This replacement carbon cartridge is designed for the Essencia Carbon Filter System and effectively treats up to 45 litres of 40% ethanol. Featuring an ultra-premium activated carbon formulation, the Essencia cartridge delivers superior filtration, ensuring the purest alcohol. It efficiently removes undesirable congeners such as acetaldehyde, fusel alcohols, tannins, and methanol, resulting in clear, refined ethanol. For optimal performance, ensure alcohol is diluted to 40% ABV or lower and replace the cartridge after every five batches (45 litres).
This is a replacement ceramic dome cartridge for the Essencia Carbon Filter System and treats up to 450 litres of 40% ethanol (50 batches). It features premium ceramic carbon filtration that purifies the water component of your spirit, effectively removing bacteria and cysts (such as E. coli, Giardia, and Cryptosporidium), suspended solids (including excess nutrients, yeast cells, dirt, and rust), chlorine (which can affect taste), hydrogen sulfide (which can produce unpleasant odors), organic pesticides (like lindane), and dissolved metals (such as lead, zinc, iron, and copper). Note: This cartridge is specifically engineered for filtering alcohol using the Essencia Carbon Filter System. Ceramic water filters are not suitable for this purpose.

Crafted from high-quality steam-activated coconut shell carbon, these 12×40 mesh chips offer exceptional surface area and low dust content for superior filtration performance. Designed with a broad range of pore sizes, they efficiently remove low to medium molecular weight organic compounds, delivering a cleaner, smoother spirit with reduced impurities and off-notes. A versatile all-rounder, ideal for polishing most distilled spirits before flavouring or ageing.
Usage:
Use 10–25 g per litre of diluted spirit. Always ensure the spirit is below 55% ABV before carbon treatment, as higher strengths can damage the carbon’s structure and reduce effectiveness. For best results, stir or circulate periodically during filtering to maximise contact time.
Specially formulated thinner-diameter rods ideal for use in Z-filters and similar vertical filtration systems, where a lighter carbon structure is needed to remain evenly suspended during operation. These extruded and reformed carbon rods feature a highly uniform pore structure, engineered for precision removal of higher-grade volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that affect aroma and flavour. Perfect for polishing high-purity reflux spirits, delivering a clean, smooth finish ready for flavouring or ageing.
Usage:
Use 10–25 g per litre of diluted spirit. Always ensure the spirit is below 55% ABV before carbon treatment, as higher strengths can damage the carbon’s structure and reduce effectiveness. For best results, ensure steady flow and full contact within the filtration system.
Engineered with a thicker 1.5 mm diameter, these rods are ideal for packing filter tubes where a more stable, free-flowing carbon bed is required. The larger size prevents compaction and blockages, ensuring consistent filtration throughout the process. Each extruded and reformed carbon rod possesses a uniform pore structure, precisely designed to capture higher-grade volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can influence aroma and taste. Perfect for refining high-quality reflux spirits, leaving them exceptionally clean, neutral, and ready for flavouring or maturation.
Usage:
Use 10–25 g per litre of diluted spirit. Always ensure the spirit is below 55% ABV before carbon treatment, as higher strengths can damage the carbon’s structure and reduce effectiveness. For best performance, maintain even packing and consistent flow through the filter column.
A premium all-purpose filtration carbon containing a broad range of pore sizes designed for the efficient removal of low to medium molecular weight organic compounds. These 1.0 mm steam-activated chips deliver outstanding absorption capacity with minimal dust content, making them ideal for improving clarity, aroma, and overall smoothness in any spirit. A direct replacement for those who previously used Alcotec Activated Carbon 1kg.
Usage:
Use 10–25 g per litre of diluted spirit. Always ensure the spirit is below 55% ABV before carbon treatment, as higher strengths can damage the carbon’s structure and reduce effectiveness. For optimal results, allow adequate contact time and stir or circulate occasionally during treatment.
Removes yeast cells, degasses, and eliminates impurities from a fully fermented wash, preventing off-flavours during boiling and reducing the risk of foaming.
Treats one 25L wash.
Instructions:
- Stir the wash vigorously to remove gas.
- Add Part A of this sachet, stir well, then leave for one hour.
- After one hour, stir Part B of this sachet gently into the wash.
- Leave for 24 hours, then transfer the wash to your boiler. We recommend siphoning the wash or transferring via the tap, ensuring no yeast cells are moved to the boiler.
Replicate the renowned Lincoln County Process used in producing almost all Tennessee whiskeys prior to barrel ageing. This traditional method gently filters new-make spirit through a bed of sugar maple charcoal, removing volatile compounds and softening the spirit before maturation. The result is a smoother, mellower whiskey with enhanced caramel and vanilla notes once aged on oak.
Usage:
Steep 250 g of Pure Distilling Maple Charcoal with 5 L of Bourbon, Whiskey, or ~40% ABV neutral spirit for 4–6 days. After steeping, decant the filtered spirit to a small ageing barrel or transfer directly onto Pure Distilling Bourbon Chunks to continue developing depth, colour, and character.

