Anybody know of a UK seller for decent filter paper, i can only seem to get brown coffe filter papers and not white,

I dont know if there is anything bad in the brown paper so i boil it first before filtering..

Or obviously if you know of a better product or idea please let me know?

I hope not I just used the brown ones to filter about 6L of spirit.

Tasted good, something to think about, the white ones may have been bleached paper to keep it white like they do with normal paper and cotton wool. Might be better off with the brown?
I was going to use organic cotton wool stuffed in a filter of some sort but just could not buy it anywhere.

Never had a problem with the brown ones from the local Spar, like HangOver says white paper is bleached but it's for using with hot coffee so it's food safe - the only potential issue would be if you're filtering really strong spirit with it, but of course you're all bored of me banging on about why you should filter at 40% anyway by now aren't you? :)
