Vinbrite filter question

[faeyd]

Hi all,

I am a little concerned that the splash created by using the Vinbrite filter just before bottling is going to cause me oxidation problems. The drop from filter to the bottom of a 5 gallon carboy is pretty high so I know it's going to be very splashy.


Any advice on minimizing splash or if I can ignore my concern because it won't be a serious issue?

I use the same filter and was concerned about the splashing also, I’ve pushed suitable sized food grade tubing a short way into the funnel section long enough to reach the bottom of the vessel I filter into.

Seconded, I do the same myself as seen here, 4th pic down.

Good stuff guys, thanks.

Horden, what diameter is the tubing that you have put onto the filteroutlet? 8mm?

It is 10mm tubing. If you can't buy it locally, I got mine from here. If you order it from there, click on the options box to choose the 10mm size.
