El-Cheapo Water Filter

Click for huuuuuge….

So today I was going to brew some beer, and I decided that the best way to dechlorinate my water would be to run it through an activated charcoal filter. Well, ~US$20 and a visit to Home Depot later, and I had what you see above. A 2000-gallon activated charcoal inline water filter for a fridge, garden hose connectors, and enough 1/4″ line to reach easily into the carboy / pot / whatever. It’s really easy to use, and I’d have to strongly suggest that anyone looking to filter their water before brewing do something similar. Or, if you just need a portable filter it works as well.

Now, off to keep this brew going! The water is just coming to a boil now…
