Activated Carbon

Post by **MisterSteve124** » Sat Dec 15, 2007 7:52 pm

Well instead of ordering activated carbon online I saw some activated carbon at the pet store. It wasn't like the cheap kind that comes in the filters. It was something like this http://www.petsolutions.com/default.asp ... ID=FROOGLE. Either that or I was just going to use a brita water filter. I have read that they work well in purifying cheap liquor and making it taste a heck of a lot better. Has anyone ever tried using either of these?

Check out this link http://www.kcdrinker.com/content/2005/0 ... /cheap.htm,
also if you google "brita filter vodka" get quite a few hits. Personally I've never tried it so I am only speculating.

I think I'm going to try it on my wife. She can't drink any wine without getting a horrible headache. So I'll run some wine through a couple times and see if she gets one. If she doesn't it has to take some of the crap out of it which is basically what we want to do with spirits.

Here's another experiment of it: http://www.monzy.com/?p=238

I think you will find there is too much crap in wine for it to be effective, anything thats fermented and bottled has all the nasties in it that we attempt to remove by distilling. The brita on vodka apparently tidies up liberal cuts, but they are cuts just the same.

I wanna see if what's growing in my Peach Brandy is harmfull. Can we try that on your wife too?

And there's that question in Mash about whether Methanol will kill you, can we try that out on her too?

Google "Gray Kangaroo" and you will find a carbon filter specifically designed for cheap commercial booze, I never tried it myself but it's probably a better idea than a filter designed for water.

I have seen the gray kangaroo and the vodka stick and a bunch of others. But I would bet that they are very similar to what a brita has. The brita also has activated carbon in the filter.
