with a screw-on lid: You can get on at Amazon through that link or Home Goods is a good place to get these locally for a reasonable price. You can get smaller ones for smaller batches but I wouldn’t recommend it unless space is really THAT tight for you. I’d also recommend having 4 of them if you plan to make numerous batches of Limoncello for your friends too.
. I like one with a steep angle of the handle that allows me to get to the bottom of tall jars and has little pour spouts on the sides.
. I use a plastic one but I now use metal or glass rather than plastic whenever possible, so when I break the plastic one I’ll get a metal one.

hi, I have been making limoncello for probably 15 years now. im at the point where I need to make 6 gallons to satisfy demand. I have always struggled with a good way to filter it before bottling. I currently run it through cheese cloth and nylon bags 4-6 times until in flows pretty quickly. I don’t feel like im getting enough particle out as I still get a decent ‘il collarino’.
coffee filters are much much too slow for me.
im thinking that using a micron bag/filter would be better. do you have any experience using these and what micron measure would be good?
thanks
Steven
I was thinking of trying paper paint filters. They come in various mesh sizes: 100, 120, 190 microns, etc.
