Medical alcohol and vodka are fortified drinks that are used for various purposes. Unfortunately, they are not always pure and often contain various harmful substances. human body impurities and additives. Therefore, before using them, it is important to know how you can purify vodka at home without using any complex technological processes or other alcoholic drinks.

Scientific research has proven that the quality of any alcoholic drink prepared at home depends on its strength. It is believed that the lower the temperature of a homemade drink, the purer it is. When using medical alcohol, it is always diluted with filtered water so that the hydrometer readings are no more than 42 degrees.

When people make their own moonshine, vodka, tincture or balm at home, very often finished products has an unpleasant odor, taste or cloudy color. To avoid such consequences, you need to know the methods for purifying alcoholic beverages.

For example, you can purify medical alcohol at home in many ways, which are also suitable for cleaning homemade or store-bought vodka. Moreover, such methods are very simple and do not require any additional or complex equipment. The fastest and most elementary way: use paper to make a funnel and put cotton wool in the hole. Then very slowly drive the vodka through this homemade device.

Alcohol and vodka are widely used in everyday life for various purposes. In medical practice, medicinal balms, rubs or tinctures are prepared from them. They are also used to supplement festive feasts, as they form the basis of many cognacs and other drinks. Therefore, it is very important to use only a high-quality product that does not contain any foreign impurities or harmful substances.

At home, regardless of the ingredients used in the preparation of vodka or moonshine, impurities often remain that spoil the taste or smell of the product. It becomes unsuitable for further use. Therefore, many home methods, after the drink is fully prepared, are based on mandatory cleansing.

Potassium permanganate or potassium permanganate can be purchased through the pharmacy chain. With its help, they carry out a fairly quick and effective cleaning alcohol at home. This method will also help soften the taste and remove unpleasant odors from homemade vodka.

Cleaning technology:

1. For 1 liter of any alcoholic drink you will need only 2 grams of potassium permanganate. You need to mix the ingredients.
2. Let the solution sit for 20 hours. That is, you need to wait for a precipitate to form. Depending on the quality of the vodka or alcohol, this time may be reduced. If the vodka has few impurities, then most likely it will only take 10 or 12 hours.
3. After a precipitate forms, the solution is filtered.

This process can be carried out in the simplest way using a homemade paper funnel and cotton wool. It can also be made from a plastic bottle, the bottom of which has been pre-cut. The best option considered to be paper towels folded in several layers.

Cleaning baking soda- a fairly common method. This method can remove many harmful impurities from the drink and remove the unpleasant odor.

Cleansing technique:

For filtration, you can use a homemade filter made of paper and cotton wool or a layer of fine cold charcoal.

Purifying vodka with potassium permanganate or soda is quite quick and simple ways. However, no less popular is the cleaning method chicken egg, which can be replaced with milk. These products enter into chemical reactions with alcohol, as a result of which they coagulate.

Step-by-step cleansing process:

1. For 1 liter of moonshine you will need two eggs. First you need to separate the yolks from the whites. To cleanse, you only need whites, which must be beaten until foam forms.
2. This protein foam is poured into moonshine (vodka, alcohol).
3. Stir.
4. The drink is allowed to settle for 2 or 3 hours, and then the liquid is drained. There should be some sediment left at the bottom of the dish.
5. Filtered.

Similarly, milk is used, which also reacts and curdles, forming a sediment. This method allows you to remove harmful impurities from alcohol-containing drinks. Milk or protein draws them in and acts as sorbents.

Technology with black bread

This method of purifying vodka at home is also very effective, but few people know about it. It is very simple and allows you to get rid of harmful impurities and fusel oils that are in the drink.

Before purifying vodka with black bread, you must first use another purification method, for example, using potassium permanganate or chicken protein.

Cleansing with black bread:

1. Place a small piece of black bread in a container with vodka for several hours.
2. After the composition has infused, the liquid must be drained.
3. Filter the drink.

This method will not only help get rid of fusel oils, but also improve the taste and aroma of the alcohol-containing drink. And if you use well-fried rye crusts or slightly burnt pieces of black bread, the vodka will additionally acquire a golden color.

