Watch as Davin shows you how to use the Harris Filters Vinbrite Filter kit.
This filter is great for making a crystal clear and clean home made wine.
Even if you have used finings and think you wine is perfectly clear, there is still a lot of particulate matter suspended in your wine.
You'll be surprised how much the filter catches and even more surprise at the before and after taste.
The Harris Vinbrite Filter makes a huge difference to the finished wine, improving it's flavour, mouthfeel and crispness.
Removing the impurities that are masking all the delicate flavours in the wine really lets you taste the wine as it should be.
Buy your Harris Vinbrite Filter and filter pads on our Brewbitz Homebrew webstore - www.brewbitz.com/products/har....

I used my auto-siphon to prime the filter, for filling. It works easily! 🍷

@jameskohut6186 6 месяцев назад

Putting a flexible plastic tube from the exit spout on the filter to the bottom of the carboy will reduce the amount of air that gets into the wine and reduce oxidization.

@Brewbitz 6 месяцев назад

Yep, this is something we do. We also gave a support for buckets and the filtered wine runs down the support and then down the inside of the bucket.

@Johnny76624 4 месяца назад

10mm (inner diameter) clear pvc tube fits perfectly.

good tecnical filter

@Cardassiaprime 3 года назад

good informative demo video, just the ticket for me because believe me Peanut butter wine need a whole bunch of filtering. Thanks for sharing. Barnie.

@Brewbitz 3 года назад

Hi. Only clear wines should be filtered.

@jgrillo638 6 лет назад

Is that bucket you are filtering ready for bottling or are you transferring to carboy for secondary fermentation

@mikesan65 3 года назад

Do I have to sterilise the vin Britney filter?

@pumpkineater69seven17 4 года назад

Hi great video One problem for me is my filter looks exactly like yours but doesn't have the second hole for the little tube and tap what should I do?

@Brewbitz 4 года назад

There are a couple of different filters out there. You’ll need to find the instructions. Google is an amazing tool. Somewhere on your filter should be an embossed name or product number. Good luck.

u really wine lover 😂😂😂

@mattgreen8665 3 года назад

Your middle screw on wheel you mentioned said one side face the pad and the other side face the paper. But there was no paper? Is that just an additional filter you can add?

@Brewbitz 3 года назад

Yes. Thats if you used a paper filter instead of the polishing filter.

Should you filter blackberry wine? I am trying my first batch of wine from blackberries from my backyard however your video on blackberry wine didnt show it being filtering...

@Brewbitz 5 лет назад

Hi. This was a video showing how to filter wine. Yes, you can filter your wine if you want. This will remove invisible sediment still in the wine and mean if you leave a bottle for a long time, there will be no sediment in the bottle. We also think it hells remove that yeasty flavour you can get when making a hedgerow wine.

@drycfc 3 года назад

Hi, I am looking to filter homemade liqueurs so peach liqueurs which have sediment which I want to remove and I have used nylon filters but there is always something left. Would you recommend using this to remove the final sediment?

@Brewbitz 3 года назад

Hi liqueurs tend to be a little thick. So you could try using the harris filters on a coarse filter. Otherwise you could look at a pressure filter.

@paulparmenter8584 Год назад

Do you need to sterilise the filter before you use it. Also what about the introduction of oxygen with the long drop to the carboy?

@Brewbitz Год назад

Hi. Yes you need to sterilise the filter, then add the filter pad, tuen prime the filter and then use it to filter the wine. Re the long drop, there is 2 easy options. 1 - You can put a 1/2 inch pipe on the bottom of the filter to guide the flow 2 - you can use the harris filter support if you are filtering into a bucket and the wine flows down the support and then down the side of the bucket - www.brewbitz.com/collections/filters-straining/products/harris-filters-vinbrite-filter-support Cheers & hope this helps.

@wassytrini 6 лет назад

Question for anyone: When your wine has finished filtering, there is liquid left in the Harris filter.... does that eventually drain out? I have removed both tubing in the hopes that it would but it doesn't seem to be happening. Do I chalk this little bit up to loss?

@Brewbitz Год назад

Or have it as a sneaky taster :)

@supermarine4244 6 лет назад

Hi, nice vids. I like the harris filter, but it has a flaw that when the wine is filtering through, it drops quite a fair bit, which aerates the wine on the drop which we do not want. Is there a fix for this ?

@robertharris7253 6 лет назад

Hi, there is an accessory for the vinbrite filter which is a support bracket to avoid this problem, this is available from your homebrew shop.

