Yesterday marked the completion of the rough filtration of all our wines from the cold stability process.
This year, about 7,000 gallons passed through the filter, and 8,000 gallons were moved (1k of reds were just racked and not filtered, which constitutes the majority of the work; detartrating tanks!
Everything went quite well. One major note I wanted to make: a 1.5″ triclover “T” placed at the intake of the filter greatly aided the process several ways:
Pump Priming
Bypass filter to fill dosing tank or place lees in dosing tank
