze.
- Clarification: Bags are employed to improve visual appeal without stripping essential flavors
