Milbank bag filtration ?

Post by Pikey »

HAs anyone tried one of these ?

I have 2 or 3 genuine ones and they are absolutely brilliant for getting the murkiest river water crystal clear. I look at my cloudy rum tails and just wonder :wink:

[ Edit - perhaps good to give a link :

Thanks rg - they seem to use those as "prefilters" for water filters - to save the filters clogging too quickly.

will they get the "Cloud" out of rum tails ?

I've never used them for high proof spirits but I think they could turn shit clear!
