Filtering Sugar Wash to remove yeast

Postby Ơbї-Wдη Kєηºb¡ » Thu Nov 14, 2013 1:23 pm

Is there any way to filter out the yeast and spent yeast from the wash? The reason I ask is that I have to transport the finished wash to a mates to run it off, and I don't want to wait to let it resettle if I don't really have too. :shifty:

if its already settled to the bottom of your fermentation tank could you not siphon it off into another vessel? leaving the sediment at the bottom?

:text-+1: It would also be better to syphon them off into something with a secure lid in case they tip over in you car

You could add finings/gelatine to help get the yeast out of suspension before siphoning if you are short on time :handgestures-thumbupleft: :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Is there a reason you can't just put it down at your mates to begin with?

+1

half a tablespoon of gellatin in a warm cup of water, drop it into the wash and give it a slight stir, you will find that within half an hour all the yeast drops right to the bottom and hardly moves when you move the fermenter... You could do this at your mates place after moving it...
