Joe,
What did you pay for it at Musca?

I don't want to substitue it for fining but I was
thinking the minijet might buy me that last
month that some of my wines are taking to
fall clear.

The other possibility is a bit more head on
the drip filter which I'm considering doing
anyway because it's taking about 45+ min
with a clear wine.
