My first.. product filter.

Many like to post about a first successful ferment (or first all grain mash), or first still built/bought or first good run of the still. Tell us about all of these great times here.
Pics are VERY welcome, we drool over pretty copper 8)

My first.. product filter.

Post by Od1tspyd3r »

So been thinking since my latest upgrade of a good way to filter product after ageing, either on fruit or wood of some sort.
Oh and I looking for the solution to be a column style.
So my inital thought was to use some copper and a couple reducers so example would be 10" of 1 1/2 reduce that to 10" of 1" and 8" or so of 3/4.
Section 1 large natural stone fish tank gravel and medium sized split 50 50.
Section 2 small gravel and some coarse sand
Section 3 cheese cloth

Im am wanting to filter the fine particulates out not change the flavor profile or add flavor.
Also considering using sch40 pvc.. looking for all and any feed back.

NO PVC! Read the rules we live by. If aged why do you need such filtering? Why not a coffee filter or throw away the nasty you can't pour the top off of? Perhaps try a Google search on our task bar for clearing or filtering.

Guess im over complicating the process, been using coffee filters. Should just stuck with KISS. Was wanting to fine filter the product "pollish it"
