Discussion – Spirits, Essential Oils, Vinegar

actually, modern distillate analysis shows that distillation of fruit mashes is a very complex procedure;and the law "the first to come out is the one with the lower boiling point" does not apply. In the case of methanol, to be correct, a particularity in chemical properties of this substance, produces the effect that this substance is actually more difficult to separate from water than alcohol. This means that, in the contrary of what most people believes, the excess of methanol is actually a tail product, rather than a head product (but methanol is product during the entire proccess).
