![]() See if I was making it I wouldn't be worried. ![]() You don't understand the process, and you pretend you do. Like I said, all you guys are so sure that you are right, go ahead and do it. ![]() Point is, you run into potential troubles with you remove water after the fact. You remove the water before fermentation thus concentrating the sugar = more alcohol. It just makes a stronger beer like if you were to add more dme to an extract home brew. This prevents any issues with concentrated methanol and other nasties. Freeze distillation used for brewing ice beer happens. If you guys would read how the process works. In practice, while not able to produce an alcohol concentration comparable to distillation, this technique can achieve some concentration with far less effort than any practical distillation apparatus would require."īelieve it or not, this is illegal so stupid people don't harm themselves or others with their tainted hooch. Freeze distillation of alcoholic beverages is illegal in many countries, as it can concentrate poisonous compounds, for example fusel alcohols, in the original fermented beverage to unhealthy levels heated distillation methods tend to eliminate these more harmful fermentation products. Examples are applejack, made from hard cider, and ice beer. "Fractional freezing can be used as a simple method to increase the alcohol concentration in fermented alcoholic beverages, a process sometimes called freeze distillation. Commercial distillers use fractional heat distillation.Ĭheck out the most basic of sources (wikipedia), or read the compleat distiller. But is it safe to take 365 aspirin at once? Hey why not, you were gonna take them daily for a year anyway? See where your logic falls flat?įreeze distillation is not safe. Would you ever drink 5 gallons of wine at once? Well guess what when you remove all that ice that is the water, thus, concentrating the alc and the fusel alc making it potentially dangerous because you consume more in one sitting.Īnother example for you. "it would still be apple wine and the same amount of fusel concentrations would be there along with alcohol." What are your thoughts comments suggestions? I just hoping the layer at the bottum isnt all sugar. should i have boiled it down into a syrup before adding it, or is it fine to just pour in regular course sugar. There is a pretty thick layer at the bottum that i cant tell if its sugar or yeast. What do you guys think?Īlso its been a little more that 24 hours and bubbling is sparse. and i probably gonna let it ferment and age for about 3 weeks, at which point i will bottle some and put the rest outside in upside down plastic gallon jugs, in order to make the apple jack. Then i added about 4 and a half cups of raw sugar from whole foods. So to make the apple wine i used about 4 gallons of that super sweet and fresh homemade cider. I was gonna make plain old hard cider but i heard somewhere about apple jack and decided to give it a try. so we decided to go up there and fill up a carboy. My girlfriends aunt has an apple farm and an apple press.
