"smuggled" korean SoJu

Why would Soju be smuggled? Was it a specific kind(there are quite a few)? It's a very common drink around here(Flushing has a large Korean pop) Say no to Jinro(green bottle) there's a kind that comes in a rounded brown bottle that's pretty smooth

Running vodka thru a filter definitely works. It would not work as well on whiskey or any wood aged spirit.

Funk, you like Tito's? I always have a bottle of it in the freezer. I've met him several times. He's a very cool guy.

Interesting.

Is Brita a simple charcoal filter?

I talked to chemists here in my institute, they told me that filters sold here, that are mostly ion-exchange, will give an unpredictable result on ethanol solutions.

OTOH here we have vodka that is good enough without any additional filtering, it may simply kill the taste.

I use some Russian filter for tap water, it was a present, I am satisfied with tap-water quality here in Moscow, but if I have a filter and a stock of cassetes for it - why not use it?  At least it kills every trace of chlorine smell.

LOL

I told you so!

RO water and grain/potato alcohol = premium vodka.

Oh yeah right, people like vodka because it tastes good.

It's up to you. If you like aquavita - it's OK, but I prefer wheat vodka because it's tasty. I understand that if you drink it mixed there is not much difference, but I like it plain.

I think it is primarily an activated charcoal filter. Nothing special there, really.

The "word" on the web is:

"The filter will predominately remove Organic compounds that are greater than 3 carbons in length from systems.  It will also remove Inorganics, such as salt, and large metallic chelates as well."

Someday warbirds will be a thing of the past and you will be able to come to the AH con, and you and I will rumble. Tire irons, piano legs and broadswords. Two men enter one man leaves.

We'll get one of those inflatable castle trampolines for that part.

Don't misinterpret this as levity either, I will go directive 21 on your ass.

I doubt that I'll need your backpack stove spirit at the Con, I'll probably bring some better alcohol.

Frankly speaking - I didn't expect such a reaction to "I'll drink your stove ethanol", as if I said "I will take your land, water and women"... :rolleyes:

Dupont FIlter pitcher
« Reply #28 on: November 09, 2006, 07:07:21 PM »
Walmart sells a dupont water pitcher for 9.97. It comes with one filter. Additional filters are at most 5.00 if you buy them singly. You can use one filter for appoximately 4 litres of vodka. maybe more. At the local liquor store, kamchatka vodka is 6.49 for a 5th..hehe...after filtration (4 or 5 times)  it tastes like it costs 25.00 and it takes only about an hour to do it.

i fell off the wagon...so what?

hehe
