Alcotec Pure Karbon Activated Carbon 1kg

Key features

• High-purity activated carbon from the Alcotec range
• Adsorbs off-flavours and unwanted compounds from spirit
• Generous 1kg bag
• Loose carbon, so you can use it in a refillable filter or for steeping

Specs

• Weight: 1kg
• Maker: Alcotec (Hambleton Bard)

How to use

Ferment and clear your wash first (Turbo Klar works well), distil, then dilute and treat the spirit with the carbon, following the directions on the bag. Filter the carbon out before flavouring.

Who it's for

Distillers who want a clean, neutral spirit as a base for vodka, gin or liqueur flavourings, and who prefer loose carbon to cartridges.
