Hello friends! In today's article we will talk about how to dilute alcohol with water at home. And not only up to 40 degrees, but up to any necessary strength. I will tell you how to choose the right proportions and what kind of water to choose. I will also show you how to make vodka. At first glance, everything is simple, but if you do not follow the mixing technology, you can get a cloudy, ugly liquid.

The idea of ​​writing this article has been ripening for a long time. After all, I constantly write in my recipes that you can use diluted alcohol instead of vodka, but not everyone knows how to properly dilute it, for example, up to 70 degrees. If you are lucky enough to have access to quality alcohol, then this article is for you. By the way, where do you get it? Let us know in the comments.

What should be the alcohol

About what alcohols are described in separate article... Here we will not focus on this. I'll just say that it should be naturally drinkable, of good quality, and from trusted sources. And also absolutely transparent and without foreign odors.

What water to use

The quality of the water used is no less important than the quality of the alcohol. Okay, bent. Let's say a little less, but also very, very important. Needless to say, water should be potable, clean and clear, so let's move on to the less obvious things.

The main indicator of water for us is hardness. Hardness is the amount of calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) in the water. It is measured in mg-eq / l. For dilution, it is necessary to use water with the lowest hardness values, in other words, soft water. Otherwise, the solution will become cloudy, and even lose its taste.

So how hard should it be? According to the publication "Technology of alcohol and alcoholic beverage production" (M. "Food Industry", 1973) for the preparation of alcoholic beverages, water with a hardness of less than 1 mg-eq / l for natural water and less than 0.36 mg should be used. eq / l for softened water. We will use natural water, so we focus on 1 mEq / L.

How do you know how hard your water is, you ask? I'll tell you now, but let's first consider the options for what kind of water we can use.

Tap water

Worst case. This hardness can reach 7 meq / l. In addition, it contains chlorine, which has its own pronounced smell. I do not recommend using such water, but if you nevertheless decide, then some manipulations need to be performed over it.

First, let the water stand for 3-4 hours to evaporate the bleach. Then boil the water and let it cool. After boiling, pass through a household water filter jug. Now there are a lot of them on sale and they do a good job with water purification. After these procedures, the water is ready for use.

Spring water

Most sites on the Internet recommend this kind of water, but I would not be so categorical. It's not all that simple. As a rule, spring water is very tasty, but its composition and hardness cannot be determined without special analysis. In addition, its indicators can vary greatly from the season, heavy rains or drought.

Therefore, I cannot recommend such water. If you have a spring or well nearby, you can try using this water to prepare a small amount of the mixture and see what happens. If it does not become cloudy and its taste suits you, then the water from this spring is suitable for use.

Purchased bottled water

This, in my opinion, is the best of the options. On the purchased bottle they write chemical composition and hardness, so we just have to choose the right water for our purposes.

This, as I said, is water with a hardness of 1 meq / l and below. There are plenty of these on sale. I have even seen water with a hardness of 0.05 meq / L. It so happens that the total hardness is not indicated on the bottle. Then you should focus on the content of Ca and Mg. It is desirable that calcium is less than 10 mg / l, and magnesium is less than 8 mg / l. At least my water has such indicators.

Distilled water

It would seem that what could be better than water purified from all impurities for diluting alcohol? Such water will definitely not become cloudy. But even here it is not so simple. Everything will depend on what you are going to use the resulting mixture for.

If for further preparation of any tincture, for example, Pepper or Nutcrackers, the taste of which is determined primarily by the ingredients included in it, then distilled water will do just fine. After all, it has no taste.

For the same reason, it is poorly suited for making vodka, the taste of which largely depends on the taste of the water. Vodka prepared in distilled water is significantly inferior in taste to vodka in spring or bottled water.

To summarize: for dilution, use soft bottled water with a hardness of 1 mEq / L and below.

Mixing ratio

When mixing alcohol with water, the volume of the resulting solution decreases. That is, if we add 1 liter of water to 1 liter of alcohol at the outlet, we will not get 2 liters of liquid. The volume will be slightly less. This effect is called contraction and significantly complicates our calculations.

For the correct choice of proportions, you must use a special table - the Fertman table. It indicates how many ml of water must be added to 1000 ml of alcohol in order to obtain a solution of the desired concentration.

I give it below (click on the picture to enlarge).

For example, to dilute 90% alcohol to 60%, add 535 ml of water to 1000 ml of alcohol.

It should be noted that all these proportions are correct at a temperature of the mixed liquids of 20 ºС. If you measure the concentration of alcohol with an alcohol meter, then you should be aware that when the temperature changes, its readings change. A deviation of 5 degrees in temperature results in a deviation of approximately 1 degree in alcohol. Here is a plate for 96% alcohol.

You probably noticed that Fertman's table contains data only for alcohol with a strength of 95% and below. But what if you have a stronger one?

In such cases, you can use the formula below. It calculates how much the mixture should have after dilution.

Formula

X = S / K * V (ml),

X - final volume of diluted liquid (ml)

For example, we need to dilute 500 ml of 96% alcohol to a strength of 40%. We consider: X = 96/40 * 500 = 1200 ml. It turns out that we need to add water to 500 ml of alcohol until its volume increases to 1200 ml.

Hard? Then there is this option. This is a fairly rough estimate, but it is quite suitable for home conditions.
M = SV / K-V (ml),

M is the amount of water required for dilution (ml)

S - initial alcohol strength (%)

K - the required strength of the solution (%)

V - initial volume of alcohol (ml)

Example: Again we dilute 500 ml of alcohol 96% to a strength of 40%. M = 96 * 500 / 40-500 = 700 ml. It turns out that 700 ml of water must be added to 500 ml of alcohol. But the final volume of liquid will be less than 1200 ml. Remember why? That's right - contraction.

Mixing technology

Mixing alcohol and water is also not so simple. In various literature, and on many sites and forums, they write that it is correct to pour alcohol into water. Say, it is necessary to pour a heavier liquid (water density 1 g / ml) into a lighter one (alcohol density 0.8 g / l), so they mix faster and the chemical reaction proceeds correctly.

But at the same time, I have heard more than once that at distilleries they pour like alcohol into water, and vice versa. And some literature also cites a technology by which water is added to alcohol. Here's an example:

In the book " Technological instructions on alcoholic beverage production ", 1971. on page 65 it says:

"The calculated amount of alcohol is poured into the prepared sorting vat through the measuring tank, then water"

In the reference book "Recipes for alcoholic beverages", 1981 edition, on page 9 about the preparation of vodka, the following is indicated:
"Water is added to the blend and the volume of the blending vat set on the measured glass is adjusted."

From personal experience I will say that I mixed this and that, I did not notice much difference. The main thing is to adhere to the following rules:

• Alcohol and water must be cooled before mixing. You can put alcohol in the freezer and water in the refrigerator.
• You can pour as alcohol into water, and vice versa, the main thing is to pour in as quickly as possible and immediately mix well.

Alcohol diluted with water is called grading. Freshly prepared sorting is not suitable for use. She needs some time to complete all the chemical reactions that are taking place. Therefore, before using it, you need to defend it for at least a couple of days, and better week... Close the bottle tightly and store in the refrigerator.

How to properly prepare vodka from alcohol

As I said above, a mixture of alcohol and water is not yet vodka, but just a semi-finished product called sorting. But the sorting acquires the usual taste of vodka only after cleaning it with coal. During carbonization, the mixture is purified from harmful impurities and redox reactions, after which sorting and turns into vodka.

For cleaning, you can use charcoal sold in specialty stores for winemakers, activated charcoal from a pharmacy, or a household water filter jug ​​sold in supermarkets.

The proportions per 1 liter of sorting are approximately as follows - 1 tablespoon of coal from a moonshiner store, or 30 tablets activated carbon from a pharmacy, or double filtration through a jug. Sorting should be 42%, because after charcoal 2 degrees will be lost.

After filtration, sugar (1 tsp per 1 liter), or glucose (20 ml of a 40% solution per 1 liter) or fructose are added to the vodka to soften the taste. Also sometimes add slaked vinegar, glycerin, etc.

