Freeze distillation, safe?!
Freeze distillation, safe?
Excluding the dangers of highly concentrated ethanol, is freeze distillation dangerous?
I know it is illegal in the USA, and I don't plan on doing it, but something is confusing me. I read that freeze distillation will concentrate a lot of methanol into the alcohol, which doesn't make sense.
The same amount of ethanol and methanol that is present in the wine will be present in concentrated form in the distilled solution, so if I were to take the distilled solution and then add water or juice to bring the alcohol level back to where it was before freeze distillation, I *should* in theory not have anymore methanol than I started with.. right?

I don't understand the first reply below. I don't care about anyone's religion or Gods, or their views on any drug.
I'm just interested in concentrated ethanol and I'm well-aware of how to safely distill alcohol using a still (heat!).
My question is about crystallization, or as some call it, "freeze distillation." Is this SAFE? What are the risks?

Do you really understand Freezing??
The crystallization of water?
Water at 32F +65 calories turns crystalline.
alcohol ethanol methane and others require much lower temperatures because of their densities.
Why do you say illegal " "The word distilled??" "
Distilled 'IS' boiling water then condensing'
As an advertising term freezing IS not the same.
BUT
where does all that dung you mention go when there are NO spaces inside the frozen ice.??
That white spot on top??? dissolved impurities?? got that ?
Eliminate that
then lets talk distillation.. boiling or freezing?
whats your beef with alcohol, ethanol and methanol????
Some radical, intolerable, religiously warped concept of foods.???