Another great way to help rid your drink of fusel impurities. It does not require any special tools or equipment. This technique involves using low temperatures, that is, vodka can be purified by freezing. As a result of freezing, impurities that are in the drink form sediment on the walls and bottom of the container. Moreover, the alcohol itself is not frozen and remains unchanged.

The technology is very simple: the container with the drink is frozen, and then it is poured into a clean container. It is necessary to wait several hours so that the freezing process is complete and all the impurities are transformed into ice.

Important! Freezing should be carried out at a temperature of minus 30 degrees Celsius.

The second method: the drink that needs to be cleaned is poured into a bag and placed in the freezer for 4 or 5 hours. As soon as the time is up, take it out, make a hole in the bag and drain the liquid. Ice with harmful impurities is thrown away. The advantages of freezing: the alcohol-containing drink is purified and becomes stronger in degrees. Cons - its volume is slightly reduced.

This technology allows you to make the drink not only cleaner, but also makes it transparent. It also gains degrees and becomes stronger. Another advantage is the speed of such cleaning, since freezing takes a maximum of only 5 hours.

Vodka or alcohol can be purified using activated carbon. Any absorbent substances always bind harmful impurities together and absorb them. This technique allows for cleansing not only of the human body, where it is most often used, but also of alcohol-containing drinks.

Activated carbon is considered one of the most common and popular sorbents. It is very cheap and is sold in any pharmacy, so there is no problem buying it and using it in the future for cleansing. Coal is used to remove bluish oils and other harmful substances and impurities. Activated carbon is sold in tablets, and Enterosgel can also be used as a substitute.

Applications of activated carbon:

1. The tablets are poured into a container and crushed to a powder.
2. Then they need to be filled with vodka at the rate of 50 g of tablets per 1 liter of drink.
3. The mixture must be infused for 6-7 days and the composition must be shaken and stirred periodically.
4. At the end of the period, it must be strained and filtered.

Important! To improve the result and obtain a product with good characteristics, it is advisable to repeat this process two or even three times. Activated carbon must be constantly changed with each cleansing.

In the old days, in many countries, alcoholic drinks were purified using the most different ways. Depending on the region of residence, certain plants and devices were used. In Rus', violet roots were used to remove the unpleasant smell of moonshine and its taste. They had to be mixed with one spoon of candied honey per 1 liter of liquid. Later, people began to use sugar instead of honey. This drink was put in a dark place and infused for 15 hours, and then it was passed through several layers of cotton fabric.

The second most popular method was the method of purifying alcoholic beverages using sand and coal. Cold (cooled) coals were finely ground. The river sand was first washed in clean water and thoroughly listened to, and then mixed with coals. Thus, a filter was formed through which moonshine and homemade vodka were passed. This was done slowly, in a thin stream.

There is a myth that you can purify vodka using silver. In fact, this is not true, since silver ions prevent the necessary bacteria from growing and developing. For example, moonshine is prepared from mash, and this requires fermentation of yeast. Silver prevents them from developing. Therefore, it is excellent for purifying water, but in no case should it be used in alcohol-containing drinks.

Alcohol testing

Many people believe that if the alcohol is 100 degrees, then it does not need purification. In most cases, this strength is very rarely found in any alcoholic beverages. And besides, it does not guarantee that the alcohol does not contain foreign impurities and fusel oils. Therefore, any drink that contains alcohol must be checked.

Glass or any mirror can be suitable for this. Before starting the test, the smooth surface must be thoroughly washed, first with very hot water, and then rinsed with cold water. The surface should dry naturally. Then take a few drops of vodka or alcohol and pour it onto the prepared glass. You need to wait for the liquid to completely evaporate. Conditions should be normal: room temperature, without heaters or fans. At the end of the test, there should be no traces left on the glass.

Improved taste and smell

When preparing homemade tinctures or balms, fruits, herbs and berries are often used. They improve the taste and aroma of drinks.

Here are some tips:

Every housewife wants to decorate her festive table and surprise your guests. Balms and fruit and berry tinctures, prepared with my own hands with special care, warmth and love, they will not only help decorate it, but also impart a joyful mood to the special event.

Attention, TODAY only!

