Hey, so this will be my first time homebrewing, and I had some questions in regards to filtering that I couldn't find here(unless I'm blind).
I plan on using a vacuum filter opposed to syringe filters, but most the info I see here is in regards to the syringe filters. I already ordered a 500ml Nalgene Nylon Membrane Complete Filter - 0.2 pore for filtering the oil, and then a 250ml Whatman Klari-Flex Complete Filter System - 0.45 to filter the finished product. were these good choices? I'm reading about zap caps now, so I'm curious if I should use those instead.
Also i've heard mention elsewhere of prefilters. How are these used, and are they even necessary?
