    cheese cloth is the best and you can reuse it

    anything finer and you’ll need a special filter especially for beverages. What you could do is put it through a burlap filter, then a cheese cloth filter so that the burlap filters the bigger stuff first.

    You already have pretty much all of the yeast on the bottom of your secondary fermenter. If you don’t try to siphon the last drop of beer into the bottling bucket, you can have very clear beer. What little you miss will settle out in the bottom of the bottle. On the other hand, if you pour your wort, you will introduce oxygen. Do you like the taste of cardboard? Because that’s what oxidized beer tastes like.

    It’s better to just let the beer sediment settle on it’s own home filtering will aerate the beer. Damaging the taste.
