I actually just made a filter device using a large stainless inline filter. I made an orlon sleeve that slides over and clamps on the inner perforated metal cylinder. I use DE with it and a guzzler hand pump and it works amazing. It works under the same concept as a filter press, but just cylindrical instead of flat plates....and WAYYYYY cheaper.
I find that it also works way better than my vacuum filter I built and equally well as my SmokyLake press for 1 to 3 gallon batches. Really seems ideal for smaller producers who struggle with filtering and dont want to spend the money on a press. Plan to create a video overview of it soon.
