How to make alcohol at home
Currently, a lot of people around the world have begun to make various alcoholic drinks at home. This is due to many criteria, but the main ones are the price increase for various alcoholic beverages, and low-quality products on most store shelves. And it happens that both the first option and the second come across at the same time! You pay a lot of money for a low-quality alcoholic drink. That is why many people began to wonder how to make alcohol at home.
And how, it turned out, making alcohol at home is very profitable! If you approach this issue correctly, then you will practically not have any waste that occurs as a result of processing. With the help of simple equipment, and a number of simple processes, you can make high-quality alcoholic beverages of a very different nature. And besides the fact that they will be of high quality, their cost will be much cheaper than on the shelves in stores. In addition, absolutely all products that arise as a result of processing can be used. Even the first fractions, which are unsuitable for food, can be useful as a liquid for washing glasses, and also, with the right proportions, they can be used as solvents for paints.
Now let's take a closer look at how alcohol is made at home? The two main components of the classic moonshine still are an evaporator and a condenser. In the evaporator, the evaporation of alcohol occurs, as well as its separation from the remaining components of the feedstock. As for the condenser, in it the alcohol vapor turns into a liquid state.
It is thanks to these two elements that the process occurs in which alcohol is made at home! As for the other components of the moonshine still, these are all technical improvements that have come into force over the years.
When creating an elementary evaporator at home, no difficulties should arise. After all, the easiest way to make it from a pressure cooker. A pressure cooker means a large pan that is closed with a sealed lid and safety valves. On this basis, in order to get a good evaporator, you just need to slightly modify the pressure cooker lid. The only drawback of such an evaporator will only be that it has a small size, or rather 4-6 liters.
Much more difficulties arise with the manufacture of a capacitor. In the people, such a capacitor is often called a coil. As a rule, it should be made of quartz glass. And therefore, to make it at home is a very difficult task. It will be much easier and more convenient to go to the nearest chemical glassware store and buy it.
When making alcohol at home, the coil must be cold. Therefore, it must be placed in advance in dishes with plenty of cold water. In the process of making alcohol in the evaporator, the boiling point should not be lower than 85 degrees Celsius. Such a temperature can provide a good evaporation of alcohol products. As a heater for the evaporation of alcohol, some kind of electric heater, in which power adjustment is present, is ideal. This will be necessary so that our home alcohol is not too strong or too weak.
And as soon as the boiling of the starting material occurs at a temperature of 88-90 degrees, and the first home alcohol begins to drip, the coil. In the people it is also called pervak. This liquid, has a chemical composition, is not suitable for use in the body. Therefore, the first 50 grams of such a liquid should be poured, and all that comes after it is pure home-made moonshine.
