STEP 3 - FILTERING THE WASH
We recommend that the 700ml (23 fl oz US) of
collected alcohol be mixed with 300ml (10 fl
oz US) of water and then passed through a Still
Spirits Air Still Carbon Filter System to improve
the purity before you add your selected flavour
and make up to the final volume of 1 Litre (1
US Quart).
Instructions for using the Still Spirits Air Still
Carbon Filter
1. Rinse the Carbon cartridge under running
water for 20 seconds before use. This
removes any excess mineral salts.
2. Fit the carbon cartridge to the Filter Holder
( Fig 1) taking care to ensure the foam
washers are fitted between the filter and
both ends of the cartridge.
3. Place the filter holder into the top of the
Filter Container .
4. Dilute the distilled spirit to 40% by adding
300ml (10 fl oz US) of clean water. This is
necessary for the filter to operate properly.
5. Fill the Filter Holder with the distilled spirit
and allow to drip into the Filter Container.
Leave room to add the flavour.
6. The spirit is now ready to be flavoured with
Still Spirits flavour essences to make your
favourite spirits and liqueurs.
TIPS
If you chose to produce 1125ml (40 fl oz US)
of spirit from each run through the still then
you will have collected 800mls (27 fl oz US).
Add 325ml (11 fl oz US) to this and make up
to 1125ml (40 fl oz US) leaving room for the
flavour.
Remember to change the carbon cartridge
after each bottle.
If you use another type of filter then follow
the instructions supplied with your filter.
