Abstract
There is good reason to believe that filtering (=straining) is as old as brewing, Fig. 5.1. The medieval verb filtrare relates to feltrum, meaning anything compacted to serve as filter medium; felt is compacted wool or hair (“nonwovens” in filtration parlance).
Time-tested: gravity assisted dead end filtration in ancient Egypt
