Get a bottle of grain and cut it by half water.
I do it by the glass. Pay 30 for a 1.75L. So for 15bucks your getting 2 clean 100proof 1.75s of booze. |

Actually many premium brands are mostly just making you pay more for a name. There isn't any super secret wizardry going on at their distillation plant. Quote HistoryQuoted:

My grandpa told me that people used to filter silage effluent through a loaf of bread and get drunk off of that. |

Vodka
Filter through cloth diaper in to sink drain. Buy Bourbon. Nothing fancy, say Jim Beam. Drink it neat. The end. |

There was a thing on the internet a few years ago about some dudes filtering cheap shit through a brita and after 3 passes nobody could tell it from grey goose. Quote HistoryQuoted:

The more odorless and tasteless you can get it the better. So it's easy to blind taste test for it. There's not any (or at least as much) subjective opinion on the matter. |

Supposedly, desperately thirsty people used to filter Sterno through bread. I am not sure how this would make toxic methanol convert into drinkable ethanol, but it should be safe to experiment with cheap vodka. Don't do it. |

Convert a pressure cooker into a still. Use a big pot full of water to run the distillate line through. Drink cheap alcohol.
Or do this the legal way by buying a bottle of Everclear and just be done with the whole thing. |

And, if you want to "charcoal polish" a vodka or 'shine, get about two feet of 1.5" pvc pipe and a hose clamp to fit it. Use the hose clamp to cap one end with four or five layers of basket type coffee filters. Fill the pipe with activated charcoal, the finer the better and suspend the pipe over a receptacle. If you are clever, you can use PVC bushings to bush up the 1.5" pipe to about 4" so you have large funnel at the top of the pipe. Fill the funnel and let it trickle though. It will take a good bit of time until it drips out the bottom. after you've run a few handles of 190 proof Everclear, run a pint of distilled water though the system and then dilute the Everclear or shine to drinking proof.
The whole rig should cost less than 20 buck and the charcoal is good for lots of runs if you dry it on a cookie sheet between uses. |

Did the "brita" thing on suggestion of a neighbor, who mentioned the myth busters. I just missed a clearanced brita @ WM. Decided to go by the thrift store..... they had several, I got mine, for 2.99. Washed it and then ran it through the dishwasher. Bought a WM knockoff filter and filtered my sams club vodka x6..... good stuff....

Luksusowa or Sobieski vodka has already been filtered by a Polish god. Nothing further is needed! |
