Hey I'm new here
and I just made my first bottle of apple jack with partial freezing.
So now, I was wondering is there a way to reduce the methanol in the drink, I know it shouldnt do any harm in those small amounts butt i want to make sure.
So I thought maybe since methanol has a boiling point of 64.7°C (148.5°F) and Ethanol a boiling point of 78.37° C (173.1° F) I could just heat it to around 70° C or like 160° F.
Would this take away the methanol but leave the ethanol?
Has anyone experience with this or knows a other way to reduce the methanol without distilling it?
Thank you!

Jacob
