Alcohol Fermentation

Fermentation is where sugars meet science — transforming fresh apple juice into cider with distinctive flavour, aroma, and character. But along with alcohol and CO₂, fermentation can introduce unwanted yeast, bacteria, and haze that compromise stability, clarity, and shelf life.

Filtration plays a vital role in managing these challenges. At BHF, we provide specialised filters that help cider makers control yeast and microbes, clarify haze and solids, and deliver cleaner, brighter cider ready for conditioning or maturation. By supporting stability at this critical stage, filtration safeguards flavour while ensuring batch-to-batch consistency.

With Australasia’s largest range of filtration media, cartridges, and housings, we help match the right filter to the unique demands of each fermentation. Our expertise ensures cider makers can maintain high hygiene standards, minimise rework, and optimise efficiency, all while protecting the natural fruit character that defines great cider.

Strong fermentation starts with smart filtration. BHF helps you keep your cider clean, consistent, and ready for the next stage.
