I have seen "Bright Beer Sheet Filters" that claim to remove 99.995% of yeast or something silly like that. Though most breweries use 0.5 micron filters which remove about 95% then they flash pasteurise the rest
Anyway what was the original topic again?
The method sounds like a great idea Pommie. I have heard of people using a similar process to CC or Lager beers in the keg, they then force transfer the beer to a clean keg and carbonate it in there, though that sounds like more work than it is worth IMHO.
Only thing I would suggest is to purge the keg before you put the beer in not after.
