Dosing Vodka Nitrate Reactor
Does it matter which brand or type of Vodka you use, Cold Filter, Charcoal Filter, 3 Times Cold filter etc. Deltec recommends using 1 part Vodka and two parts RO water. Thanks in advance

No, any type of ethanol is OK. It doesn't even have to be vodka. You could use grain alcohol and cut it down to strength.

Thanks I wasn't sure if you could use the cheapest Vodka I found a bottle that uses charcol to filter for 8 bucks I will buy that.
