Question 1

Can coffee filters be used in the absence of filter pads?

Accepted Answer

I would not advise it. For one, you are not going to get adequate filtration and two, I believe a coffee filter is not going to hold up through a complete  filtering of 6 gallons of wine.

Question 2

Can this be used to remove sediment from purchased wine that was never filtered?

Accepted Answer

It should work but if you are just doing a bottle at a time, it would be a little pricey. Refill packs run around $13 for 5 filters so you would be looking at $2.50ish for each filter you use.

Question 3

Does this filter better than doubled coffee filters, which I use for my final racking?

Accepted Answer

I've only used Vinbrite filters. The kit comes with three filter types, depending on your needs.I would have to say yes, it should do a better job than double coffee filters.

Question 4

Hello, I have a 1000 l of wine and would like to filter, please let me know how many pads I need for filter 1000l?

Accepted Answer

I apologize but I’m struggling converting liters and milliliters to U.S. standards.  I can tell you that depending on the filter pad you use, the number I came up with was one pad for every 25, 750ml bottles.  Some people run their wine multiple times through a clean filter to clarify their wine as much as possible.  Clarifying red wines is the worse.  So to answer your question, 1 pad for every ~25 bottles of wine.  Your results may vary.
