This Scott Labs’ produced video explains the basics of plate filtration in a snappy eight minute video. Topics include filter order and positioning, rising and sanitation and two stage filtration. The videos also explain why you need a diversion chamber if different grades of filters are being mixed.

Mark – This is a great teaching video…all new, small wineries should be aware of this type of resource. Kudos to Scott Labs for posting this, and their other videos on their website.
Thanks Patrick. Scott Labs has been a great supporter of Midwest Wine Press. The people there really believe in expanding grape growing and viticulture to all regions. I hope Midwest Wine Press readers will consider Scott Labs for their winemaking supply needs.
