  Can Carbon Filtering Cartridges Deliver Effective Results for Cask Entry?

  Posted by needmorstuff on April 10, 2024 at 4:55 pm

  I have carbon filtered by white rum with good results.

  I am running 300 litres through 4 plates a mix of 200 litres rum beer 11%  with low wines of 100 litres @ 50% 

  Collect around 92% throughout.

  heads around 20 litres, hearts around 40 litres, i continue to collect some tails but it’s a long day so don’t take it all. 

  I proof the white down to 50%

  repeat the process until I’ve 200 litres or so

  then carbon filter with an amazon filters 10″ cart @ 5 micron on a loop for about a couple of hours at 4 litres per minute.

  The carbon filtering gives good results, it improves the nose and the taste. It doesn’t strip flavour – just improves things.

  I plan to put some liquid into ex 1st fill bourbon quarter casks soon @ 60% or so.

  Would it be advisable to carbon filter before going into casks? anyone have experience  of that.
