I would be interested to see how others calculate for product loss as well as how much they use per whatever quantity of product.

Reply:Seth, That really depends on what type of system your using for filtering and how big a lot is being filtered. Often you can push most of the remaining spirit out of the filter using neutral gas or water if its plate and frame of cartridge, but what you push you don't want ending up in the final product. Recently I've been using cartridge filters (large ones) and when filtering you tend to lose about 5 gallons +/-. So when filtering if you can run big lots or daisy chain smaller lots together(segregating the overlaping spirit) since the cartridge is primed that might work for you. Cheers, BW
