Hi mate if you make a good clean wash its not required especially with your reflux still,try a vodka star or essencia super 6 wash without carbon and still spirits tripple with carbon and let us know what you think.

When I started a couple of years back with an Airstill I did use the carbon as per the paperwork that came with it.

Then I found this forum and WOW....what an eye opener...so now it's a BIG NO from me.

Mix a sugar wash let it finish then do a double distill...follow AM's writeup on this and you will turn out some good stuff.

BJ.

Take a look here and read it all ;) Link

Read the "PDF" file AM has done.

The best advise I can give Haziflad is to start at the top of the posts and work you way through them...then re-read them again and it all starts to make sense mate.

Well,I was about to offer a package of alcotech Triple still,foc to anyone that wished to pay the post,but now see it is well out of date,so I guess that shows my views on tipping carbon into your fermenter!
There are much better ways of producing palatable product.
