Thanks for the tips, I think I am going to do a larger ceramic filter with a stainless steel screen for the stage 1 filter. I was wondering which size mesh to get… I was thinking about the 60, but here is the chart:

I plan on cutting pieces to fit into the ceramic buchner which is 12cm. I don’t usually run more than a few liters at a time but I don’t want to have it sitting in the biomass for longer while it filters. Hopefully with the stainless steel screen step I can get the alcohol out of the biomass quickly and then filter from there.
