UBREW USA Fermtech Mini 2 Stainless Steel Wine/Beer/Juice/Kombucha/Liquid filter System. Home Pro 10 inch. Mini Jet Technology. Single

The filter preformed very well. Has had much use and still working great

The product works fine but I dropped the Plastic Filter case and it has a small crack which will only get worse and start leaking but the Vendor has not answered as to whether they can supply a replacement. I really need to get a replacement as this is an excellent device but with a cracked Filter will be worthless. Your assistance is being sought, urgently!

excellent filtre mais instruction pour utilisation faible

I’ve been using the Buon Vino Mini Jet filter for several years, and while it does work, it was always a messy process with noticeable product loss no matter how carefully I tightened the plates or tried to manage the flow. Cleanup was never quick, and every filtration felt like more work than it should have been. After doing some research, I decided to try the Fermtech Mini 1 Pro. I typically do 6 gallon or smaller batches, so the Mini 2 felt like overkill for my setup. To say I’m happy with the Mini 1 would be an understatement. I filtered a 6 gallon batch twice in about a quarter of the time it would have taken me to do a single pass with the Buon Vino. The flow rate is consistent, the setup is simpler, and the process is far cleaner. Most importantly, I had far less product loss. That alone is a big deal if you care about keeping as much of your wine as possible. Cleanup is also much easier and faster, which makes the whole bottling day less of a chore. The only real downside I’ve found is the hardware used to mount the pump and feet. Two of the feet were off when I opened the box, though all the hardware was in the box so I just attached them. I didn’t think to check anything else until after two filtrations, when I noticed two nuts were missing from the pump mounts during cleanup. I was lucky enough to find one in the sink and one on the floor and put them back on. It works fine now, but I do wish they had used lock washers or thread locking hardware in those spots. My advice is simple. When you get it, check all the nuts and bolts before first use. Overall, for small batch winemaking, the Fermtech Mini 1 Pro is a huge upgrade over the Buon Vino Mini Jet. It is faster, cleaner, wastes less wine, and makes filtering far less frustrating. Despite the minor hardware issue, I would absolutely buy it again and recommend it to anyone doing 6 gallon or smaller batches.