Today I am not giving a detailed technological process for preparing vodka from alcohol, since this is a topic for a separate article. I will write it very soon. Subscribe to updates and it will come to your email.

And I, perhaps, have everything for today. Cook the right drinks and be happy.

Until next time. Dorofeev Pavel.

The recipe and technology are very simple. In terms of quality, the finished product turns out to be no worse than factory counterparts, and even better with good raw materials. I will tell you how to make vodka from alcohol at home. You will learn how to properly dilute alcohol with water in the right proportions. You can also add flavors if desired.

If you or your relatives have access to quality ethyl alcohol, then I advise you to prepare vodka according to this recipe. Moreover, now in Russia there is no responsibility for home brewing and the production of vodka mixtures for their own needs (the main thing is not to sell). The whole process consists of four simple steps, which we will cover in detail.

1. Water preparation. Spring water is used in classic Russian vodka recipes. But it is not easy for residents of big cities to get it, so we will get by with ordinary bottled water, which can be bought in almost every store. The first thing to know is boiled and distilled water is not suitable for vodka, since during boiling and distillation, water loses some nutrients and poorly dissolves alcohol.

For home production of vodka, water is used that contains a minimum amount of salts. If you buy it in a store, then carefully look at the label, which indicates the salt content. I also advise you to pay attention to the transparency and hardness, the softer and more transparent the water, the better.

2. Preparation of alcohol. Naturally, it should only be ethyl or medical. The difference between them is that medical alcohol is made from ethyl alcohol, it contains small impurities of water and other substances at the molecular level. Both ethyl and medical alcohol are suitable for the production of vodka, in our case there is no significant difference between them.

Before starting the dilution, determine the strength of the alcohol, this is done using a hydrometer. The initial strength is needed so that later you know in what proportion to mix alcohol with water.

3. Preparation of other ingredients. In addition to water and alcohol, we need glucose. You can cook it yourself by dissolving 1 kg of sugar in 1 liter of water. Then the mixture is put on low heat and boiled. During the boiling process, a white foam will appear, which needs to be removed. The syrup is considered ready, if the foam no longer appears, then it can be removed from the heat.

Depending on your taste preferences you can also add honey, citric acid, orange and lemon juices to alcohol vodka.

4. Mixing. After all the ingredients are ready, proceed to mixing. First, we determine the amount of water. This is done using the special table below.

For example, if you want to get vodka with a strength of 40 degrees, then you need to mix 100 ml of 90-hundred-degree alcohol with 130.8 ml of water. This is how they count correct proportion... In the example, it is 1 part alcohol to 1.3 parts water. You can make adjustments for the addition of other substances (glucose, juice), but these ingredients insignificantly affect the strength of the finished drink.

All the necessary calculations are automatically made by the calculator for the dilution of alcohol with water.

To receive after dilution,
need to add water

It is the strength of 40 degrees that is considered optimal, since it contributes to the complete dissolution of the molecules of all substances that make up the composition. Remember that 500 ml of water and 500 ml of alcohol will not make one liter of vodka, since some of the liquid will be absorbed by chemical reactions.

Now let's go directly to mixing. First, the calculated amount of water is poured into the prepared container, then glucose (at least a little) and other ingredients (optional) are added to taste. When diluting, it should be remembered that it is correct to add alcohol to water, and not vice versa. Otherwise, the alcohol will turn white and become unusable. homemade vodka.

After the right amount alcohol got into the container, the entire contents are thoroughly mixed. This helps the substances dissolve more quickly. If the container is tightly closed, then instead of stirring, the vodka can be shaken.

4. Purification filtration. 3-4 tablets of activated carbon are placed in the resulting solution and shaken well. Next, the vodka must be infused for 2 hours at room temperature, and then filtered through a dense cloth.

Almost ready!

Alcohol vodka is almost ready. It remains only to pour it, filling the bottles to the very neck, and close it tightly with corks. Alcohol will evaporate when exposed to air. I advise you to let the drink rest for another 1-2 days, then its taste will be optimal. The shelf life of vodka prepared according to this recipe depends on the amount of third-party additives. If they are not there, then the vodka can be stored indefinitely.

Stanislav shared with us his method of "sorting" the dilution of alcohol with water.

Perhaps many of us often come across a term like isopropyl alcohol. However, it is unlikely that someone will be able to explain in detail where it is used or how it differs from ethyl alcohol. For those who for the first time set themselves the goal of buying isopropyl alcohol in the required quantity, some information will also be useful, which will help to understand in more detail this familiar "stranger".

So, let's begin. For those who have never even come across such a substance, we inform you that it has several names: isopropyl alcohol, 2-propanol, isopropanol, dimethylcarbinol. Therefore, do not be alarmed if you come across one of these names. They are all the same. Its formula looks like CH3CH (OH) CH3. A little tricky? Do not be afraid, when you learn it, you will definitely not confuse it with anything else.

Externally, isopropyl alcohol is a colorless liquid and at the same time has a characteristic alcoholic odor. Most likely, it is unlikely that someone can make a mistake here. It belongs to the simplest secondary aliphatic alcohols.

What do you think it takes to get this high quality product? Perhaps it will be a great discovery for you that the propane-propylene fraction of cracking gases, as well as propylene fractions of the gases of oil pyrolysis, are used as raw materials for the production of isopropyl alcohol. The substance is obtained using sulfuric acid or direct hydration of propylene. Have you ever heard of something like this? Now you will know about it.

Believe it or not, this substance is involved in many industrial processes as a solvent. As you know, these days solvents are quite in demand in very many industries. This is due to the specifics of various technological processes. Therefore, many enterprises are constantly striving to buy isopropyl alcohol in large enough volumes. Despite the fact that the substance is very often mixed with water and organic solvents, it does not lose its properties. That's alcohol! Due to this, isopropyl alcohol is widely used in the production of essential oils, waxes, ethers, alkaloids, synthetic resins. However, most often the substance is used in order to obtain acetone, as well as hydrogen peroxide, methyl isobutyl ketone, isopropyl acetate, isopropylamine. Memorizing these substances is hardly worth it, since usually at the household level we do not come across them, and industry representatives already understand what is at stake.

The following industries always intend to buy isopropyl alcohol: chemical, oil, medical, furniture, food, wood-chemical, perfumery. Well, just an irreplaceable and necessary component! It should be noted that due to special government regulatory policy, in most cases, ethanol can be replaced by isopropyl alcohol, but with the exception of Food Industry and some other specific industries. For turning and milling work when cutting aluminum, isopropyl alcohol is mixed with oil. This allows you to significantly increase the productivity of all jobs. Without this alcohol just nowhere!

Due to the fact that isopropyl alcohol has a depressing effect on the human central nervous system, oral use in large doses (more than 50 ml) should be avoided. In the process of metabolism in the liver, the substance turns into acetone. As you know, acetone tends to accumulate and manifest itself in the form of various unpleasant symptoms. Do not overuse this "drink"!

In addition to water and alcohol, we need glucose. You will learn how to properly dilute alcohol with water in the right proportions. 2. Preparation of alcohol. You can cook it yourself by dissolving 1 kg of sugar in 1 liter of water. Then the mixture is put on low heat and boiled. Remember that from 500 ml of water and 500 ml of alcohol you get one liter of vodka, since some of the liquid will be absorbed by chemical reactions.

The recipe and technology are very simple. The difference between them is that medical alcohol is made from ethyl alcohol, it contains small impurities of water and other substances at the molecular level. Before starting the dilution, determine the strength of the alcohol, this is done using a hydrometer. For example, if you want to get vodka with a strength of 40 degrees, then you need to mix 100 ml of 90-hundred-degree alcohol with 130.8 ml of water. This is how the correct proportion is calculated.

First, the calculated amount of water is poured into the prepared container, then glucose (at least a little) and other ingredients (optional) are added to taste.

After the required amount of alcohol has entered the container, the entire contents are thoroughly mixed. 3-4 tablets of activated carbon are placed in the resulting solution and shaken well. Alcohol will evaporate when exposed to air. The shelf life of vodka prepared according to this recipe depends on the amount of third-party additives. Alcohols are different - grain and potato. A BEST ADD TO ALCOHOL KALGAN ROOT: SOLD IN PHARMACIES.

