You may as well have stated that your Llama is pregnant, your Grandmother loves Liquorice and that you are currently sucking coral in Australia.
It would all have been as meaningful to the casual observer.

I quite fancied the 1000mm jobbies. I am trying to perfect kings ginger, by the bottle, and there isn't a clear bit to rack off. But they are a bit pricey.

Test driving a wheat bag at the moment?

The lab glass is spot on. Remember it only needs to be big enough to take the sediment as you an rack off most of the clear stuff first.
A few smaller flasks is cheaper too.

I have considered using one of these..

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321889751977

Fit, lightly gas. Invert. When ready quickly bounce it on the adaptor (over the sink)

Not too fussed about the plastic, but they will be a bugger to sanitise. And even harder to fit to crown cap bottles!

Entertainment value was great.
For making fizz, they have only solved half the problem - I wonder if they know how to make fizz at all

But it has given me a cunning idea....

Looks like a tidy solution but I think needs the pressure of carbonation behind it which we wouldn’t have with spirits.

I’m finding the same issue after oaking my whisky, and it’s bloody annoying. Makes me wonder what the distilleries do, COD it must happen with their barrels ?.?

That's my thinking ED. Same as syphoning. But instead of removing the product from the sediment, I was thinking of removing the sediment from the product.

I use coffee papers, but you are right ordinary filtering doesn't do it.

For a couple of litres I guess there is not a better way of doing it.

I do use siphoning instead of filtering for a few of my products.
With time I can reduce a cloudy apple pie to a clear one.
And it looks classier.
Filtering wouldn't do it.
Siphoning is simple, cheap, and very visual.
Personal taste.

Hampk,
oooooooooooooo lab glassware - nearly as shiny as stainless. Good shout.

Klunk,
Thinking 1-2 litres, so equally I could drill a wire top jar. The 5l I have is a bit much (and full)

I’m not sure this is exactly what you had in mind, Mash, but you could put something along the lines of your idea with this sort of stuff, I’m sure

Might need some other bits and bobs as well, but lab glass wise, these guys have everything..

Cheers

I have the same problem Mash but what I do after filtering is store my product in 5 litre glass jars with a tap on the bottom. I never seem to get to the point where i'm drawing the crap off the bottom and just bottle up as I go along.
