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:

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!

Sorry buddy, I usually see these type of posts but somehow I missed it.
As for your question im a little confused. You have the right info but it does also depend on your filter type and what you are filtering. EO with BB and BA can eat away some sealers in filters and the filter themselves.

You are on the right track and for your question of removing the filtered oil. I take a syringe and poke through the filter and use a new needle to put into a sterile vial.
