Now, some of you may be thrown off by the odd black color the charcoal may be giving your vodka, but listen up. The total cost of this apparatus, which includes 50 times the charcoal needed, was $20, you do the math, I'm thinking money-saver of the century. Maybe it's because I'm writing this article 6 shots deep, or maybe it's because I just saved college kid's and vodka-lovers alike hundreds (thousands?) of dollars, but I feel like this deserves a nobel prize. Just for the hell of it, we took a shot of Grey Goose to "compare" 10/10.obviously. This vodka just went from gag worthy liquid hell to pure magic, no joke.9/10 (not quite to Grey Goose level).

It fits filters down to 1 micron, which is excellent for such an. Just connect the lines between two Cornelius kegs and use CO2 pressure to push the wine through the filtration unit. Next, we tasted the 4x filtered Smirnoff, which now had a suspicious black tint to it. This filtration kit from Eagle Brewing works well for wine, though it is marketed primarily as a system for beer. (For a complete rundown on filtering, see Clear it Up in the October-November 2002 issue of WineMaker.) For more of the Wine Wizard’s wisdom, pick. Whatever your aim, the rule is to filter only if you have to or really want to. 2/10, no words needed, we all know this experience. Filtering never hastens the aging process (in fact, some might argue that it hinders a wine’s development). This Carbon filter system contains a specially formulated filter cartridge with no powdered granules making it easier to use. Now, we had been periodically testing the filtered vodka to see it progress (and the difference was obvious), however, now we wanted to compare different levels to see how it really holds up to its competition.įirst shot was the good ol' sting of original Smirnoff.

I am NOT a fan of regular Smirnoff, so I was extremely nervous for what was to come. Activated carbon filters work well for this. Knowing this, we tried it after each shot anyways, and can affirm that four filters is the sweet spot. Mead production predates wine and beer making in most ancient cultures, yet it is relatively uncommon today. There have been a lot of trials with both this process and the like-minded Brita filter process both of which recommend 3-4 filters. Now, you may be asking, does one filter do the trick? The answer is a hard NO. The idea here is simple: line your funnel with a coffee filter, put it in a cup, pour in some charcoal, and add your nasty vodka. So we gave this concept a try, and even compared it to some classy Grey Goose to give you the low down. This sounds simple right? Well, I'm all for a little science experiment (and saving money).
