Can I over-filter my beer?
If you are worried about the yeast getting through that bag, you have nothing to worry about. When we talk about sterile filtration, the generally accepted size of the filter is .45u (micron). 1000 ...

Can I over-filter my beer?
No. Unless it's a cloudy style that relies on particulates.

Making wine with fruits?
