What everyone's thoughts of washing distillate jars with iso then purging it off in vented oven
Purging iso from distillate
- Thread starter misssnokealot
- Start date
Only thing I recommend is evaporating it down a ton before throwing it in the oven and running it in the oven for a decently long time, even if you think all of the iso is gone.
A lot of people have health concerns with iso and for regulated truly legal stuff they can't even use iso, so take that as you will.

Get some 190 Ethanol = Everclear (liquor store brand). ISO have bitterants added….

I prefer ethanol as it’s safe to drink.

“The use of isopropyl alcohol for products fit for human consumption is limited. Generally, ethyl alcohol is preferred for consumable products, as it is GRAS (generally regarded as safe).”

I would have to say ethanol is preferable, but some places can be hard to get, especially at a high proof. I know in Canada it's prohibited for sale, you can get some, but super hassle and expensive. (at least when I tried to get some a few years ago, things might have changed)
I have to like prove I use it in a lab and not gonna be drinking it or something.... I mean I can do both right?

The Hazmat designation for Ethanol makes the shipping expensive, but a gallon lasts a long time. If anyone is interested I’ll find the one I used as it was the cheapest I could find at the time, buying Everclear at a liquor store is too costly.
