Isopropylene vs distilled alcohol
    #27383706 - 07/11/21 09:42 PM (2 years, 6 months ago)

Any home distillers here use their heads and tails for sterilisation instead of isopropyl alcohol?

My heads and tails are 90-92% abv, so I'd say it'll sterilise as well as iso?

It would probably work.

Ethyl for sterilizing is usualy 70% so you can even dilute them a bit.

depends how clean your heads/foreshots are , the foreshots contain the fusel /other oils so when the alcho evaporates they will get left behind .
if you are distilling on a dirty mash it will contain all sorts of shitty by products.

*by dirty i mean on pulp
