When I tried soaking the carbon in a 750ml bottle and twisting up and down, it worked miraculous after 1 week.
Next, I tried shaking around 2.25 liters in a big jug (4liters). Although the portions were he same, this batch still doesn\'t taste too great.
I think it would be perfect if there was an hour-glass shaped vessel that you could rotate a few times a day. It would be the best combo of soaking and filtering at the same time.

Then I ran it through a tea filter to clear out the charcoal coloring. The only thing I noticed is there was a slight metallic or carbon aftertaste. I am going to try using less and filter out a couple days earlier.

Not sure if the britta jugs are acrylic, or whether they\'re polycarbonate. PC can be used with wine making, but only really for fermentation. If it\'s something that will need to be aged, it\'s always recommended to move it over to glass or stainless.....
