Can I ask a question as a newbie to all of this and still using an open set up of boilers and barrels and buckets. i dont understand the new idea of oxygen free, everyone seems to be doing oxygen free, i dont understand why and i dont understand the need for it. when you have to ferment the co2 fills the air space so it becomes naturally O2 free, i then gravity ssyhpon into the keg i use, does such a small air space which gets filled with co2 as well, why bother doing this. i can understand from a commercial point of view the brewery has a sealed policy but thats more for anti tamper or anti dirt or to run a hygene sealed system

Sure! Its not a new idea, what is new is the affordability for home brewers without having to buy many thousands of dollars worth of stainless steel pressurised equipment. Oxygen is the number one enemy of beer. Mainly well usually firstly seen in the difference from bottled beer to keg beer. Night and Day, unless you are extremely careful or use counter pressure fillers etc. Its all about freshness, making your hop aromas and flavours last. Dont get me wrong you can still get very nice beer in the way you do it, I did it for years. the amount of oxygen that can spoil beer is extremely small, its like a grain of sand on a beach, a very large beach. Whether you've noticed it or not just filling the keg with the top open is enough to damage a beer, some beers much more susceptible than others, well easier to notice the damage. Since kegs are usually stored cold that slows some damage too. Someone in a group last week did some oxygen tests at his work, filled and purged keg had around 40 ppb of oxygen left n the keg while one with the top open had 1013 ppb, its quite a difference. Sure if you're just brewing ales to drink and relatively quickly the normal methods will be fine, big booze and dark malts cover a multitude of sins as well. I dont brew big beers and I like my hoppy ales, IPAs and Pilsner/Lagers and these beers really benefit from some extra care, especially since im usually the only one drinking them so some can sit in a keg for a couple of months, where they used to drop of after a few weeks, I'm finding they stay much fresher longer, which is a win for me. Also even looking at it from another angle I need variety of things for my channel! but this is more than that, its those hop aromas and flavours that last longer and fresher is what does it for me! Cheers Pete!

It dosen't matter until the "After the first few days of Fermentation" Stage. Initially the yeast needs oxygen to multiply and start growing. Then it starts using the sugars and tuning them into alcohol with CO2 as a byproduct. I just syphon my beer into a Plastic Cask but I take care not to splash as I do that and purge the filled Cask with CO2 from and S30 cylinder prior to sealing. That stops the beer from oxidising in the cask so it tastes better and lasts longer. The procedure shown is better because of the complete elimination but less than perfect is also OK.

If you are doing bottle conditioned beer, that uses up a lot of ingressed O2 or even keg conditioned would work as well. The fermenting yeast in the packages will use thespare O2.

There is a better way to clean the filter. Hook it up *backwards* to the keg that is filled with the sterilizing solution and push sterilizing solution through it backwards and into the drain. It is called back flushing. Then store the filter element in the freezer so that nothing grows on it until you use it next time.

I know it’s been quite a wile and you may have found your answer already. Sodium/ potassium metabisulfite stops being effective after about 24 hours. The free sulfur levels drop below a certain threshold and it becomes ineffective at sanitizing.

Did you take a before and after picture?

#1) It is great that you mentioned purging the filter by filling it with something and pushing it out with CO2. #2) You make a great point about Starsan having a bunch of O2 in it that will eventually make its way into the beer. I like that you are using Potassium Metabisulphate. Good call. What is the brand name of Potassium Metabisulphate and where did you get it ? I've never seen a bottle of it before. Good video.

After thinking i had chill haze in my last two beers and making more hoppy beers.. I decided to try filtration and to use an 12v air vac pump to pull sanitizer from 19l keg through filter into a receiving keg. then vac fresh water. and then starsan. Once everything is clean. i drain out the 19l keg. and the filter. put the filter in line from the fermenter bucket with a syphon tube. Close the inlet valve of filter and pressurize and purge with Co2. then i fit the vac pump to the co2 port of the 19l keg start vacing and open the filter inlet. This pulls the beer from the fermenter bucket through the filter into the keg. Although it looks like air is being pulled in. this is actually Co2 coming out of the beer. I watch the level in the bucket as it gets close to 19l empty i watch the clear vac line and stop when foam starts getting drawn up the vac line. This results in perfectly clear . No noticeable loss in flavour , but flat beer. Which i force carbonate. Brilliant for speeding up clearing time and beer to transport without having to let the sludge settle out again.. Not sure about shelf life as it all gets consumed very quickly. I dismantle the filter wash it under a tap. And then reassemble and do repeated cleans of sanitizer and water and starsan again using the vac pump to pull the cleaners from a small keg through the filter into a receiving. leaving sanitizer in the filter. ready for another pre wash before transferring the next ready brew 1micron filter clears everything. the Air vac pump can't pull liquids through it directly . So the principle is to create lower air or co2 pressure in the receiving vessel. Works really well rather than using pressure to move the liquids. As it's not possible to pressurise a lid type fermenter. bucket .And syphoning through a filter would be very slow or ineffective method due to the filter resistance.

They are not 1 micron.

Is that a 1 micron absolute or the much cheaper nominal filter type? I tried a 1 micron absolute and it took ages to pass the beer through it. I haven't bothered since. I probably should dust it off and give it another go.
