Answers:
Nope...because once it's a powder, there is no longer any water and no longer any alcohol. Thus, to make it ready for you use, you'd have to add water and add alcohol...which is basically whiskey...you've defeated your purpose.
However, once you figure out how to make powdered water, they you might be on to something...but then, what would you add to make it water again?
Uh, planning for the Apocalypse are we?
You probably can, although I've never tried it. Dehydrating ANY beverage will leave you with nothing but the concentrated "essence". All the water (and alcohol, if that applies) would vaporize.
Bear in mind it would take a WHOLE lot of beer, for example, to produce just a little bit of the concentrate (even alcoholic beverages are mostly water).
If you do things the old-fashioned way---add the alcoholic beverage to your recipe, then let the mixture simmer so some of the moisture and alcohol evaporate---you'll be accomplishing the same thing.
not at room temperature or at normal atmospheric pressure.
pay a little attention in science class. check a triple phase diagram for ethanol
Cool idea, but I don't think it'd work. All the alcohol would evaporate.....buzz killer. You'd end up with some funky smelling butt powder.
Alcohol boils at 174 degrees (F). Water boils at 212 degrees (F). All the alcohol will have boiled off long before all the water boils off. So
No, you can't dehydrate alcohol.