Concerns about the products of the combination of this oxygen with alcohol. Good day to all. In the summer, while it was warm, I was engaged in "distilling" (I brewed moonshine), for the winter I bought alcohol for the first time. I like the taste and smell of star anise, so I decided to make a la Becherovka.

But the alcohol, I did not immediately dissolve, but insisted on pure. And when it came time to "skim the cream" (dilute with water), I was very upset !! Don't insist on alcohol !! I have another problem - in the plastic canister of alcohol there was an aroma like from a rubber heating pad from the times of the USSR. What is the best way to get rid of it without distillation?

I bought a 5 liter can of alcohol. I remember my dad always brought Starka, Pshenichnaya and Baikal water from VDNKh. I think when she gets married it will not be ashamed ... Although in Chisinau I saw vodka 28 (European standard), 40, 45, 50 degrees ... you can see it for everybody. In Soviet times, it was popular to drink technical alcohol. Several times I have been to such gatherings. The most interesting thing from the nasty smell and a trace did not remain, the drink was drunk like capital vodka... The funny thing is that the head of the sobering-up station told me the recipe when we were with him in the hospital.

About how long to boil and for what volume of WATER is this amount of glucose? And the idea came to me - to make vodka or tincture (a little over 30 grams) on ginger!

That is, if we combine 100 ml of alcohol and 100 ml of water, we will not get 200 ml of the total mixture. However, if we consider dilution in terms of alcohol content, everything is greatly simplified. When they say that vodka contains 40 percent alcohol by volume, it is understood that each liter of it contains 400 ml of anhydrous (100%) alcohol. I am making corrections using the volume expansion coefficient of the alcohol to be 0.0011.

Moreover, now in Russia there is no responsibility for home brewing and the production of vodka mixtures for their own needs (the main thing is not to sell). During the boiling process, a white foam will appear, which needs to be removed.

After all the ingredients are ready, proceed to mixing. In the example, it is 1 part alcohol to 1.3 parts water. You can make adjustments for the addition of other substances (glucose, juice), but these ingredients insignificantly affect the strength of the finished drink.

If you or your relatives have access to high-quality ethyl alcohol, then I advise you to prepare vodka according to this recipe. Alcohol with mineral water is cooler than a "screwdriver" will be! So I once confused water bottles (I put filtered water in the refrigerator) and diluted with mineral water.

How to make vodka from alcohol by diluting with water and adding glucose

Every happy owner of a food rectified at least once thought about how best to dilute alcohol with water to make vodka. Despite the huge assortment of vodka boutiques, many drink lovers want to prepare their own exclusive. Moreover, making alcohol for personal use is not prohibited by law. Homemade vodka is a product of a higher quality than a purchased one, provided that proven raw materials and correct technology are used.

Ingredients for vodka

Alcohol

The basic material for vodka production is alcohol. First of all depends on its characteristics final result... For the manufacture of vodka from alcohol, you can use ethyl food rectified or its medical equivalent. They are often equated, but there are some differences:

• Raw materials. Medicinal ethanol is made only from potatoes and grains that are high in starch. While food - from almost any agricultural crop;
• Fortress. Food ethanol industrial production has a fortress of 96–96.3 °. The strength of a medicine can be different and depends on the final purpose of use. The most common fortress is 95 °, but it is also found below, for example, 70 °;
• Cleaning. In terms of the degree of purification, medical alcohol has no equal, there are practically no impurities in it. With regard to the food subspecies, everything again depends on the category.

With a medical product, everything is clear and transparent, just like it is. It can only differ in strength. Accordingly, the finished vodka from such raw materials may turn out a little more or a little less. The food rectification has an internal classification that is worth familiarizing with.

1. Alcohol of the highest purity 96.2 °

• potatoes, sugar beets, molasses, cereals are used. Any proportions;
• fusel oils 6 mg / dm;
• esters 13 mg / dm3;
• methyl alcohol 0,03%.

• fusel oils 5 mg / dm 3;
• esters 13 mg / dm3;
• methyl alcohol 0.05%.

• cereals and potatoes are used, the content of the latter should not exceed 60%;
• fusel oils 5 mg / dm 3;
• esters 10 mg / dm3;
• methyl alcohol 0.02%.

• cereals and potatoes are used, the content of the latter should not exceed 30%;
• fusel oils 5 mg / dm 3;
• esters 5 mg / dm3;
• methyl alcohol 0.02%.

• only grain crops are used, mainly rye and wheat;
• fusel oils 5 mg / dm 3;
• esters 10 mg / dm3;
• methyl alcohol 0.003%.

When preparing vodka from home-made alcohol, the values ​​of impurities are not known at all. But there are no questions about the composition.

Water

The second component required to dilute the alcohol is water. Much also depends on its good quality. Industrial brands of premium vodka, in addition to the degrees and methods of purification, prioritize the use of spring water. This marketing ploy increases customer loyalty and trust.

In a megalopolis, such a product is difficult to get. Therefore, bottled water from wells is quite suitable. Mandatory rule: you can not use boiled and distilled water. These processes change the chemical composition of the water. Substances and trace elements necessary when mixed with alcohol molecules disappear.

It is worth paying attention to the content of mineral salts. There should be as few of them as possible. We give preference to soft and transparent water. Information on both salt content and hardness level can be found on the label. Just look at a few samples and choose the best one.

Glucose

Glucose is an ingredient that is not always given enough attention. And in vain. It is glucose that helps to eliminate the characteristic alcohol smell that remains even after various cleanings. It really makes the drink soft and drinkable.

Glucose can be bought at the pharmacy, but it is not difficult to make it yourself. To prepare it, you need to mix 1 kg of sugar and 1 liter of water. Boil the mixture thoroughly over low heat, removing the white foam that appears. As soon as the foam stops forming, the fire can be turned off. It turns out a kind of sugar syrup familiar to manufacturers. homemade liquor... This is glucose.

Truth and fiction about homemade vodka made from alcohol

Having prepared all the necessary ingredients, you can proceed to mixing alcohol and water. This seemingly simple process has its own subtleties and myths passed down from generation to generation.

It is important to strictly observe the proportions of water and alcohol - really

There are many recipes where the ingredients are taken in a ratio of 2 parts ethanol to 3 parts water. To properly dilute alcohol and achieve the exact strength, it is better to use a special table with ready-made calculations.

In the first line we find the original strength of the existing rectification. The first column contains the strength of the already diluted alcohol. At the intersection - the amount of water that needs to be diluted with 0.1 liters of alcohol.

Example: original product- 1 liter of ethyl rectified 95 °, the desired result is vodka 40 °. You will need 1444 ml of water (144.4 ml for every 100 ml of alcohol).

You can't pour water into alcohol - fiction

There is a very widespread belief that only alcohol can be added to water and in no case vice versa. This theory is based on many pseudoscientific studies about the structure of water and how it breaks down. Ethanol, cloudy after the injection of water, is often cited in confirmation.

In the professional environment of chemists, this statement does not find a response. In terms of chemical processes, there is no difference between water mixed with ethanol and ethanol diluted with water. And the turbidity of the alcohol solution after adding water is explained by the loss of mineral salts. That is why, when choosing water, it is advised to pay attention to their content.

And if chemists have no questions, the physical side of the process has its own peculiarities. When water is poured into the solvent, a thermal reaction occurs with the release of heat. This is due to the different densities of liquids. This can be flammable only under the condition of very large volumes. Alcohol vodka at home is usually not made in such quantities as to result in significant heat emission. Quite acceptable warming of the aqueous-alcoholic solution is noted.

Vodka needs at least 2 days, and it is better to keep it in the cold for 2 weeks - fiction

When making homemade alcohol, it is practiced for a long time in a cool dark place. The goal is to wait for the maximum possible amount of impurities to precipitate. In the case of vodka, 99% of the salts fall out within the first few hours. Further aging only takes time, but usually does not affect the quality level.

