 PF Liquor Tek

Ok... I just purchased a bottle of 95% ethyl alcohol (everclear) to use in the PF Liquor Tek extraction of Psilocybin. The tek calls for 200 proof (100% pure ethyl alcohol) but also says that the 95% ethy will work however the 5% h2o is a negative.
How can I elimante the 5% water from the everclear in order to have a remaining 100% pure anhydrous ethyl alchahol?
(wow..I cannot spell at all)

you need:
an airtight tupperware (big enough to put inside 2 plastic cups)
2 cups
drierite or dessicant
put in one cup the drierite and fill the other with alcohol.
Put the 2 cups in the tupperware and close it, in a couple days all the water will be absorbed by the drierite

There is a much easier way to do that. Keep putting salt in the bottle till no more will dissolve. Then you will have an alcohol layer on top and water layer on the bottom. I have done this before with rubbing alcohol and I know it works. Also a good way to turn cheap liquor into moonshine!

somebody please confirm that this salt method works. it sound too good to be true. i can brew sugar water up to 22%. this you be excellent since the salt could be reused.
jeremy - does the alcohol taste of salt or is none at all absorbed?

The water absorbs all of the salt, so there is no salt in the alcohol.

ive been trying it and cant get it to work. i put in 15% wine with lots of salt (normal sodium chloride). i think it only works with very high alcohol solutions.
but i found a university website describing seperating 50% solution with potassium carbonate. does anybody know about this.
also the biofuel website talks about adding lime to alcohol

(I think this law is very stupid).

I know Everclear is available in NC (was a few months ago at any rate). However if you are going to go through the trouble of making the ethanol anhydrous, why not start with Vodka?

OK so the salt is water soluble, not alchohol soluble....so it disolves into the water, not the alchohol.....you now have salt water,that is way heavier that alchohol...it seperates into two layers and you dump the top0 layer (alchohol)into another cup)..
With the wine... did you stir it well?then let it sit undisturbed? if so and it still didnt work i would say that the water in the wine was saturated with other minerals or something and wouldnt disolve any more salt...
