Has nobody ever thought of this before?

That's a brilliant idea, and I don't even drink any form of alchohol!

Wow, I never thought of that. I've filtered distilled alcohol through carbon before, I don't know why I didn't think of this.

I was drinking Vladimar last night, it is indeed pretty nasty stuff. I think my mum might get a little annoyed though if she used our filter and noticed a vodka-ry aftertaste...

The music industry is a cruel and shallow money trench where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.

Why the hell is there a roll of TP by the computer?

You and I both know the answer to that question.

It's for those tourney LANs. Sometimes, you just can't afford to get up and go to the bathroom.

Now that I think of it, wouldn't any vodka taste smoother the more of it you consumed? From the way I read it, they weren't tasting it like it was wine, particularly with a line like "somebody more sober to take notes."

YEAH BABY!!

this information is useless to me until i find out what it does to the alcohol content.
2004-11-12, 7:11 AM #12
It shouldn't affect it. When I filtered my distilled alcohol through carbon the % by volume was 91%. Although I have no way of knowing the concentration before filtration, most likely if the filter filters out the alcohol, the percentage would've dropped a lot more.

I would have to agree. Alchohol is very fluid, and would most likely not be soaked up by a carbon filter specifically designed not to absorb liquit, but to let pure liquids pass. If it filtered out a substantial ammount of alchohol, the volume content would've been reduced to at least 70%, if not far less. so, judging by that, I would have to say that the alchohol content is increased, because a portion of the otehr stuff is removed. :D

try this: get a bottle of crap wine, split it into 4 glasses and amazingly each glass tastes better :O

Amazing! However, we decided to be good (and arguably way less fun) and taste only a small portion each time. Sadly, the results were not due to intoxication. - Adam

Also, my comment was partially a joke, I might almost say rhetorical. I would trust that people going through such an experiement, making it as elaborate as they did, would've thought about countering possible competing explainations, as would be expected of an expiriment that was truly scientific.

Np, probably just very bandwidth starved. It loads after about 30 seconds for me.

trying it now

after the third cycle it tasted a lot less harsh

on to #5 now

very interesting. I've had vladimir vodka before, and it is as bad as they say it is, although after a few shots taken close together, i doubt that I would be able to tell the difference.

I have to try this.

the cheap abrasive paint thinner taste has almost entirely gone after 7 cycles of filtering.

worked a charm, everyone should do this.
