Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80384718 Not sure why it clouds, but it does. Reverse your process. I should have added the water to the PGA? Yes. Make sure they are both close to the same temp. I'm looking for some more info..... [link to homedistiller.org (secure)] |

(OP) User ID: 78018011 United States 06/23/2021 12:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | When the methanol and water are separate, they both exhibit hydrogen bonding with themselves. When the water and methanol are mixed together, some of the existing hydrogen bonding (water-water or methanol-methanol) is disturbed and now there is hydrogen bonding between water and methanol. This new hydrogen bonding pair (water-methanol) releases energy when it forms as it is more favorable than maintaining only water-water and methanol-methanol hydrogen bonding; the temperature increase you observe is the result of the released energy warming the solution.

I was just shocked that the bottle got warm. and slightly fearful. Last Edited by Bennder on 06/23/2021 01:17 PM Communism is for LOSERS Communism is SLAVERY Fuck Joe Biden |

I reduced it to About 80 proof. Last Edited by Bennder on 06/24/2021 04:54 PM Communism is for LOSERS Communism is SLAVERY Fuck Joe Biden |

If you have no fluoride in your water, then no big deal. If you do, get unfluoridated water from a well or elsewhere. If you must boil fluoridated water to decontaminate from pathogens, use a pressure cooker and boil as little as possible. |

Since calcium can clog water pipes and such, they desided to bombard the water with Soundwaves to shatter the composition before it gets send out as tap water. I have trouble drinking it, don't know why. Is the water not good anymore? I checked the ppm levels it's fine at 300 And PH is optimal 7. So WTH is wrong with the water or is it just me? |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80520994 Should have used distilled water. BS, we have some of the best moonshiners here in the eastern part of the US. Most water used by moonshiners either comes from creeks or wells. End product is crystal clear. |