Alcohol vodka recipe

To make vodka from alcohol yourself, you will need:

• alcohol 95 ° - 1 liter;
• bottled water - 1.444 liters;
• glucose - 30 ml.

Cooking method

• We prepare required amount ingredients. When using alcohol of a different strength, we look at the table and recalculate the amount of water.
• We mix alcohol with water. The sequence of actions is not important here. But practicing moonshiners recommend diluting the water with ethanol, pouring it in a thin stream into pre-measured water.
• Add glucose to mixed alcohol. Stir and even shake as thoroughly as possible.
• To make the alcohol vodka cleaner, let's use a simple but effective carbon filtration. This will require activated carbon. Suitable brands KAU-A, KAU-SORB, BAU-A, BAU-LV. The amount of coal required for cleaning will depend on the type. The exact information can be found in the instructions for each drug.
• Coal can be crushed, added to vodka and filtered after 2-3 hours. Another way is to make a coal column. To do this, take a funnel and alternate layers of crushed coal and cotton or special filter discs. We pass vodka through this filter several times.

The drink is ready to drink immediately after cooling to the desired temperature. There are no shelf life restrictions.

How to properly dilute alcohol with water - 3 key points

If you need to dilute alcohol with water at home, remember 3 key rules that must be strictly followed:

1. Before dilution, the water must be cooled (preferably, the temperature should not be higher than 20 degrees Celsius)
2. You need to pour alcohol into the water, but in no case the other way around
3. The diluted alcohol must settle

Now more about the procedure itself.

Why dilute alcohol with water?

Considering that our site is dedicated to home brewing and the preparation of other alcoholic beverages, we will consider the use of alcohol exclusively in this area.

A rare drink in the process of its preparation requires the use of 96% alcohol. Even most tinctures are prepared for more weak solution... Therefore, the only way to get the desired degree is to dilute the alcohol with water.

What is needed to properly dilute alcohol?

It is important to remember that the basis for getting good alcoholic beverage is the use quality ingredients... Therefore, the correct dilution of alcohol is the most significant moment in the overall process.

To dilute alcohol to the desired degree, we need:

1. Alcohol, the degree of which is precisely known.
2. Chilled water.
3. Container for diluted alcohol - a glass jar or bottle of the appropriate volume is ideal.

Alcohol, no matter how trite it may sound, should be drinkable and nothing more. No additional impurities, transparent and preferably already tested. It can also be refrigerated before the procedure, for example, in the freezer.

Pay particular attention to your choice of water. It must be clean. Under no circumstances use tap water, including boiled water. To dilute alcohol, distilled water, water from a pure source or water that is sold in five-liter bottles in stores (in this case, choose according to taste and hardness, because depending on the brand, they can vary significantly), or is brought to order in a container volume of 19 liters.

Where to get distilled water, if the choice is on it? Buy at the pharmacy (yes, it is not everywhere, but it is sold, just ask the pharmacist) or prepare it yourself by distilling it on moonshine still.

Not everyone recommends using a distillate to dilute alcohol, although in practice it turns out no worse than using other water. Use distilled water if diluted alcohol is used to make tinctures, as it has no taste. Use "tasty" water to make vodka.

The best way- purchased water in 5 and 6-liter bottles or imported in 19-liter bottles. Why? Because on such bottles, as a rule, the composition of the water is written. To dilute alcohol, it is recommended to use water with a hardness of less than 1 meq / liter. Look for this parameter on the label.

Alcohol dilution table

To easily dilute alcohol in your kitchen, use the Fertman table, which shows how many milliliters of water you need to pour into 100 milliliters of alcohol of a certain strength in order to get the desired degree.

Examples of using the Fertman table

For example, you have a 90 ° alcohol that you want to make a 35 ° solution. In this case, 100 ml of alcohol must be poured into 163.3 ml of water. Or pour a liter of alcohol into 1 liter and 663 ml of water.

Remember to add alcohol to the water!

Using the Fertman table, you can reduce the degree to the desired one for any alcoholic beverage.

Alcohol dilution formula

In addition to the alcohol dilution table, you can use a special formula. It looks like this:

X - the desired value - the amount of water that will be needed to dilute alcohol to the desired degree (in milliliters)

P - initial value - the amount of alcohol that you have (in milliliters)

N is the degree of alcohol you have

M is the degree to be obtained

Example: to make vodka from a liter of alcohol with a strength of 96%, you need to pour alcohol into 1.4 liters of water.

Parsing an example: multiply 1000 milliliters of alcohol (1 liter) by the number that is obtained by subtracting one (1) from the result of dividing 96 (the strength of your alcohol) by 40 (the strength you want to get).

1400 = 1000x (96 / 40-1)

Another example: to get a solution with a strength of 65 ° from a liter of alcohol, you need to pour the alcohol into a liter of water (998.5 milliliters).

998.5 = 1000x (96 / 65-1)

Another example: to get a solution with a strength of 25 ° from 500 milliliters of alcohol, you need to pour alcohol into 1.1 liters of water.

1100 = 500x (80 / 25-1)

Check the Fertman table. Based on it, 100 ml of alcohol with a strength of 80% to 25% can be diluted by pouring into 224 ml of water. Multiply 224 by 5 (5 times 100 milliliters) and you get 1120 - about 1.1 liters.

Deposition of diluted alcohol

The final stage of the alcohol dilution procedure is settling the finished drink. After diluting and mixing, place a tightly closed container with the resulting solution in a dark place for a week. It is important to observe temperature regime- the temperature should not be lower than 5 degrees Celsius.

If diluted alcohol is needed urgently, then reduce the settling time to two days.

For settling, use a container that is most suitable in terms of volume to the resulting solution. Diluted alcohol should be poured right up to the neck in order to minimize the area of ​​its interaction with oxygen. This will avoid the oxidation reaction and formation acetic acid.

Water is one of the most important components any vodka. The water used depends on taste qualities vodka. The water should be soft, transparent, colorless, free of any foreign tastes and odors. The best is spring water or from the headwaters of rivers. If it is tough, it should be filtered with a special filter before preparing the drink.

All recipes for making vodka from alcohol have a similar technology. Alcohol is poured into a liquid - water, juice or other drink, after which it is mixed well.

To make vodka from alcohol, the proportion is always approximately the same - two parts of alcohol are three parts of water. In some cases, it can be thinned more or less, it depends on the additional components.

You can add citric acid, juice, or other flavorings to the mixture. Sometimes they are added not only for taste and smell, but also to give vodka a certain color.

To make the drink softer, vodka is recommended to be passed through an activated carbon filter or distilled. After that, the drink is bottled and kept in a cool place for 7-10, and sometimes 14 days. If spices and herbs were added during the preparation process, the vodka will need to be additionally filtered. Cool charmingly before use and rest for a few days.

How to dilute alcohol with water: rules, recipes and secrets

The question that worries the happy owners of alcohol: how to properly dilute alcohol with water? In its pure form, it is of little use for drinking. But it is ideal in field conditions - it takes up little space, is lightweight and, when diluted with water, significantly increases in volume. How to dilute ethanol correctly?

Breeding rules

In undiluted form, it is used for external use as an antiseptic, for compresses and lotions. Only desperate sufferers and medical students drink it in its pure form in the ritual of initiation into a medical specialty. Doctors, contrary to legends, have long preferred cognac or whiskey to alcohol, since it burns the larynx quite badly and can seriously damage health.

To prevent the scalding effect, drink it not on exhalation, as consumers are accustomed to. spirits while inhaling. That is, first we draw air into the lungs, drink in one gulp and exhale. You cannot drink it with water or any drinks. If you are still not a medical student, and value your health, then it is still better to dilute alcohol.

Getting vodka by diluting alcohol is called "cold" production

Simple rules on how to dilute alcohol with water:

1. The taste of the resulting drink depends not only on the quality of ethanol, its purity - luxury, extra, medical - but also on the quality of the water.
2. When diluting to obtain vodka, it is necessary to observe a weight ratio of 2: 3.
3. It is necessary to shake the alcohol with water in a closed container without air access - ethanol is still a combustible substance.
4. Pour alcohol into the water, not the other way around. When pouring water, the liquid will become very hot and may cloudy.