A cartridge carbon filter. Fast, clean and easy to use. Specifically designed for the maximum purification of alcohol or water.The EZ Filter is the latest development in alcohol filtration. It uses a specially formulated solid activated carbon cartridge to remove unwanted flavours from distilled alcohol.
Due to the compressed nature of the cartridges the alcohol is forced past a vast amount of active pores so filtration is assured. The Carbon Cartridges are best suited to quick filtration of alcohol from stills producing alcohol above 80% abv as well as spirit produced from triple Distilled Turbo from any still.
This filter combines the research done on the Still Spirits Turbo Yeasts with the latest development on carbon purifying of distilled alcohol. The EZ Filter system uses the unique EZ Filter Carbon Cartridge, constructed from a specially formulated blend of carbons designed to deliver maximum performance.
The system kit contains upper 10L reservoir, filter unit, filter cartridge, lower 10L reservoir unit, outlet.
Used in the EZ filter. Use one at each end of the filter cartridge. Replace when washer no longer maintains their normal thickness. Made from Spirit Resistant Polyethylene so it will not taint the spirit.

A granulated carbon used for removing distillation by-products.
Used in early model Z Filters prior to June 2004 and now also used in the Filter Pro. Place filter paper between outlet tap end and washer.
Add 80g to one batch of spirit in container and let stand for 7 - 10 days. Always treat the spirit with finishing carbon after.
Always ensure the paper lies flat across the base. Replace after each batch of spirit.
Turbo Carbon’s unique activated internal pore structure removes impurities that are not taken out by post distillation filtration. Use with any Turbo Yeast for a cleaner, smoother tasting spirit. Continue to filter after distillation choosing from the range of Still Spirits activated carbon products.
IMPORTANT: Always use Turbo Clear after fermentation to remove solids before distillation. If Turbo Clear is not used, the impurities . trapped by Turbo Carbon will be released during the boil.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Before opening, massage the sachet to ensure it is lump free.
2. Add immediately after adding your choice of Turbo Yeast.
3. Stir well to disperse.
If Turbo Clear is not used and yeast cells are added to your boiler, the cells will break open during the boiling process releasing off-flavours, smells, impurities absorbed by fermentation, clays and carbons back into the distillate. For the very best alcohol quality use Turbo clear in every wash and rack carefully before distillation.
Mixing Instructions
Part B: After 1 hour, slowly pour Part B evenly over the top of the wash while stirring gently to help spread it evenly. Do not stir vigorously as this will disrupt the clearing process. Leave to clear for at least 24 hours. During this time Part B will drop down from the top, taking unwanted yeast and other compounds with it to the bottom.
A combination high grade carbons designed to remove the impurities from distillate collected from any type of still using the Z carbon Filter.
