It made some of the worst liquor I've ever had. But in the end, it got me fairly drunk, so I would call it a success.

When was undergrad? That could be 2 or 60 years. You could be 113 years old.

Like a few years ago. I am actually 113 years old though.

See I knew something was up. Nothing wrong with learning as a century old organism.

Man, I supervised lab time for bio/chem babies in undergrad and your glassware makes me realize that I missed out on so many potential shenanigans.

Neat idea.

Who is u/poopsmith? When did u/poopsmith at least attempt college. Come with me, and let’s find out.

This looks illegal. If you told me you were making meth in this I would believe you. That’s how dumb I am.

That's smart, using a sous vide to get to the exact evaporation point of the ethanol. Color me impressed.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I was confused about that at first, then it clicked right before I read your comment. Like duh, a stovetop boiler would just boil everything whereas sous vide allows you to only boil the alcohol.

Bruh. Just dilute HPLC grade absolute ethanol with fruit juice. Why reinvent the wheel?

Mmmm... Chefs kiss! Add a dash of some nanopure water and whatever is in the cabinet of 50 year old unquenched reagents.

How the fuck are you supposed to eat the chili now??? This is egregiously shortsighted.

@kevin Did you boil the methanol off first?
