Introducing activated carbon for distillers made from coconut shells.
Thanks to its unusual physical properties, it is used, among other things, in distillation - it absorbs unwanted compounds from alcohol, which results in an improvement in its taste and aroma.

Why is it worth choosing our activated carbon?
It is best to use carbon if the alcohol content does not exceed 45% - the higher it is, the harder it is to separate impurities in the distillate.
Keep the liquid temperature as low as possible - it is recommended to freeze it in the freezer beforehand - so that the adsorption of carbon impurities is as high as possible).
Pour (rinse) the carbons 2-3 times with boiling water through a sieve - after this simple 'procedure' they are directly suitable for pouring into the filter tube and then alcohol filtration can begin.
The used carbon is characterised by a worse taste of the filtered distillate - if you are no longer satisfied with it, add some fresh carbon.
If you do not have a filter tube, an ordinary glass is enough, into which you pour alcohol and the appropriate portion of carbon (it is assumed that 50 g of activated carbon is needed to clean 1 litre of alcohol), and then set it aside for 2-3 weeks in a dark place and shake it from time to time. The disadvantage of this method is the time consumption, while when using a filter tube the final result is identical.
Carbons are not for single use - they can be used repeatedly until the maximum amount of distillate is filtered per 1 pack!
1 pack of carbon is enough to filter approximately 60 l of distillate.
