Filtering With Carbon & Paper

Filtering does two different jobs depending on what you put in the way. Paper and pads work on clarity, catching the haze and sediment that stays suspended after settling. Activated carbon works on character, pulling out flavours and odours you would rather not taste. Knowing which problem you actually have saves you filtering twice.

For pads, Cordenons make the 20 cm x 20 cm squares and the 40 cm x 40 cm in packs of 25, and there is a round 22 cm pad as well. Paper options include the Ferrari hand pleated papers for twist funnels in fine 1 to 5 micron and 1 to 3 micron, a 30 cm diameter paper in six packs, and Still Spirits large filter paper in fives. If you run a Tandem filter we keep the standard cartridge, the Bravopleat cartridge and the o-ring that suits them, which is the part people forget about until the day they need it.

On the carbon side there is coconut crushed activated carbon at 12 x 40 mesh, in 500 g and in 15 kg granulated, the Pure Distilling 5 Star premium cartridge and the Still Spirits EZ filter carbon cartridge. Glycerine smoothing agent sits alongside for finishing.

Let your batch settle for as long as your patience allows before you filter. The clearer it goes on, the less you clog and the fewer pads you get through. Ask us at Laverton North or Epping, or see filter pads and media, finings and spirits and distillation.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter spirits through carbon?

Activated carbon removes off-flavours and odours, giving a cleaner neutral spirit to flavour with an essence.

Which carbon filter suits my still?

If you run a Still Spirits Air Still, use the Air Still carbon cartridge. The Still Spirits EZ Filter system and Pure Distilling 5 Star and Smart filters suit other setups. Ask us in store if you are not sure which matches your gear.

Do you have filter pads and papers for wine?

Yes. We stock filter pads for wine filtering machines, as well as filter papers for funnel and gravity filtering. See our wine filters and filter pads.