@petersteadman841 2 года назад

Hi, I was also worried about oxygen getting in to my brew when the filtered wine splashes in to the collection vessel. I read your response about the extra bracket and fail to see how it helps. Could you please explain further? I like the idea but the aeration thought is putting me off buying. Thank you, love the video too. 👍

@Brewbitz 2 года назад

The wine runs down the bracket and then down the side of the bucket. This helps prevent splashing and so minimises chance of oxygen getting into your wine. You could also purge your receiving bucket with co2. This pushes out the air and O2 above it so again prevents oxygen coming into contact with the filtered wine. Hope this helps

@petersteadman841 2 года назад

@@Brewbitz O' I see. Thank you so much. I'll be getting one. Have a great evening 👍

@carlrobson5745 3 года назад

Which pad do you need to use as this kit comes with 3 different ones. Filtered my kit but still cloudy.

@Brewbitz Год назад

If it is still cloudy, has it finished fermenting? check it has finished fermenting with a hydrometer. If it has finished fermenting, was the pad fitted correctly? The flow should be slow just a bit more than a drip. Is it a pectin or protein haze? Filters won't clear this. If it is a fruit or starchy vegetable wine, did you use pectolase (fruit) / Amylase (vegetable) to break down the pectin / starch? If not, this could be your problem. Hope this helps

@joshuaengelbrecht6743 4 года назад

Would this be good for a homebrew pure honey mead? Want to make some and am looking for a filter without just being lazy and pouring it through a pack of nylons

@Brewbitz Год назад

Hi. Yes. Once fully fermented, it will work.

@AliVeli-gb9np 6 лет назад

Can be used in beer flit?

@ezicash1 7 лет назад

how do we know which filter to use?

@Brewbitz 7 лет назад

Hi, sorry, what do you mean? This is the Harris Filter Vinbrite Kit, see here: www.brewbitz.com/filters-straining/70-harris-filters-vinbrite-mk3-filter.html That's what we use...

@ezicash1 7 лет назад

I have the Vinbrite filter came with 3 different pads but does not tell use how to use each pad or which one to choose.

@Brewbitz 7 лет назад

We use the thick pads that come out of the pad refill pack, these: www.brewbitz.com/1-posters/68-harris-filters-crystalbrite-pads.html If you have three thicknesses then I guess they are for different types of wine. For example if you have a wine that's very nearly clear then use the thinner ones. If you have a heavy wine that needs a lot more clearing then maybe the thickest one would be best. Hope that helps.

@backyardbrewingcookingando3847 6 лет назад

Do you ship across the pond to the U.S.A. ?

@robertharris7253 6 лет назад

Hi, the Vinbrite Filter is available to buy in the USA.

@abrahamsingh9139 2 года назад

Sir how can I get that filter

@Brewbitz 2 года назад

Hi. You can get this from our website here - www.brewbitz.com/collections/filters-straining/products/harris-filters-vinbrite-mk3-filter

@thomasjones-yc8lf 2 года назад

Why is it necessary to prime the filter?

@Brewbitz 2 года назад

Sometimes there can be particles on the filter pad that you want to make sure it doesn’t get into your wine, so quick flush through get rid of any of those. Hope this clarifies

@evanleebodies 3 года назад

I can remember when the filters were made of Asbestos.....happy days

@Marauder623 7 лет назад

I really hate the way it splashes. Are sterile filter pads available for this type of filter? .45 micron is the size.

@Brewbitz 7 лет назад

Marauder623 you could attach a tube to the outlet, so it doesn't splash. Here are the filter pads www.brewbitz.com/125-posters/68-harris-filters-crystalbrite-pads.html

@Marauder623 7 лет назад

oh, perfect, thank you.

@Brewbitz Год назад

We also have the filter attachment that allows you to use it in a bucket, and the filter fits in, so that it runs down the bracket to the side of the bucket, preventing splashing - www.brewbitz.com/collections/filters-straining/products/harris-filters-vinbrite-filter-support Cheers

@Mr.56Goldtop 7 лет назад

Did you need to change the pad for this much wine?

@Brewbitz 7 лет назад

seattwa it depends if has cleared well. Sometimes 1 pad is fine. Others, if you have disturbed the sediment then it can take multiple pads.

@CapoKevin100 7 месяцев назад

nice job on the video thanks. - it seems like a big nuisance tho

@Brewbitz 7 месяцев назад

Trust me, it’s worth it!!!

@mikesan65 3 года назад

Sorry should be vinbrite

@Brewbitz Год назад

Hi yes. as there could be bacteria on it that can cause your wine to turn to vinegar.

@debonpanton3366 19 часов назад

You lost me at the point when you had to suck on the filter in order to prime the filter. There MUST be a better way to do that. Also, seems that the wine is being aeriated while it is flowing into the carboy.

@Brewbitz 16 часов назад

You can use an auto syphon to start the flow f you do not want to suck on the vent tube. This is how the filter comes. You can attach a tube to the output so it flows down the tube to help prevent aeration. There is an attachment for buckets, but not carboys. Hope this helps
