How does a Wine Filter Kit work?

The filter works by using a series of filter pads that remove unwanted particles from the wine by filtering. The wine is syphoned into the top of the filter, and gravity pulls it through the filter pads, which trap the unwanted particles.

The filtered wine then flows out of the bottom of the filter and into a sterilised container or demijhon suited for your wine

Using a wine filter kit on cider kits, is a good idea to remove the yeast is you want a still cider, from your cider kits but be aware of the foam that may be produced while you are using it, this happen due to the natural co2 in the cider, use a degasser 1st to remove the co2

If heavy sedimet is in the wine, if you add finings a few days before and then transfer to a sterilised demijohn 1st there will be less sedement for the filter kit to remove.

It can take time to to filter the wine, if there is a lot of sediment in the wine or if fine pads are being used
