On March 3rd, we filtered and bottled the Chard. We started with glass containers and used the fine filters. We then moved into the SS kegs and used the medium filters. Finally, we filtered the dregs from all containers using the medium filters. We used the medium filters last due to the trouble we had last time with fine filters plugging up easily. We only ran the wine through the filters once, then bottled. We ended up with two cases plus three bottles for each of us. We will need to watch this Chard and see if we have any problems we might tie back to only filtering once. We may want to get more filters and run the wine through twice (medium followed by fine filters) next time. I would also recommend that next time we use the filter system, we have a flat pan with wine to presoak the filters rather than using water. It seems like we lose several bottles of wine waiting for the water from the filters to run through the system before we get to quality wine to then bottle. Less waste maybe this way. Just Mike's humble opinion. Ciao! Mike