The invention relates to the alcohol industry, in particular to a method for purifying ethyl alcohol from impurities. The method consists of passing ethyl alcohol through a porous sorbent selected from the range: silicon oxide, aluminum oxide, synthetic zeolite and natural zeolite, activated by an air flow at 350-460 o C, followed by cooling in an atmosphere of inert gas, an inert gas is passed through the resulting alcohol , then dilute it with water and subject to rectification to remove isopropyl alcohol impurities. As a rule, the porous sorbent is subjected to regeneration in a flow of inert gas at an elevated temperature, and nitrogen, argon, helium, carbon dioxide or any mixture thereof is used as an inert gas. The method allows you to obtain a high quality commercial product. 2 salary f-ly.

The invention relates to the alcohol industry, in particular to the development of methods for purifying ethyl alcohol to obtain a high-quality commercial product. Ethyl alcohol is important product in production alcoholic drinks. For food purposes, it is usually obtained by distilling fermented sugar-containing material such as beet molasses, sugar cane molasses or starchy substances such as potatoes and various types of cereals: rye, wheat, barley, rice, maize. The result is raw alcohol containing significant impurities of fusel oils. The most important by-products of alcoholic fermentation are acetaldehyde, acetal, glycerin, succinic acid and the so-called fusel oil, which is a mixture of butyl and amyl alcohols and their higher homologues. Succinic acid and fusel oils are formed not from sugar, but as a result of a special fermentation process of amino acids, which are obtained from the proteins of the nutrient substrate. The most common methods for purifying ethanol from impurities are azeotropic, extractive, salt rectification and membrane purification methods [V.I. Zvereva. Production of high-purity ethanol. Journal Appl. Chemistry, 1997, v. 70, issue. 7, pp. 1154-1158]. Most of the research on ethanol purification concerns the removal of a certain group of impurities, in particular methanol, aldehydes, fusel oils, etc. To remove these impurities, rectification purification of ethanol is most often used at atmospheric pressure. As a result, rectified alcohol is obtained with a significantly reduced amount of impurities. There are the following types of rectified alcohol: 1st grade, highest purification, extra, luxury, which are subject to GOST 5962-67. The alcohol must be transparent, colorless, without foreign inclusions, have the taste and smell characteristic of each type, produced from the appropriate raw materials, without the taste and smell of foreign substances. To make vodka, a water-alcohol mixture is used, composed of ethyl alcohol of a certain degree of purification and purified water, with the addition of various ingredients to enhance the smell and increase the range of taste qualities. In the production of vodka, various types of alcohol are used, including low quality ones. Currently, the ethanol purification process aims to use a simpler and cheaper method while maintaining high quality of the target product. The most common means for cleaning fusel oil has always been fresh charcoal. The latter acts mainly chemically, oxidizing alcohols with the help of oxygen concentrated in its pores; Alcohols are thus converted into acids (also aldehydes), which form esters. Some of these esters are retained by charcoal, while some remain in purified alcohol, so that filtration through charcoal, while refining the taste and smell of alcohol, does not actually remove fusel oils. The patent [US 2946687, 1960] describes the use of modified and partially activated carbon from heavy woods. The water-alcohol mixture is treated with activated carbon for cleaning purposes. However, the purpose of cleaning is not achieved, since the oxygen contained in the pores of activated carbon oxidizes methanol, propyl, butyl and amyl alcohols (fusel oil) to harmful aldehydes and esters, which remain in finished product . Despite the reduction of various impurities present in the water-alcohol mixture, bottled vodka may have a cloudy sediment through this process. The source of this precipitate is the activated carbon used, which contains polyvalent cations of calcium and magnesium. There is a known method for purifying ethyl alcohol by pre-treating concentrated ethyl alcohol with sodium borohydride, passing it through activated carbon and isolating the purified alcohol by rectification [RF Patent 2046787, C 07 C 31/08, 10.27.95]. The use of this method increases the efficiency of using activated carbon, reduces losses of the target product and makes it possible to obtain high-purity ethyl alcohol, suitable for optical measurements. There is a known method for purifying a water-ethanol mixture on activated carbon using ultra-low temperatures from -45 to -22 o C at the first stage of processing and from -22 to 5 o C at the second stage in order to minimize the content of unpleasant-tasting substances in vodka due to the formation so-called clathrate compounds. It is assumed that clathrate compounds formed when ethyl alcohol is mixed with water at high temperatures also capture unpalatable compounds such as acetals and hemiacetals. Once captured in the cavity of the clathrates, these unwanted compounds are no longer removed or are poorly removed by activated carbon [RF Patent 2107679, C 07 C 31/08, 03/27/98]. The closest to the claimed method is a method using activated carbon as an adsorbent [US Patent 5370891, C 12 C 3/08, 1990]. According to this method, the purification process is carried out by passing a water-alcohol mixture through three layers of activated carbon at 5-20 o C. The disadvantage of this method is the low purification efficiency and the high cost of the process, since high selectivity for the target product is achieved by the fact that Low-quality types of alcohol are used as raw materials, containing significant amounts of isopropyl alcohol, which causes a harsh taste according to organoleptic indicators. In addition, the regeneration of activated carbon in such quantities becomes economically unprofitable. All known methods do not completely eliminate the specific taste of vodka, and therefore even high-quality vodka is recommended to be consumed very chilled. Patent GB 2127011, 04.04.1984 describes a method for isolating ethyl alcohol from a mixture with organic substances, including higher branched alcohols, branched or cyclic alkanes, aromatic hydrocarbons or ethers by passing the mixture through molecular sieves. The mixture to be separated contains up to 20 wt.