HELP FILTER ISSUES

[Christiefresh1]

Hi guys so I brewed 300ml of deca 300 and I brewed 500ml of test 400 (200/200 test e, test c). I filtered using bottle top filter and vacuum pump with heat lamp to help with smooth flow. Now here’s my issue. The 500ml of test 400 took about 2 hours to filter, but the 300ml of deca 300 took like 15-20 minutes. Is this normal? Does deca generally filter nice and quick or do most brews all take roughly the same amount of time and in the hours? Did my filter blow out and it just poured through or is this normal??

If your filter broke open the oil would flow faster than 20 minutes.

Did you use a new filter fit the deca? While deca isn't the thinnest brew around, test 400 is a bit heavy and depending on carrier I could see it taking a while comparative to the deca

When in doubt refilter I guess?

it doesn't sound like the filter blew out, but it wouldn't hurt to refilter it.
