OR you add a handful of bentonite clay (kitty litter) and achieve similar result. I recently made peach wine for the first time. It was refined even futher into a very peachy wht. dog brandy . Turned out well beyond my expectations and is VERY drinkable 😋. When I siphoned off fermentation vessels into a clarification vessel I had 6gals of a delightful smelling peach sludge remaining. I had pureed the peaches and the addition of pectin really made fine particles that would either escape or clog a screen bag. 🤔 So , I happen to have some 6" tri-clamp parts, ball valves , & 6" filter plates,etc ... and I built a big ol Buchner funnel . With a 2stage vacuum sucking from beneath the filtration and nitrogen gas pressure pushing it from above the peach material. I know most people don't have these things just laying around to build 1of these but dam if it doesn't work wonderful I was able to salvage another 1.5 gallons of clear wine that was destined for the compost pile if I hadn't come up with this. 1 and a half gallons is a lot of waste if you only make a little batch like me . When I say clear wine even 95+% of the yeast was visibly removed by the filtration in a single pass. Seriously why don't more people do this worked marvelously 👌
If you want to buy all equipment to make only few liters it will be expensive. Alembic and pot still distilators are good for some flavor thinks such as rum, whisky, fruit's. To do a good quality Vodka U need a distilation column. I just bought one so i will make a video about it .
You my favorite distiller of all
I mean come on how much people are making actual fruit brandy like this very few
I suggest to buy a grape press and use with cheese cloth ( more layers if necessary )

Very helpful. What was the volume in the fermenter before and then in the second fermenter after filtering?
Before it was about 7 gallons (27 liters), and after filtering 5-5.5 gallons ( 20 liters)
Time to distill 👍
whats the total cost for how much liters of vodka, if you include the material and tools used ?

After filtering you got 5.5 gallons. How much vodka did you get after distilling? Or is there a future video on the way?
He would have got 1 gal. At 5gal of mash
Thanks mate! I'll give it a go :-)
What u added for clarification sir?
What country are you?
Poland, awesome country.
Thanks
For how long you left it in the fermentation before you filter it
Until it stops fermenting. Then all the sugar turned into alcohol
its all depend of temperature and yeast. Best way to check the sugar content if its zero or below you can filter it and distill
Well done. My girlfriend compels me to mention that this is not an exclusively male hobby. 😃
💯 percent 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Nice.
thanks
I would have gone to the market and finished drinking 2 bottles of vodka till this time 😁😁😁
Pillowcase
vodka! :D
Not worth it
