If you put a weak alcohol mixture in the freezer, what doesn't freeze is pretty close to pure alcohol.

FWIW, I'm not sure whether it's legal to do this with liquor. Not a lawyer. :drunk2:

Some of the distillers and moonshiners freeze the mash vs distillation for small batches. I learned that from a friend.........

FredKrueger100 - are you using the alcohol for a hand sanitizer or a general surface disinfectant? You might want to save the alcohol for a hand sanitizer (mix with Aloe Vera gel at more than 60% alcohol) since it is hard to find. Mix up chlorine bleach and water (directions on container) and put in a spray bottle to spray surfaces or towels to wipe surfaces. Chlorine Bleach has been fairly easy to find.

Wife has been scouring the internet. Finally found a place to buy a gallon of 70% hand sanitizer. Came yesterday. We can refill our little pocket bottles now.
My wife did the same thing. I carry a little round bottle of it in my pocket for now but I'm going tacticool with mine and ordering a flashlight holder. Saaaweet!

I know this is an ignorant question but how do you mix 1:1 ? I’ve never understood what that means. Like one part bleach three parts water. I don’t get it.

So if his 50% is rubbing alcohol and my 91% is isopropyl alcohol it won’t work?


Jesus H Christ son, who drives you to and from work?

Do you feed yourself?
