I started to filter my wine and the wine is leaking all over the place. Whats wrong?
If you have the filter pads and plates installed properly and all hoses and connections properly fitted, the most likely cause is clogged filter pads. This the most common reason for excessive leaking and spraying. You will have to either add more finings to your wine or get some coarse filter pads to pre-filter your wine. You will then have to re-filter your wine with finer pads. You should be aware that fine filter pads are used to polish a clear wine. Your wine may look clear to the eye but still clog up fine filter pads very fast.