Water

The taste of the resulting drink and its transparency depends primarily on the water. What kind of water should not be used to dilute alcohol? Definitely not worth using tap water... It is when it is used for dilution that a cloudy liquid is obtained. It's all about the hardness of the water. Its indicators depend on the presence of salts, carbonates, calcium and magnesium in it. The hardness of tap water ranges from 7 meq / l and above. At the same time, for the preparation of vodka, water with a hardness not higher than 1 mg-eq / l should be used. Purchased bottled water meets these indicators.

Tap water can be attempted to normalize by settling to remove chlorine, boiling to remove salts, and filtering through home filters for additional purification. After these manipulations, its properties will be close to satisfactory. After preparation, vodka based on tap water is best passed through carbon filter... To do this, place activated charcoal tablets from 5-10 packs in a watering can while straining.

The quality of the water used is just as important as the quality of the alcohol

When buying water for making vodka, you need to look not only at the hardness, but also at the ionic composition. Avoid using water with a broad cationic and anionic composition. The less salt there is in the water, the lighter it is.

Water from springs and wells also has hardness values ​​not exceeding 1 mg-eq / l. But other properties of this water - microbial number, iron salt content, carbonate hardness are usually not up to par. The composition of this water is unstable. It depends on the time of the year, the amount of precipitation.

Distilled water meets the requirements for the hardness criterion, but significantly reduces the taste of the drink, since it itself has no taste. However, if in the future you will use the diluted product for the preparation of liqueurs, tinctures and similar drinks, then distilled water is quite suitable.

How to dilute alcohol with water up to 40 degrees?

How to dilute alcohol with water to make vodka was invented by the great scientist Dmitry Ivanovich Mendeleev. It was he who first diluted ethanol to a forty-degree fortress. You can't just mix a glass of alcohol with two glasses of water. The fact is that when mixed, the solution decreases in volume. That is, by mixing a glass of ethanol with two glasses of water, the output will be less than three glasses. It is rather difficult to calculate the proportion to obtain a solution with a given strength. To facilitate this task, another great scientist - Fertman - compiled a table according to which you can determine how much water and ethanol you need to take to get a certain strength of the drink.

The main thing is to fully comply with the mixing technology

Fertman's table will help in the calculations. It will help determine how much water you need to take for 1 liter of alcohol. In the calculations, a liquid of 95% concentration is taken. If your degree is higher, then, accordingly, the strength of the vodka obtained from the table will be stronger. Therefore, before starting the calculations, it is better to check the strength of the available alcohol.

Pour ethanol into the water in a thin stream, while the water should be chilled. This will prevent cloudiness and soften the taste of the drink.

It has been experimentally established that the ideal ratio is 2: 3 (as Mendeleev himself believed)

How to quickly dilute alcohol with water at home?

Sometimes there is a situation when guests are on the doorstep, and there is only alcohol in the house. It becomes necessary to dilute it quickly. Stock up on the juice of half a lemon or orange, two parts ethanol, and three parts water. The prepared ingredients are shaken vigorously and cooled in the freezer. If you have ready-made ice, then when using it, you can simply add ice to the drink. Citrus fruits mask the bitter taste well and contribute to an easy hangover due to the presence of vitamin C.

It's not bad if there is a 10% glucose solution in the house. In this case, ethanol is diluted with a glucose solution in a 1: 1 ratio.

Drink recipes

To prepare vodka, take:

• 250 ml ethanol 96% concentration;
• 2 liters of water;
• 40 ml of glucose solution.

Add ascorbic acid on the tip of a knife. Add all the ingredients to the water and pour in the alcohol slowly while stirring. After cooking, chill the drink, or rather let it stand in a dark place under the lid for two to three days.

Honey, sugar, glucose, orange or lemon juices help soften the taste of cooked vodka.

For 0.5 liters of finished drink you will need:

• 250 grams of ethanol;
• 300 grams of water;
• a teaspoon of vinegar;
• one ampoule of 40% glucose solution.

The ingredients are mixed, after which the drink is filtered through activated carbon and placed in the refrigerator.

For lovers of sugary drinks, alcohol-based liqueur recipes may be suitable. For 1 kg of sugar and the zest of one orange, 1 liter of water is taken and boiled for half an hour, while the white foam is removed. Cool the resulting syrup and add 750 ml of ethanol to it in a thin stream.

Raspberry liqueur can be prepared by infusing 1 kg of raspberries in 1 liter of alcohol for 15 days. After that, 1 liter of water is mixed with 1 kg of sugar and boiled, removing the foam 15–20 minutes after boiling. Chilled syrup is mixed with raspberry extract.

By the same principle, you can prepare a liqueur based on any berries:

• strawberries;
• Strawberry;
• currant;
• Cherry.

An interesting taste is obtained by using cranberries, blueberries or blackberries. Unusual taste have ethanol-based chocolate and milk liqueurs. Cook 500 ml of milk with 100 g of cocoa powder and 2 bags of hot chocolate. After cooling, add 100 ml of alcohol and 100 ml of rum.

Alcohol is diluted with water and other ingredients to produce vodka. Self-cooking the drink practically does not differ from factory technologies.

The advantage of this cooking procedure is that you control everything yourself.

And therefore, you will be sure that you will prepare a normal product, with or without, according to your taste, various additives and without the risk of getting poisoned with fired vodka. How to properly dilute alcohol and there will be a speech in the article.

Preparation of ingredients

Alcohol

The preparation of vodka from alcohol by dilution in water is called the "cold method" by the technologists. This operation is often used at distilleries. The technology is proven, proven, economical. Dilution results in a high quality food product with a well-known intoxicating effect.

In this process, the main thing is to follow the step-by-step order of mixing all the ingredients. But first you need to prepare them. We choose alcohol from the list below:

• 96.5% - extra;
• 96.3% - luxury;
• 96.2% - high purity;
• 96% - first grade;
• medical;
• anhydrous.

The best quality alcohol is a product labeled "Lux". And the worst option (for lack of a better one) is the highest purity alcohol. (Don't be surprised - it's true, one hundredth of a percent is very important!)

Water

After choosing the main raw material, it is necessary to prepare water, in which then it will be necessary to dilute the alcohol. This component can be filtered or distilled.

Filtered can have different results, they depend on the hardness of the water and its mineral composition... And with "distillate" there are practically no options for failure (if it is really a distilled product).

It is never necessary to use tap ("zhekovsky") water without purification - you will spoil both the final product and the valuable alcohol simply transfer.

Spring water is often hard, purchased water from a supermarket also does not differ in the purity of its parameters, and we do not recommend melt water (with our ecology) at all.

(The last tip will be especially relevant not only for residents of cities, but also for suburbs, small towns and villages located next to industrial giants within up to 100 km.)

Additives

As various additives in industrial production, various acids and additives are used. Acetic and citric acid are the most popular.

Acetic for its cheapness and sugary smell, and lemon for softening hard water (even filtered water can be hard).

Sugar, aromatic essences are added to vodka, milk and honey are added in small quantities.

The use of these ingredients depends only on your taste preferences... Love "bitter", real and burning, "so that it warms up" - do not use additives. If you like the product "soft to go" - experiment, adding a little, and come up with your ideal recipe.

Alcohol dilution proportions and preparation procedure

Long ago (more than 140 years ago) it was found that the optimal proportion for mixing vodka is 2 parts of alcohol and 3 parts of water. The unit of measurement is mass. That is, to get 1 kg of vodka, you need to take 0.4 kg of alcohol and 0.6 kg of water. Applying these weight fractions, you will get the classic "40 degrees" volume of a little less than 1 liter.

It is important to understand how to properly dilute the alcohol. The mixing procedure is simple: alcohol is poured into the water. Not otherwise. Control is carried out with a hydrometer (alcohol meter). Depending on the readings of the device, add a little alcohol. (At the same time, remember about water: it is no longer possible to pour it into the mixture.)

You can use scientific tools for dilution and control - special tables. For vodka of classical strength at 40 °, you need to take 100 ml of alcohol with a strength of 90 ° and pour into a volume of water equal to 130.8 ml.

