i reccomend you don't bother with a "well made filter" or any betterfilter than cheesecloth, if any. accept the fact that there will besome crud at the bottom, and it's ok to throw it out. by filtering thedrink too much you take away other impurities that add to the flavorand character of it. the best thing i've found if you want to takemore yeast out of it is the seperate it twice, has always worked bestfor me. best of luck to you all in your endeavors =br>--- TerraCore Communications wrote:> I don't have experience with lab filters, sorry.>> At 12:01 AM 3/11/2004 +0000, you wrote:> >Would there be a problem with something like a... saltwater filter?> >It is used for separating the water from algae and seaweed but is a> >better filter than a coffee filter.