% ethyl alcohol. This means that all of the listed compounds are larger in size than the ethyl alcohol molecule. This is the principle of separating the mixture. Ethyl alcohol molecules are retained by a molecular sieve, while larger molecules pass through the column and are collected in a receiver. Ethyl alcohol is then removed from the molecular sieve by displacing the alcohol vapor with an inert gas when heated. This method cannot be used in the food or medical industries, since the product extracted from the molecular sieve by displacement with an inert gas during heating will be contaminated with impurities and must be subjected to a complex additional purification procedure. Foreign substances can also appear as a result of catalytic transformations of chemical compounds that occur at elevated temperatures when the molecular sieve is heated during the extraction of ethyl alcohol. The invention solves the problem of developing a method for purifying ethyl alcohol, characterized by high quality indicators of a commercial product. The problem is being solved in the following way purification of ethyl alcohol. A sorbent with a specific surface of at least 150 m 2 /g, selected from the range: silicon oxide, aluminum oxide, synthetic zeolite, natural mineral, is loaded into the reaction column, the sorbent is activated with an air flow for 2-3 hours at 420-460 o C, cooled to room temperature temperature in the flow of inert carrier gas (nitrogen, argon, helium or CO 2). A mixture of ethyl alcohol and fusel oils is passed through a column with a sorbent in an atmosphere of inert gas. After separating the initial alcohol fraction, enriched with part of the impurities (methyl alcohol, acetaldehyde, ethyl acetate), the pure ethyl alcohol fraction is collected until another part of the impurities (butyl and amyl alcohols) appears at the outlet of the adsorber. Monitoring the absence of impurities in the collected liquid is carried out chromatographically. Ethyl alcohol is collected in a container through which an inert gas is bubbled to displace traces of dissolved oxygen. The other part of the impurities (butyl and amyl alcohols and ethers) remaining on the sorbent is removed from the sorbent by displacing them with an inert gas when heated. The sorbent in the adsorption column is subjected to regeneration by heating in a flow of inert gas at elevated temperatures. The purified part of the alcohol is separated, diluted with water and subjected to rectification to remove isopropyl alcohol. The alcohols of fusel oils isolated during regeneration can be used as flavoring agents in confectionery industry. The resulting rectified alcohol has a high degree of purification and can be used in medical purposes , as well as for the preparation of vodkas of the highest quality. The difference between the proposed method and the method described in patent GB 2127011 is the use of a fundamentally different method for separating ethyl alcohol, based on the different ability of substances to be retained by a solid porous sorbent when passing a flow of liquid substances through the sorbent. The essence of the invention is illustrated by the following examples. Example 1. 33.32 g of Al 2 (SO 4) 3 9H 2 O are dissolved in 150 ml of water and added with stirring to a solution of 8.0 g of SiO 2 powder in 40.2 ml of 17.4 M NaOH solution. The resulting gel is subjected to crystallization at a temperature of 180 o C for 3 days. The resulting precipitate is filtered off, washed with distilled water, dried at 120 o C. The resulting powder with a molar ratio of SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 = 2.3 and a specific surface area of ​​150 m 2 /g is tableted and loaded into an adsorption column. Then activate with a stream of air at a temperature of 350 o C for 2 hours. Cool in a stream of inert nitrogen gas. Raw alcohol containing fusel oil impurities of 5 wt.%, supplied at a volumetric speed of 1.0 hour -1, is passed through the sorbent at room temperature. After separating the initial alcohol fraction, enriched with part of the impurities (methyl alcohol, acetaldehyde, ethyl acetate), the pure ethyl alcohol fraction is collected until another part of the impurities (butyl and amyl alcohols) appears at the outlet of the adsorber. Monitoring the absence of impurities in the collected liquid is carried out chromatographically. Ethyl alcohol is collected in a container through which nitrogen is bubbled. The sorbent in the adsorption column is subjected to regeneration by heating in a nitrogen stream at a temperature of 200 o C. After separating the purified part of the alcohol, it is diluted with water in a ratio of 1:1 and subjected to rectification. The resulting rectified alcohol complies with the requirements of GOST 5964-82. The yield of the pure fraction is 45 wt.% of the passed volume of raw alcohol. Example 2. Synthetic NaA zeolite with a molar ratio of SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 = 2.0 and a specific surface area of ​​150 m 2 /g is used as a sorbent. The process conditions are the same as in example 1, but argon is used as an inert gas. The yield of the pure fraction is 35 wt.% of the passed volume of raw alcohol containing 10 wt.% impurities. Example 3. A synthetic zeolite of the pentasil type with a molar ratio of SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 = 42.0 and a specific surface area of ​​500 m 2 /g is used as an adsorbent. The process conditions are the same as in example 1, but helium is used as an inert gas. The yield of the pure fraction is 65% of the passed volume of raw alcohol containing 5 wt.% impurities. Example 4. -Al 2 O 3 with a specific surface area of ​​180 m 2 /g is used as an adsorbent. The process conditions are the same as in example 1, but CO 2 is used as an inert gas. The yield of the pure fraction is 15% of the passed volume of raw alcohol containing 10 wt.% impurities. Example 5. SiO 2 with a specific surface area of ​​200 m 2 /g is used as an adsorbent. The process conditions are as in example 1. The yield of the pure fraction is 55% of the passed volume of raw alcohol containing 7 wt.% impurities. Example 6. A natural mineral, clinoptilolite, with a specific surface of 150 m 2 /g is used as an adsorbent. The process conditions are the same as in example 1, but a mixture containing 50 vol.% nitrogen and 50 vol.% is used as an inert gas. % CO 2 . The yield of the pure fraction is 25% of the passed volume of raw alcohol containing 20 wt.% impurities. As can be seen from the examples, the proposed method makes it possible to obtain a commercial product (ethyl alcohol) with high quality indicators and high yield.

