Re: filtering?
ditch the turbos!
ya you git higher ABV wash but then you throw more away in cuts.
go to "tried and true recipes" some are quit simple and will be much better.

Re: filtering?
that was my last turbo. i've aleady discovered the magic of birdwatchers recipe.
i was just curious as to whether running it twice turbo or otherwise eliminated the need for carbon filtering

Re: filtering?
That depends on your tastes. If you like it, it's OK. IF not, and you have the carbon, filter it. Or you could just use it for parts cleaner and chalk one up to experience.larisk wrote: i was just curious as to whether running it twice turbo or otherwise eliminated the need for carbon filtering
