I'm pretty sure this has been done, but I can't really find it.

Anyway... filtering.

I was looking at probably a 1micron filter. I know the theory, but how does the filtering affect the beer flavour at this porosity? I was really only looking at filtering lagers, but the odd ale may get the treatment too.

Anyone had experience with a filter less than 1micron? If so, how has it worked out?

Ross' filter looks like the one to go for, but I am still uncertain about the effect on the flavour.

I believe Ross filters all his beers. Might be worth giving him a ring considering you're thinking of buying his product.

I had the good fortune to taste a few of Ross' beers on one occassion and can tell you that none of them were lacking in flavour. I am pretty certain they were all filtered with the same filter he sells and though I did not taste them against the unfiltered batch, I would not be worried myself about losing much if any flavour to this process.

Hmmm... might give Brother Craftbrewer a call.

I have the very filter your on about and have experimented and never noticed any flavour loss

Great How is it for beer clarity?

You still need to use polyclar for any chill/protien haze but all in all its pretty good

That's what I wanted to hear. Looks like I'm going to start filtering!

Ordered my filter! New toy- and hopefully better beer

That filter removes impurities from water by means of a fine physical barrier, a chemical process or a biological process. Filters cleanse water to various extents for drinking water.

He was actually speaking of a filter that you run your beer through after its finished fermenting not purifying the brewing water.
