Advantages and disadvantages of manual filtration methods

Manual wine filtration is a long-standing method applied by many people to help make wine clearer and cleaner. But is this method really effective or not, what advantages and disadvantages does it have? Let’s analyze with Gipwin in the article below.

Some simple manual wine filtration methods

Rice wine is produced by manual distillation method for generations. The winemaking process requires a lot of complicated steps, requiring the maker to be meticulous and careful in each stage.

To make wine clearer and cleaner, simple manual wine filtration methods are often used.

Manual wine filtration with cotton

Material:

• Filter cotton
• Wine cans
• Hopper

How to proceed:

• Let the filter cotton evenly cover the funnel. The funnel is placed on the mouth of the can to catch the wine after filtering
• After distillation, wine is poured through a funnel containing filter cotton, the finished wine will be obtained

This method removes the residue, dirt in the wine, and some of the toxins are also retained by the cotton.

However, filtering wine by this method will lose a lot of wine. Wine can be run out, lost the smell of alcohol.

Wine manually filteration with sand and activated carbon

Material:

• Water filters
• Filter sand bag

How to proceed:

• Put filter sand, activated carbon into the water filter
• Slowly pour the wine into the strainer. The wine will be filtered through each layer of sand and activated carbon

The wine after filtering by this method is less lost in the filtration process. Impurities and dirt in wine are removed but not completely removed.

Time-consuming: These are all manual methods, although the method is simple, but the efficiency is not high. It takes a lot of time and effort but doesn’t filter a lot.

Not hygienic: During the filtration process, if not carefully monitored, it can be not clean. The dirts and insects will fly into the jars and containers.
