Hi guys!
I just found this forum today and i feel to register, so you guys look to know a lot about homebrew, and i was looking for a community like this for at leats 3 weeks. Well, i am spanish, but living in Holland, hope there some EU people also. I am enough documented to do my first bre, but before i need some advices of you if it is possible. I was thinking to start with a syringe filter but i decided that not, i am gonna go directly to filtration systems. As i was reading people usually use millipore, nelgene and some other whatman zapcap. I know all of them are made of plastic and can be cracked or melted, so i decided to looks for a glass ones, but Holland is so small country that i couldn't find a shop where i can get them, so i started to look online. In other forum a guy recommended me this staff:
FILTRATION SYSTEM

FILTERS

But really i am a bit lost with them, above all for the filters. I think any recieved glass will be g2g, but what about the bottletop, also any one made of glass is ok? And about the filters...i don't feel to trust a lot in this chinese filters, ehhehehe. What do you think? or which filter should i use?
And another question, that maybe is stupid, but i am not sure. One time my brew is done and filtered, i unmount the system and i have the recieved glass full of filtered oil, so i have to take it with a syringe and put it a sealed vial, but nothing happend if that reciever glass has contact with the air right? Simple take the oil and put in a sealed vial with another needle on the rub to allow oil going in and air going out, am i on the correct way?
Thanks a lot to all of you and i hope posting here for a long!
Regards!
