Well, you'll have to filter the lentils out :D

Yeah, it'll be fine without carbon filtering. I rack off the good stuff with a siphon as normal and then tip what's left into a sieve or colander so I don't block the drain.

Give it a couple of days to clear after racking and good to go.

LOL.

I for one think if you make good cuts on a this type of wash, it won't need carbon filtering.

Well made cuts and airing can indeed negate the need for carbon filtering neutral.
From any neutral wash.
However the size and type of still used may result in small quantities of hearts actually making the cut.
I am NOT advocating carbon filtering heads and tails,but carbon filtering will allow a little lee way for those struggling with jar to jar or bottle to bottle sampling from low output stills.
Just my take on it. ;D

Robert.
There is no ONE way.
