    Using peppers

    Just an idea and have never tried this but you could probably also order pure capsaicin (= chemical in peppers responsible for the heat). http://www.scbt.com/datasheet-3577-capsaicin.html $56 for 50 mg. Average ghost pepper has 4.3 mg, so this should give you enough for the rest of your...

    Set-up to measure ABV% of ice-concentrated beer

    Are you referring to the water-ethanol phase diagram? Don't think that would give me what I need mate. It's a good diagram to figure out how far you can go with fractional freezing though! I have a ****ty freezer so probably not very far :)

    Set-up to measure ABV% of ice-concentrated beer

    Not dumb at all! Actually, I can't really give you a rational answer. It's just that I'd like to know what the exact ABV% is (and I think that judging just by volume means your likely to be a few % off) :) Many thanks for your detailed reply!! :onestar: Quick question: isn't the pycnometer a...

    Set-up to measure ABV% of ice-concentrated beer

    Thanks for the reply! In theory that works if the method would be perfect (i.e. no beer stays behind in the ice). Unfortunately this is not the case. Especially when aiming for high ABV% with multiple iterations of freezing this is hard to avoid. For that reason I'm looking for a more exact...

    Set-up to measure ABV% of ice-concentrated beer

    Ok, just wanted to sense check something. I'm thinking of building a set-up as explained on this page: http://www.themadfermentationist.com/2009/07/testing-alcohol-content-of-ice.html It's just that I don't want to spend all the $ buying a density meter. Therefore I thought it should be...
