Re: Filtering.

BG I have a feeling he had a T500 still. He didn't deni or confirm it? Not the best still to make a whiskey with. Hello, back again, sorry, they just put the power back on in Australia.

Re: Filtering.

@ bigdownunder:- Do as they say. My first attempt was with the Turbo Yeast, as I was advised and conned out of nearly $10.00.

Re: Filtering.

I'm guessing you picked up a T500? And let me guess the bouncey ball and destructions told you that you don't need to make cuts with that still? This is the biggest load of horse pucky sales gimmick.

Filtering.

Hello, I have read a few posts as to whether filtering is necessary or not. It would seem it is a matter of taste. HOWEVER - a friend who is an industrial chemist has warned me that it is necessary due to residual toxins in the brew and is dangerous if consumed regularly. I am sure my method isn't u...