For additives, when it comes to industrial production, they make mass (volumetric) corrections. For homemade, v small volumes, you can ignore these amounts of additives.

Cleaning

After that, the finished product is defended and cleaned a little. Cleaning can be done through a cloth or paper filter. Also, after mixing, you can pour a little activated carbon into the mixture itself, and strain after aging.

To improve the quality of the finished vodka, several tablets of activated carbon are added to the product. After that, the product is kept warm for 2-4 hours in this state. The mixture is then filtered through a cloth.

Adding other ingredients

After you have successfully diluted the alcohol, the next step is the addition of additives. For softening add honey, glucose, citrus juices. If there is no experience, then add in small portions. For 1 liter, 30-40 ml of the ingredient is enough, no more. Acids are added even less - 5-10 ml per 1 liter of finished product.

Further, it is required to keep the entire composition in the dark and cold for about a week: the diluted alcohol reacts with all the components, the mixture gains the final taste. When the exposure is over, the finished vodka must be bottled. It is important to seal the bottles tightly: if this is not done, then some of the alcohol will evaporate, which will reduce the strength of the product.

At this stage, another surprise awaits you: there will be less finished vodka - some of the substance will react and form new compounds, due to which the final volume of vodka will decrease.

Note 1. A number of sources suggest that you first prepare pure vodka, without additives. Others suggest preparing the water first: pour in and stir all the additives.

Note 2. If the table is difficult to use, then there is another simple formula for diluting 96% alcohol: 1 liter of alcohol needs to be added to 1.4 liters of water to get a 40 ° drink.

Note 3. The temperature of the ingredients is important for making vodka. It is enough to warm them up to 20 ° C. If you do not do this, then you can suffer with adjusting the "degrees" in strength: the difference from the standard 20 degrees (temperature) can give discrepancies in strength degrees from 1 or more for each unit of temperature.

How to dilute alcohol with water, so that you get 40 degree vodka

The recipes for making vodka in a cold way are simple, but the finished product will be of high quality, provided that there are good ingredients and precise proportions.

Lovers of homemade spirits like to dilute alcohol with water to make vodka. It is the most widespread drink in the world, and foreigners consider it a Russian attribute.

Therefore, who, if not the Russians, know the methods of making high quality vodka at home, so that it smells nice, drinks easily and warms the soul.

If you make vodka yourself, you can be sure that there are no harmful additives in it.

The main principle for making homemade alcohol is mixing alcohol with water in the required proportions. The process is simple, but it requires precision in calculations.

It is difficult to predict in advance what strength of alcohol will be purchased, and in order not to calculate each time, it is better to stock up on recommendations for different options.

Or you will have to look for a table with proportions at the last moment and choose products at random to soften the taste.

Preparation of ingredients

It is required to prepare good components, because this is the only way it works quality product... You can argue for a long time which alcohol is better - medical, extra or highly purified.

But producers of homemade alcohol have little choice, most often medical alcohol is purchased or otherwise obtained. Therefore, you need to use what is, and try to bring the final product to perfection.

The main thing is to know exactly the degree of the available raw materials, because the dilution proportions depend on this.

You need to stock up:

• alcohol;
• spring water;
• alcohol meter;
• measuring glass;
• sugar;
• citric acid;
• natural additives to soften the drink.

It is easy to dilute the alcohol for consumption, the harder it is to find good ingredients. It should be borne in mind that the taste and properties of the resulting alcohol will depend not only on the quality of the alcohol, but also on the purity and mineral composition of the water.

Water preparation

The softer the water, of which there is always more vodka than alcohol, the softer it will be ready drink... The spring is considered the best, and the water supply is not suitable due to the large amount of impurities. Therefore, knowing how to properly dilute alcohol with water is not enough. It is also necessary to prepare the liquid, while simply boiling or distilling the tap will not be enough.

Thermal preparation "kills" water, an alcoholic drink based on it will have a sharp taste, so it must be "alive" from natural sources.

If it is not possible to dilute alcohol with water from a spring, it is permissible to use tap water, passed through a filter and frozen.

When freezing, you should wait until about ¾ of the original volume turns into ice, pour out the excess, defrost the ice and use this liquid for dilution.

Alcohol dilution calculator with water

In order for homemade alcohol to have the desired degree, you should know in what proportions it is diluted. Without taking this into account, it rarely turns out so that vodka of the desired strength is obtained. Therefore, diluting alcohol, you need to use a special calculator that helps to make the correct calculation even for a person who does not know how to determine percentages, relate them to degrees and operate with fractions.

With such an assistant, knowing the strength of the available alcohol, you can easily calculate how much liquid you need to store before starting the dilution procedure.

Preparation of pure vodka with a strength of 40 degrees without additives

After carelessly diluted strong alcohol, a feeling of dryness and an unpleasant aftertaste remains in the mouth, so I want the alcohol to not only match the desired degree, but also drank lightly, without requiring an immediate snack or drinking.

Knowing how to properly dilute alcohol, you can use the cold method to make quality alcohol without even leaving home. The only condition is that there should be good feedstock and water close in quality to the spring water. And then - a matter of technology. You need to calculate the proportions and mix the ingredients correctly.

There is a common method of mixing alcohol with water up to 40 degrees: 1 liter of 96% raw material is added to 1.4 liters of liquid, resulting in a 40-degree vodka. With a different strength of the feedstock, you will have to recalculate the proportions or use ready-made data.

The table below shows the different volumes of spring water that must be mixed with 1 liter of alcohol in order to prepare an alcoholic drink with a strength of 40% by volume:

To prevent the alcohol from becoming cloudy when mixing, it must be poured into chilled water. If you pour in the opposite and take warm water at the same time, chemical compounds are formed that fix the taste and smell characteristic of alcohol in the resulting drink.

• The volume of the container should be chosen so that the resulting drink fills it right up to the neck.
• The more oxygen remains in the container, the longer the oxidation reaction will take and the top layer will turn into acetic acid.
• The container is placed in a dark place with a temperature above + 4 ° C, and there it should be at least 2 days, but the optimal holding time until the end of all chemical reactions is 7 days.

How to dilute a liter of 96 alcohol

Calculating how to dilute alcohol with water is not only necessary for making vodka. Less strong alcohol may be required. Recommended to find ready tables offering solutions for mixing and obtaining liquids of the required degree.

If the required value does not fall into the proposed ready-made range, the calculation is carried out independently, using a special formula that helps to find out how much water you need to add to 100 ml of 96% alcohol in order to obtain the composition of the desired degree:

water volume = 9600 / TC - 96, where

TC - the required strength of the solution in degrees.

In order not to make calculations every time, the results can be calculated and collected in a table showing how much water needs to be added in order for the diluted 96-degree alcohol to acquire the desired concentration:

Ingredients to soften the taste

After the procedure of mixing alcohol and water was successful, it is time to add components that soften the taste of the liquid - the residual sensation in the mouth immediately after swallowing. Vodka gourmets justifiably argue that vodkas differ in smell, taste and sensation when swallowing the drink and immediately after.

To improve the taste, additives are used that interrupt the harsh sensations during drinking and give natural aromas. When using unfamiliar ingredients, it is recommended to experiment with small amounts of alcohol. You can soften the taste of homemade vodka by slightly acidifying or sweetening it with glucose, sucrose, citric acid:

1. Citric acid is used in its pure form (2 g per 1 liter of alcohol) or replaced with the juice of a small lemon.
2. Ascorbic acid dissolves well in alcohol, therefore it is used to soften any alcoholic beverages. 3-5 g of ascorbic acid are added to 1 liter of alcoholic beverage.
3. Glucose is added at the rate of 5 g of powder or 25 ml of 40% solution per 1 liter of vodka.
4. Sugar is used only well-refined, otherwise the drink may become cloudy. Fastest to dissolve powdered sugar. Standard portion- 1 tbsp. l. without a slide for 1 liter of 40-degree vodka. You should know that sugar in vodka is not sugar in tea, in vodka the sweetness is felt more strongly. For tinting the drink part white sugar you can replace 1 tsp. burnt.
5. Fructose is 2 times sweeter than sugar, so take ½ tbsp for 1 liter of drink. l.
6. Honey is used liquid or previously melted in a water bath. The proportions are the same as for fructose - ½ tbsp. l. for 1 liter of drink.

