Any feedback on the best filter for wine. I have seen three types that are
of interest,

the buon vino minijet and superjet http://www.leeners.com/winefilters.html
and the enolmatic filler/filter
http://www.stpats.com/CorkersFillingMachines.htm (scroll down)

I make wine from fruit and the description of the mini jet recommends for
kit makers. Does anyone have any experience using this filter with fruit
wines?

Are there any alternatives.

Thanks
Danny

You don¹t say how much wine you make. That is important in your
consideration for a filter. I have a Minijet and just love it. This is
perfect for filtering 5-10 gallons. I make many different fruit wines and
this filter works great. I think if you are more toward the higher end (10
or more gallons to filter) you may want to consider the superjet. I don't
have any experience with the enolmatic, so I can't really comment on it.

Is the 5 - 10 gallon limitation a duty cycle issue with the pump?

I usually will only be making in 6 gallon increments, but was hoping to, in
the spring/summer, doubling my production to 12 gallon batches.

Yes. Well, there are two reasons. First, unless your wine is really really
brilliantly clear, your filters will begin to get clogged up if you push too
much through it. The pads were designed for 5 gallons. Secondly, the pump
may burn out if you run it too long.
