For those of you who use carbon for filtering, how often do you change out your carbon?

If I have a very clean product, I may put up to 45 liters through before I recycle my carbon. I had a 15 year old wine given to me that I ran through in reflux coming out at 90% plus but had a bad smell. My carbon stopped removing the smell at the 12th 750ml bottle. Clean product more liters. Try the carbon filtering, you will like it. Taste and smell when comming out of the filter, you will notice the difference between first and all the other bottles. If you have a clean product, no smell, why filter it, unless you want to. I don't reactive carbon unless I regenerate it first.

Clean product more liters.... True! Also, The rate it flows through the carbon effects how long the carbon is still removing impurities. Basically, you're using the carbon for a reason. Taste and smell the product before and after filtering and figure out the difference. When it no longer has the desired effect, it's time to change and/or recycle the carbon."
