Re: get the stank out
I suggest you try another yeast, it is easier to not have the stink before you distill and filter than to remove it. Try to use something like white labs high grav ale yeast. I had some bad experiences with red star champagne yeasts producing stink that was hard to remove (multiple redistillation a...

Is there any point it letting spirit sit on carbon for a week then? It looks like the filter's holding roughly the same amount as I'd add to a batch and the contact time is much shorter. Watershed, i just through a *week* out there , last year when i soaked some in carbon i let it set at least a we...
