Blackpowder Posted September 26, 2023 Report Share Posted September 26, 2023 What to PW members use to filter sloe gin and other liquers . Paper coffee filters do the job but exceedingly slow and keep clogging. Blackpowder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been making it for years and always forget about the muslin thing. Present batch is strawberry vodka. Last night found a 6 year old quarter bottle of gooseberry vodka back in the cupboard one of the smoothest fruit liquers I have made.

Picked a couple of year's supply on that occasion but must get out and around see if we have any local this year.. Blackpowder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