There is no consensus on the sequence of soft vodka preparation. A number of sources recommend mixing alcohol and water first, then adding softeners. But there are also recommendations to first add softening ingredients to the water, wait for dissolution and only then increase the degree.

How to dilute alcohol with water at home

Alcohol - hard drink: Even when rubbing wounds and rubbing with undiluted alcohol, you can get burns, but in some situations it can be very useful. For example, on a hike, in nature - where, in addition to alcohol, you also need to carry a backpack with all sorts of things.

And the natural desire of everyone to reduce the weight that will have to be carried with them. In such situations, alcohol is just perfect. Alcohol is also used not only for direct dilution and drinking in this form, but for the preparation of vodka, tinctures and liqueurs at home.

However, get forty percentage alcohol not so difficult (as, indeed, any other concentration). The main thing is to do it correctly.

How to properly dilute alcohol

It would seem that it could be easier than diluting alcohol - mixed it with water - and you're done. But no. There are many nuances here.

Firstly, alcohols are different and with different strengths (first-class - 96%, with the highest purification - 96.2%, "extra" - 96.5%, "luxury" - 96.3%, medical and dry (anhydrous) ). The degree of purification of alcohol directly depends on the type. And the variety of species is associated with what exactly the alcohol is obtained from (from which grain).

Secondly, the water for breeding must be taken in the purest, completely transparent, so to speak - without color, taste and smell. In addition, it will be better if there are no salts in it.

In addition, this water must be additionally purified, filtered and softened. Ready option usually referred to as - "corrected water".

At home, for diluting alcohol, it is best to purchase distilled water at a pharmacy, but in no case take ordinary water from the tap in the kitchen.

How should alcohol be diluted with water?

Several points are important here:

First moment. When you dilute alcohol, then it is worth pouring it into the prepared water. Do not under any circumstances do the opposite!

Second point. Do not try to mix alcohol and water "by eye" - you just get swill. The ideal proportion was deduced by Mendeleev - the "father" and creator of the periodic table of chemical elements and vodka as such.

He brought out perfect proportion- 2: 3. thus, you need to take 96% alcohol in the "sizes" of two parts and water - in the "sizes" of three.

These "sizes" are best defined not by volume (two hundred milliliters to three hundred), but by weight (200 grams to 300 grams).

Third point. Shake the mixture of alcohol with water (other liquids) in a closed state, preferably turning the container upside down.

Fourth point. It is advisable to keep the diluted alcohol in the refrigerator for about a day.

How to properly dilute alcohol to 40 degrees?

The ideal proportions for diluting alcohol are indicated above, but if you need to get alcohol with a specific and precise strength - 40, 45 or 55 degrees, then the situation is somewhat more complicated.

The whole problem is that when alcohol and water interact, the volume of the mixture obtained as a result is less than the volumes of both liquids separately. That is, by mixing 2 glasses of alcohol and three glasses of water, you will not get five glasses of their mixture. The volume will be smaller.

However, this problem is completely solvable. To obtain alcohol of the desired strength when breeding, you just need to use the Fertman table. This is a special table where all required proportions for the most accurate dilution of alcohol.

How to quickly dilute alcohol

Sometimes there is a situation when there is simply no time for the obligatory settling of vodka made from alcohol. Then will come to the rescue quick recipe dilution of alcohol, and the mixture obtained as a result will be quite pleasant to the taste (in any case, not disgusting).

To do this, you will need everything - nothing: freshly squeezed juice from half an orange or lemon, 96% alcohol - 200 grams and water - 300 grams (you can take a 2: 3 ratio in milliliters).

Cooking is elementary - the listed components are mixed, shaken vigorously and cooled well.

Citrus juice will kill the alcoholic aftertaste, and the vitamin C it contains will help prevent morning hangovers and headaches from drinking.

To all of the above, you can add only that alcohol can be diluted not only with water. For this purpose, everyone can use the recipes they like. As "diluents" can be, for example:

• 10% glucose solution in a 1: 1 ratio
• citrus juice, cherry, raspberry, apple, cranberry juice, tea or coffee, soft drinks or tonics (proportions 2: 3, as with water)
• beer and champagne - all components 1: 1: 1 (the mixture, I think, is not for the faint of heart, but it's better to keep silent about the morning)

Among the options for how can alcohol be diluted we didn’t indicate the extreme ones, such as a mixture of alcohol with condensed milk and other, in our opinion, products that are poorly compatible with alcohol.

In principle, drinking alcohol is not harmful, and you can experiment with it endlessly, you just have to remember about the acceptable doses in which the body can perceive it.

How to properly dilute ethyl alcohol with water to make vodka, at home: table. How to dilute alcohol into medical vodka, cognac, ethyl 96, 70 percent to 40 degrees? How to dilute ethyl alcohol with juice: proportions

It's easy to get delicious soft vodka from alcohol at home. You just need to take high-quality purified alcohol and water, and follow some rules for diluting alcohol with water.

When diluting alcohol with water, obtain quality vodka you can even at home. At the same time, the taste, smell and strength will be identical to the products. industrial production... To obtain such a result, it is necessary to observe technology and proportions.

How to properly dilute ethyl alcohol with water to make vodka at home: calculator table, formula

The process of diluting alcohol with water is called the "cold" method of converting alcohol into vodka. Sometimes this method is even used in the production of alcoholic beverages. At home, you can also get a high-quality vodka product, but the mixing technology must be strictly observed.

Choosing alcohol

Ethyl alcohol differs in the degree of purification:

• alpha - from 96.3%, produced exclusively from conditional grain: wheat, rye.
• extra - from 96.3%,
• luxury - from 96.3%.

For the production of varieties of alcohol extra, deluxe, a mixture of grain and potatoes is used. Extra variety contains up to 35% starch.

• highest purification - from 96.2%,
• first grade - from 96.0%,
• basis - from 96.0%.

For the production of these varieties, any food raw material is used.

The base variety contains about 60% starch. Without additional post-treatment, vodka from it is not tasty. But if you add manganese to it, and after precipitation of the precipitate, filter through a carbon filter, then the quality of the product will improve.

Alcoholic beverages are not produced from first grade alcohol.

How cleaner alcohol, the more pleasant the vodka made from it

Choosing water

Much depends on the quality, taste and degree of water purification. Do not take ordinary tap water that has not undergone additional purification. It contains too many different impurities, salts, which will not allow making a tasty, high-quality drink. The best choice will:

• tap water, after multi-stage purification;
• bottled water, with a minimum salt content. The softer the water, the softer the final product will be;
• spring water is considered an ideal option, difficult to perform in an urban environment. But spring water can be too hard.

You can use distilled water, but such water dissolves alcohol worse, and the taste is somewhat "medical".

When mixing alcohol with water, a ratio of 2: 3 is usually used, i.e. Dilute 2 parts of alcohol with 3 parts of water. Even Mendeleev considered this combination to be universal.

Interesting... Sometimes it is advised to measure components not by volume, but by weight. But it is worth remembering that alcohol is lighter than water: 1 liter of ethyl alcohol weighs 790 g. when measuring components by weight, the strength of the final product will be higher.

For a more accurate result, you can use the formula:

where x is the amount of water required to dilute the alcohol to the desired concentration, ml; M is the required strength of the alcohol solution,%; P is the volume of available alcohol, ml;

N - initial alcohol strength,%.

For example, from 96% alcohol, you need to get 40% vodka. Alcohol volume - 1 liter (1000 ml):

Those. in 1400 ml of water it is necessary to pour 1000 ml of alcohol.

You can also use the Fertman table, which contains various combinations of the initial and final solution.

Having chosen the strength of the starting material and the strength of the final product, we find out the amount of water in ml, which must be added to 100 ml of alcohol

Important... Always add alcohol to water to avoid cloudy alcohol. Water must be taken chilled, otherwise the final product will have a taste and smell characteristic of alcohol, and not for vodka.

