Filtering after ageing on wood
Posted: Wed Dec 07, 2011 10:58 am
Mentors,
So I made me some UJSSM and after that some SF. I put both on JD Oaking Chips for a few weeks. After that I filtered twice through coffee filters. Gave me a nice filtered sugar head (ehm ... I only starte using that phrase, since I started up my first all grainer; sorry!) whiskey. But ... and here it comes ... after about a week of rest in the bottle, I notice some cloudiness in the drink. So I filter again, this time through 2 coffee filters. The result seems clear to me (pun intended). Chrystal clear. But after another week of rest ... cloudiness again. Something swirling in my bottle. I think is has to do with the wooding. So I filter again, this time thru 3 coffee filters. Now eventhough the result looks good & tastes better, who knows what it will look like in a week or so? And ... aren't there some better ways to filter out oak after ageing?
Hope you guys can help.
