Article: Even though they're left to ferment for a long time, the apples you choose can significantly shape the flavor of your finished vinegar. Choose the best quality apples available to you in order to get the best apple cider vinegar at the end. For a more complex and deep vinegar at the end, try using a combination of different apples. Use two sweet apples, such as Golden Delicious or Gala, with one sharp tasting apple, such as McIntosh or Liberty, for a slightly sharper vinegar at the end. Instead of using whole apples, save scraps from apples used in other dishes to make your apple cider vinegar. One whole apple is roughly equivalent to the scraps of two apples. Keep the peel, core and other scraps in your freezer until you're ready to use them to make vinegar. It's always a good idea to wash your fruit and vegetables before eating them, and the same is true when cooking or fermenting them. Give your apples a thorough rinse and scrub with cold water to clean away anything you don't want in your vinegar. You can use any number of apples you want to make apple cider vinegar. The more you use, the more vinegar you'll get! If you're just starting out making your own apple cider vinegar, try using 3 apples for your first batch. This will give you a good amount of vinegar but won't put too much at risk if something goes wrong. If you're using apple scraps, make sure to wash the whole apples before separating the scraps from the rest of the apples.

Article: The key ingredient in your filter that removes impurities from the vodka is generally a charcoal filter. This kind of filter removes oil and sugar, along with any other impurities, from the vodka that that make it taste less than delicious. Using a small funnel can help you pour your vodka into your filter's reservoir more easily, resulting in less liquor spilled. Give your vodka a firm swirl after completing each filtration cycle so that impurities are evenly distributed. This will create a consistent taste throughout your filtered batch and prepare it for the next round of filtration. You should also keep your vodka chilled, as colder temperatures will cause impurities to be easier for your filter to catch. While your vodka is dripping through the filter, you might place it in a freezer to help the filter catch impurities. Continue to regularly agitate your vodka and keep it in a cold place as you continue to filter. You'll want to use a clean container for the filtered vodka to collect into, and for best results, you may want to change your filter every few filtration cycles. As your filter strains impurities out of your vodka, its ability to continue to do so diminishes. While it's unlikely you'll need to change your filter after a single filtration, you should pay attention to your "change filter" indicator and swap in a new one when necessary. For filters without a "change filter" indicator, you may want to use a new filter every 2-3 filtration cycles for best results. Remember to swirl each completely filtered batch of vodka to improve its consistency. The filtration process causes the composition of the vodka to become disturbed. You'll want to give your recently filtered vodka some rest time (15-30 minutes should do the trick) before you then use it for drinking.

Pour the vodka though a standard water filter. Agitate your vodka and keep it in a cool place. Filter your vodka 2-3 more times. Allow your filtered vodka to stand briefly.
