Finally, an affordable and reusable filtration solution for home brewers! Use the Bouncer inline between your fermenter and keg, or between your boil kettle and your fermenter. Removes trub, hops, and particulates without aerating. It's easy to add to your setup, easy to clean, and easy to use. You'll get more out of each batch, since you don't have to avoid the trub layer as carefully. Pays for itself in a few batches! There are three basic ways to use the Bouncer inline filter: 1) out of the brew kettle 2) out of the fermenter 3) out of your serving tap. To use your bouncer out of the brew kettle, simply connect it to your brew kettle valve with standard tubing, or cut your siphon tube line near the top, and insert the barbs into the tube. Pay attention to the arrow that indicates the flow direction. Make sure you have disassembled the bouncer and dipped it in sanitizer just before you use it. Then open your valve, or pump your siphon. If the flow decreases too much, you can stop the flow, remove the bowl and filter, rinse, sanitize, reinstall, and keep going. On a heavily hopped IPA, or a 10 gallon batch, you might find you need to clear it several times. To use your Bouncer out of your fermenter, cut your siphon tube near the top, and push the barb ends into the tubes, paying attention to the flow direction arrow. The barb ends fit a standard siphon. Make sure to sanitize right before you use it. You might find a bubble develop in the filter bowl - this isn't air, it's carbon dioxide from your beer. Just lift the barbed ends so they are level and the bubble should clear down the tube. Finally, you can hack a mini Randall out of your bouncer. Try orange peels for a Blonde Ale, cracked coffee beans in a Porter, or cloves in your Pumpkin Ale.

Works decently. Strains out trub but clogs quickly. I take care to allow particulate to flocculate out of the beer before transferring to the keg. I use a conical fermenter and even with all these precautions the filter clogs quickly. If you want clear beer I would recommend coupling this with finings or a brite filter.

If you get three of these and put them in line with successively smaller mesh filter elements that you can buy, they make a great filter. Be sure to put a line clamp upstream of the filters so you can take the course one off to empty it when you need.

With additional finer mesh screens, the system works well. However, due to the units SMALL SIZE, the screens will clog quickly with heavily hopped processes. I still prefer it than no filter at all. š I highly recommend you give it a try.

Per quello che costa mi aspettavo meglio, si opacizza la parte trasparente al cambio di temperatura dei liquidi, rendendo impossibile vedere i residui di mosto all'interno...

Iāve never left a review for anything on Amazon. This is my first because this thing is amazing. I bought the additional screen kit and have not used the red one that it came with. But I used the white one and it clogged up fast transferring a NEIPA from a pressurized spike conical fermenter to a keg. So I flipped it out for the blue one and that worked perfectly. When I was done transferring 5 gallons the filter was packed with hop matter. So glad that didnāt go into the keg. I canāt believe Iāve gone 6 years of brewing without this. Make sure you get the additional screen pack. I have yet to try the red screen and I personally think is a bit large, but again havenāt tried that one yet.

I tried to use a cheap import, but it leaked and had to be returned. These are excellent quality units and do just what you need them to do. If I had to nitpick, the red filter seems pretty porous unless you are pumping some serious matter with your wort, but I knew going in that I was also buying the blue and the white filters. It's still worth the money, but it would be nice if there was a way to buy it without the red one or to bundle it with all three. In fairness to the red filter, it would stop your poppet from getting plugged with a gelatin blob or some other big chunk that gets sucked in during a closed transfer. If avoiding an interrupted closed transfer is the goal, the red filter should suffice. The main takeaway is that it's a quality product that runs circles around the knockoff options.

I like to throw hops directly into the fermenter when dry hopping. This can cause some issues when brewing a high hop beer. I've used this on 3 batches now and it has worked great. It catches most of what would normally be transferred to my keg. Easy to take apart and clean.

I thought I was actually getting punked when I opened the package- this thing is TINY! It is maybe 3 inches tall, and very compact. The quality seems good, and the additional filters are a must. I donāt cold crash my fermenter....(yet.... Iām counting pennies so I can run glycol) so that makes it difficult to close-transfer super hoppy beers to my kegs without problems. This seems like a reasonable solution till I can drop a grand on SS Brewtech.Again, added screens are a must!
