I moved to Turkey and I only have one hydrometer brand to choose from. But next time I travel I can get some different ones

Where did you get your alcohol hydrometers from please?

[@distillinginaustralia3257]

Hi, from AIM Scientific

[@urbanblocks2698]

Don’t you mean alcometer for the parrots and not hydrometer which is used for checking mash for potential alcohol?

[@distillinginaustralia3257]

Technically they’re all hydrometers but for distinction people will refer to them as alchometer and hydrometer. So , yeah you are correct. Thanks for the feedback. Nick

‏Please, please, please, I am afraid of distillation because alcohol has been banned in my country, and I want to distill a liter of vodka from a 3 liter of wine. How much toxic methanol can I remove? I am afraid of blindness and diseases. I hope you can answer me. Thank you.

Hi Alexandra, firstly, if it’s illegal to have alcohol in your country then don’t do it. As far as Methanol is concerned, at the beginning of a run what comes off first is the most volatile which tastes and smells a bit like nail polish. Collect these in a separate container until such time that the smell/ taste has gone, what you collect after that will be good to consume. Watch out for tails at the end, again taste and smell and you find the tails. Collect tails and discard. May need to do 3 or 4 runs as experiments to get used to the process, tastes and smells. Good Luck, but as I said at the beginning if it’s illegal , it’s illegal. Nick
