Distillation of Alcohol By Freezing

[Harvey A. Kader]

This technique is chemical nonsense. Ethanol(commonly called "alcohol"),
and methanol are miscible with water. The same thing happens with
ethylene glycol(antifreeze) and water. The two liquids mix, and the
freezing point is depressed by the alcohol. With a high enough
proportion of alcohol the freezing point is depressed to below what is
available in a household freezer - that is why it is chemical nonsense.

Ice beer and ice wine is manufactured by freezing techniques. You are
still left with mostly WATER, not 100% alcohol(beer 5% alcohol, wine 12%
alcohol).

The ONLY way to separate alcohol from water in any significant quantity
is by DISTILLATION. This requires HEAT.

Hope this helps.

Regards.
