Rum clouding during dilution problem - SOLUTION

Post by Scienceguy »

Sorry some of the pictures are sideways. If you click on them, they open up, upright

It's not every time, but fairly often when I am diluting my rum, it gets all cloudy. I have tried adding distilled water to the rum, rum to the distilled water. I have tried going slow. I have tried using a stirring rod on a stir plate. I often still get cloudiness.

I bought a filter to polish some of my vodka. It is a filter that is operated using a vacuum pump. It allows me to use activate dcarbon and get zero carbon transfer into my final product. I did not buy mine from Amazon, but this is the one I have.

It has a 0.22 micron filter. I removed the carbon (so it would not affect the flavor of the rum) and ran the cloudy rum through the filter and it cleared up in one pass.

It may not be the most practical solution, but it is at least one possible solution.
