Now, the next step to brewing beer is the conditioning and filtering. These two steps will be what makes your beer the color you desire and the flavor you love. On the other hand, not all beer is filtered. What does conditioning and filtering do?
Conditioning is where the beer is cooled to around freezing
This encourages the yeast to settle
The beers flavor becomes smoother
Now pressure is used to prevent beer from going flat
Now it gets filtered and processes through screens
This removes yeast and solids, how much depends on the filters.
To tight of filters will remove the color and body from the beer
There are several types of filters, which include:
Rough-removes much of the yeast and solids
Fine-you could read a newspaper through it because it is so clear from removing almost all of it
Sterile-almost all microorganisms are removed.
