Step by Step: Turning cheap Vodka into expensive Vodka!

[Will Wood]

I like it because it's cheap, if you do the math you're getting more alchol for the money

I know That's why I usually get it.
It's pretty much a buy one get one free compared to all the 80 proof fiths out there...

[Python14]

Obviously these guys have never been to college....else their taste buds would already be immune to cheap/vile drinks such as but not limited to Aristocrat.


Can this be done with cheap Puerto Rican rum?

Proof is percentage times 2. So, 151 is 75.5% alcohol.

94% alcool is 188 proof.

You DON't want to drink that straight.

[Will Wood]

Umm.. I know.

And I wouldn't dare touch that 94% stuff alone. I'd make a nice mix out of it.

[Thordic]

People who do shots of Everclear are retarded.

They are just trying to show off. It makes your mouth feel nasty, not to mention it can easily induce vomiting.

Even 151 at least has some taste.

Everclear + Mr. Scrunchy Fruit Punch + Water = punch that women will destroy their livers on.

No one should ever let me make punch though. Some girl passed out in her own vomit and peed her pants after drinking my punch all night.

[ShooterJM]

That's my point. The filter has a slow trickle comming out of it, meaning their could be a good amount of alcohol evaporating given how long it is exposed and the increased surface area. Then again I don't know how fast if at all that type of alchol evaporates.

Hmmm i'll try it this week. Assuming 40% alcohol maybe I can try to measure loss by differences in volume? And maybe if the alcohol is kept at a very cold temp....

Not very accurate, but I can't think of a good way to measure it on the cheap.

Everclear + Mr. Scrunchy Fruit Punch + Water

While Fruitpunch does make an excellent mix, nothing can beat anything that has some blue Poweraid in it.
I stole a case of that stuff from my work for the sole reason of mixing it with alchohol.

ha ha i thought it was something good. i knew that already. now if u guys can show me how to turn the most abundend resource in college ( ramen noodles) into alcohol, then youd be my hero

You cannot do it unless you can measure proof. You will loose some volume because some of the liquid will get stuck in the filter and you have to determine if the alcohol is indeed evaporating faster than the whatever else is in it.

all you need is a little something called the philosopher's stone.

bet none of you dudes have done the man shot

Simply use a hydrometer to see if the specific gravity has changed. Although I guess if you don't homebrew you might not have a hydrometer.

I sure haven't and I wish you hadn't told us you're into that kind of thing.

I saw this about two weeks ago, and decided I needed to try it. Not really for the cheap-ness but if it worked.

I started with Laird's Vodka, filtered it ten times, and messured it with a hydrometer before and after. And I kept a control sample.

and? Still horrible, not better if at all from the control. No difference in the hydrometer readings.

It's a few hours of my life I want back.

Laird's Vodka

It's funny you mentioned Lairds. My crazy uncle from NJ thought bringing Lairds Applejack would be a good idea for a wedding gift. Well, if it was any other family, it would have been a gracious gift. However, considering half my family works for Jack Daniels and the other half was conceived as a result of Jack Daniels.....it was not recieved well.
