[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Filtering Cheap Vodka (Page 1 of 2)

Even if you don't necessarily improve the "burn" or taste, you can save yourself from a terrible headache. By filtering out the impurities. We are talking about filtering CHEAP Vodka.

Like having it go through a Brita filter 5 times.

But I'm really broke at the moment. I don't want to spend 30 dollars for the filter.

What are some real cheap ways to filter it? Like using a coffee filter and Active charcoal? How many times should you run it through?

ARF has to have some Vodka Hacks.

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.

If you're that broke, than stop drinking. Either buy the good stuff (as good as that peasant swill can get) or live like a hobo and drink cheap shit.

Make your own charcoal by taking lumps of maple or white oak and heating them in an old ammo can over a camp fire.

Cut bottom out of empty plastic cheap vodka bottle, put coffee filter in neck and fill with home made charcoal.

Voila! Cheap vodka filter!

Why not grab a 1.75 liter of Tito's for around $25-28? It's a great middle of the road vodka and pretty easy on the pocketbook.

I bought a bottle of vodka in Tblisi, Georgia for a buck. It has gnats floating in it.

Mix it with Red Bull and it won't matter

Just curious, what makes it through the filter that requires filtering it five times?

Wouldnt everything that could be caught by the filter get caught the first time?

Really broke means you give up luxuries for awhile.

If you aren't drinking, you're saving money.

$16 for 1.75 liters. Cheapest vodka I've found that tasted good and didn't fuck me up in the morning. Made by Buffalo Trace. Not saying it's the best but I would still buy it before filtering even cheaper brands.

The supposed best way to improve Vodka is a couple of passes through a Brita filter .

Also for cheap Vodka Pinnacle is not bad and it comes in a genuine plastic bottle that you can use for gas when your $6 of gas runs out

The impurities that give you a hangover will not be "filtered" out. Further distillation would. Removal of fusel alcohol is the answer. Best answer, drink some water and take some ibuprofen before bed after said bender.

Quick fact, most moonshine poisonings are high concentration of deadly alcohols not being removed.

I have a client that owns a couple of distilleries. He makes both "cheap" Vodka and an upscale Vodka. They both start out the same. The more expensive Vodka is just filtered more times.

Seriously.

Once you've spent money on materials and decided your time is only worth .45c per hour it's a bargain.

costco American vodka is like $13 a handle and is about as good as it gets for mixed drinks. If you drink Vodka straight I dont know what to tell you.

According to my grandfather, that's what the alkies did in WWII with the torpedo fuel. Cut the ends of a loaf of bread and pour it through. It would remove the red dye but not the methanol. Remember kids, ethanol is evil but methanol murders.

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.

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

Three Olive Grape vodka is as close as crack as liquor can be. Tastes like grape Shasta. Yummy.

Don't do it!

Did it once, now I can never drink non-top shelf vodka. Before I could drink mid grade just fine. (my experience was 15 years ago, still wont touch anything below GG)

Western son Texas vodka is what you seek. Cheaper than titos, and equally as good.

You guys get out of here with that Grey Goose crap. They just have a real good marketing campaign. A bunch of 20 dollar Vodkas beat out those stupid 40 and 50 dollar GG bottles.

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