  • Collum stills are interesting since they work on the principle of bubbling. Kinda gives me a new principle to look into.

    I need to order a lot more potassium carbonate to get enough ethanol to use a hydrometer or to get the ethanol to measure to better accuracy with my equipment.

    I need to find a sample bottle of ever clear and salt out that and see if any water layer appears. The appearance of that layer would prove salting out can break the limit

    I still believe that salting out is a less energy intensive and simpler method than distilling and at least worth doing prior to distilling.


  • It annoys me that I just figured out dessication in distillation. Like now there’s a bunch more experiments to do and I know so little they could be useful for medical piracy.

    From research with distillation they’re pretty necessary to get high consentration of alcohol