How to dilute alcohol into medical vodka, cognac, ethyl 96, 70 percent to 40 degrees?

• Rubbing alcohol obtained from ethyl, by purifying ethanol and adding water to it, about 4%. Rubbing alcohol is the most pure product... Its strength usually varies between 96.4-96.7%. Important. Medical alcohol is an antidote for poisoning with methanol, ethylene glycol, if drunk before or immediately after the use of these toxic substances.
• The strength of ethyl alcohol, which is recommended for making vodka at home, may vary. The main thing is that ethanol is food grade, not technically. Edible ethyl alcohol is produced from food raw materials, while technical alcohol is made from synthetic materials.
• Cognac alcohol is alcohol obtained from grape juice(mostly white grape varieties), after two stages of distillation. Its strength is 68-72%. Cognac spirit turns into cognac in oak barrels, where it is kept for a certain time, but not more than 70 years, since after that the strength, taste and aroma characteristics do not change.

Before starting the process of preparing a drink from alcohol, it is necessary to establish the strength of the alcohol. To do this, use a hydrometer.

1. To obtain 40% of the product from 96% alcohol, you can use the ratio of alcohol and water: 1: 1.4. If any additives are used: syrup, honey, juice, then they try to keep the total final amount of liquid within 1.4 liters per 1 liter of alcohol.
2. If there is alcohol with a strength of 70%, then you can get a 40% drink from it if you combine 100 ml of alcohol with 77.6 ml of water.

Important. If the alcohol is already poured into the water, then you cannot add water to it - the alcohol will become cloudy, the product will be spoiled. You can try to save this situation by passing the liquid through activated carbon. The result will be even better if the activated carbon is crushed, poured into an alcohol solution, kept for several days and then filtered.

If the technology is followed, the drink will turn out to be crystal clear.

What is the best way to dilute ethyl alcohol for drinking to make it tasty?

For a tasty and high-quality drink, except for refined delicious water would need:

• glucose;
• sugar syrup: 1 liter of water / 1 kg of sugar. The syrup is cooked over low heat until the end of the foam, which is removed;
• various juices;
• milk;
• lemon acid;
• dried lemon peel;
• pepper;
• various roots;
• Tea coffee;
• lemonade;
• berries;
• herbs.

These ingredients are added in small amounts. On average, 30-40 ml of supplements is sufficient for 1 liter of solution. 5-10 ml of citric acid is added. Dry matter is put 5-40g, depending on the desired result.

Algorithm for preparing a delicious drink:

1. We prepare ingredients: alcohol, water, additives. For the accuracy of measuring the strength, the temperature of the components should be about 20 ° C. If the water is warm, then the drink will have an alcoholic taste, not vodka.
2. Add alcohol to the water in appropriate proportions.
3. We add various flavors.
4. Mix everything thoroughly. This is done to dissolve all substances more quickly. If the container can be closed tightly, then you can shake everything.
5. Add crushed activated carbon tablets to the solution. For 2.5 liters of solution - 3-10 coal tablets. We give it to infuse: from several hours to a day at room temperature, optimally - 22 ° C.
6. Filtering. The filter can be fabric, paper, gauze with cotton wool.
7. We bottle it. Bottles must be filled to the neck so that the alcohol does not evaporate.
8. Let the drink settle for several days.

Important... It is necessary to store and prepare the product only in glass containers, plastic is contraindicated.

Citrus cocktails are popular

How to dilute ethyl alcohol with juice: proportions

When preparing vodka with such a “cold” method, alcohol can be diluted not only with water, but also with juice. This produces delicious cocktails.

1. The Screwdriver cocktail is a mixture of orange juice (2.5 parts) and alcohol (1 part). Add a slice of lemon, ice cubes and the drink is ready.
2. "Bloody Mary" - combination tomato juice(2 parts) and alcohol (1 part) with the addition of salt, pepper, lemon juice. Although it can be limited exclusively to juice and alcohol.
3. Cranberry cocktail - a 2: 1 combination of juice and alcohol. The drink has some astringency.
4. Apple cocktail - juice and alcohol are mixed in a ratio of 3: 1. Green apple juice works best.
5. When making a cherry cocktail for 1 part of vodka, it is allowed to take 2 or 3 parts of vodka. The sweetness of the drink depends on the type of cherry.
6. For a pomegranate alcoholic drink, a 3: 1 ratio is suitable, where 1 part of alcohol is added to 3 parts of juice.
7. The grapefruit cocktail has a sweetish flavor. Its proportion is the same as that of pomegranate: 3: 1.

Focusing on these proportions, you can combine alcohol with any other juice.

Lemon vodka

How to make lemon vodka at home from ethyl alcohol: a recipe

Lemon vodka has a bright aroma, taste and long-lasting citrus aftertaste.

Ingredients:

1. Alcoholic basis: regular vodka, ethyl alcohol mixed with water, high quality moonshine.
2. Sugar (honey) - up to 2 tablespoons. This ingredient softens the drink, but you do not need to put it in.
3. Lemon - 2 pieces.

Preparation:

1. Scald lemons with boiling water, then rinse thoroughly warm water... Remove the zest without touching the white rind to avoid the bitterness of the drink.
2. Squeeze juice from lemons. The juice should be squeezed out carefully so that as little pulp as possible gets into the juice.
3. Put the zest, sugar (glucose, honey) in a glass jar, pour in the juice and, last of all, the alcoholic component. If regular store vodka is used, then to increase the strength finished product, add alcohol.
4. Mix everything thoroughly, close the jar, put in a warm place for 24-48 hours. It is advisable to shake the vodka 4-6 times during this time.
5. Filter the drink through cotton wool, paper filter, pour into bottles, you can drink.

Important. When sediment appears, turbidity - filter through cheesecloth.

How much ethyl alcohol is needed for 1 liter of vodka?

When water and alcohol combine, a chemical reaction occurs that absorbs part of the liquid. Therefore, to obtain 1 liter of the finished product, the total amount of the original ingredients must be taken more than 1 liter.

• To obtain 40% vodka, 421 ml of alcohol is added to 607 ml of water.
• To obtain 60% vodka, 632 ml of alcohol is added to 397 ml of water.

What kind of water is used to dilute alcohol: raw or boiled?

• In general, it does not matter - boiled or raw water, if the water is of good quality, does not have impurities and a large amount of salts. If the water is tap water, then it is advisable to boil it, and then at least pass it through a filter jug. But it is better to subject it to three or more stages of cleaning.
• If the water is spring water, it depends on the degree of its hardness.
• Bottled water is optimal for urban conditions. There is no need to boil or filter it. The main thing is that the water is not too mineralized.

Can alcohol be diluted, mixed with sparkling or distilled water?

• Although it is written everywhere that distilled water cannot be used for drinking, alcohol is diluted with distillate quite often. The main harm of distilled water is the absence of the bulk of nutrients in it, which contributes to the leaching, rather than saturation of nutrients in the body.
• Distilled water has unpleasant odor and a specific taste, so it should not be used. There are no other restrictions for diluting alcohol with it. Although, if a person does not have a particularly sensitive taste, then he may not feel it. But some fans, on the contrary, prefer to use exclusively distilled water, because without additional additives, vodka with it turns out to be softer and more pleasant.
• Alcohol is not diluted with sparkling water, desired effect- delicious have a nice drink not to achieve. Carbon dioxide increases the absorption of alcohol, irritates the walls of the stomach. In order to accelerate the absorption of alcohol, it is better to simply wash down the finished vodka with a carbonated drink.

Enjoy the taste!

How long does the reaction of ethyl alcohol with water take, after how long can you drink diluted alcohol?

• You can drink diluted alcohol immediately after mixing, only the taste will not be complete yet. It is still advisable to withstand the drink for 1-2 days. During this period, all the elements have not yet dissolved, but the main work will have already been done.
• The reaction of alcohol with water lasts about 7 days, this is how much it is usually recommended to insist vodka before drinking. Some recipes recommend infusing for 14 days.
