Yes but you didn’t come up with a silly name and marketing plan which is what people will remember in the end.
Message HaStuMiteZen99 beers 1111 º places 27 º 05:14 Thu 11/26/2009 I spoke to James recently about this and he was saying that the % would be verified by lab test so I would assume the 32% is accurate.
Message JoeMcPhee P beers 12197 º places 543 º 05:30 Thu 11/26/2009 Originally posted by SilkTork Originally posted by JoeMcPhee You can’t purify indefinitely using fractional freezing and the concentration of ethanol left behind is a consequence of the final temperature, not anything else. Since they said they only got down to -20, I’m very skeptical of the ABV claim. If they simply used the volume of beer they started out with then the volume they ended up with, I’m afraid the calculation is way off. I wouldn’t believe it unless they got it lab tested. They did it more than once. Same as Hair of the Dog Dave - and that was claimed to be 29%, so they are in the same ballpark. That’s my point... doing it twice isn’t any different than doing it once. The liquid doesn’t care what the solid is doing, so to speak. As the temperature drops you also lose a greater and greater proportion of the alcohol because it starts to freeze out as well. It’s physics, not simply skepticism. FWIW, I don’t believe Dave either... I’d be surprised if that stuff was much over 20.
