Any experiment that includes the science pole is proof enough for me.

Drink the expensive stuff first.

 

[Falloutboy]

I have..but its well expensive

 

[mugs]

Vodka tastes good?

 

[ElFenix]

just buy tito's to begin with

 

[Falloutboy]

"good" vodka doesn't have much taste which means it goes down easy and gets you wasted good and quick

 

[tnitsuj]

That's brilliant

 

[thomsbrain]

sounds cool to me

What if you filtered the premium vodka? Hmmmmm....................I so happen to have a bottle of grey goose and a brita pitcher.

hmmm interesting....I think you need to experement and document

Too much work, you still get drunk regardless.

I'm going to try it this weekend. I have plenty of Brita filters and cheap vodka is just a trip to the grocery store away.

No go on my drinking experiment tonight. The filter is on it's last legs and I don't have a spare. If I remember to pick up a new filter
tomorrow then I'll do what I must for science.

true but cheap vodka gives nasty hangovers and tastes like ass

Doesn't give me hangovers... it tastes like ass but if you mix it right you can't taste it. You can take big swigs from the bottle and wash it with Squirt and you can't taste a thing.

But that is a pretty cool experiment. I'm just too fvcking lazy for something like that.

 

[poncherelli2]

do the filters absorb any of the alcohol though?

 

[EvilYoda]

hmmm, as a vodka lover, I might have to try this out. Keep the good stuff reserved for parties and then I can have a nice sip every night of distilled five o' clock. Who knew, you can drink five o' clock and not die.

Or so I hope. No time to try this this weekend, but soon.

and where can you buy the charcoal activated filters he mentions towards the end, to layer within a PVC pipe?

 

[Falloutboy]

you can get like 6 replacement brita cartraiges off ebay for like 20 bucks

He was talking about the Brita cartridge filters that go in the pitchers. The only problem I can see with that is getting a good enough seal around the filter so the vodka just doesn't run around the filter instead of through it.

I may have to give this a shot too.

I guess the construction of the uberfilter will depend on the shape and size of the actual filters. I assume you can get something more disc-shaped than the normal funkily-shaped-trashcan-droid-from-SW pitcher-insert filters?

That was a lot of hyphens. whew.

Does water slip through without getting filtered, also? If not, I don't see how the vodka would do that either.

Probably, but I can't really think of where off the top of my head. If you could just buy activated charcoal in bulk you could design your own filter, but I don't know where to buy that either.

Not in the pitchers designed for the cartridges, but the site was talking about building something out of PVC to hold multiple filters.
