Nope. And here’s why.

The KLR Filter is designed to remove particles down to 1 micron from home brews. Most yeast cells are 1 to 2 microns in thickness, and larger particles are easily filtered using the KLR Filter system.

Finer sediment or silty residue is smaller than 1 micron. Do not let the siphon tube suck it into the KLR filter and into your carboy or bottles. Let it stay behind, as undisturbed as possible, when racking or bottling your home brew.

The only way to remove this type of ultra-fine residue is with a vacuum or pressurized system with a filter opening of less than 1 micron. These types of filters often strip color and flavors out of your home brew. I simply do not use them. My home brews have a rich, full bodied flavor and vibrant color as a result. This includes wine and beer.

Filter bodies, filter replacement cartridges, gaskets and seals can all be ordered from

The filter base is pretty heavy duty, so if it breaks for some reason it had a pretty rough life. They are closely inspected and functionally tested. If it is defective please return it within the 30 day policy window for a replacement. The filter base is not sold separately from the filter kit.

Each filter body is pressure tested prior to shipping, so this should not happen. The filters have a 30 day warranty. Return everything for either a refund or replacement.

The easiest thing is to run some hot water right along the seam where the body screws into the base. Let it get warmed up then then try again. It should unscrew relatively easily.