To eliminate the specific odor and improve the taste of vodka, additional home cleaning and flavoring is used, adding a variety of fruits, berries, herbs, and various spices.
So, how do we cleanse?

To clean vodka, add 5 tablets of Karbolene (activated carbon) purchased at the pharmacy, slightly crushed into small pieces with the handle of a knife (but not crushed into powder), onto the floor of a liter bottle.
Then the bottle is closed and vigorously shaken for 2-3 minutes, while the vodka turns black. After 10 minutes, the shaking is repeated. After half an hour, you can shake the bottle again.
After this, the bottle is left completely alone in the dark for 2-3 days.
At the end of the settling, a dense black layer of activated carbon is deposited at the bottom of the bottle, and above it is the purest vodka, which is very carefully siphoned off from the sediment.
Do not try to filter the vodka to speed up the process - the filter will instantly become clogged with carbon and filtration will stop.
You must wait patiently until the coal itself completely precipitates.
The loss of vodka is about 5%, which remains at the bottom in black coal sediment. The more Karbolene you add, the greater the loss of vodka.
Vodka purified in this way is superior in purity and taste to any most expensive one.

More effective and more accessible than other methods is filtration, in which vodka passes through filters made of adsorbent substances; activated carbon is most often used in their role.
You can also strain the vodka through a vessel with charcoal or place coal directly into vodka at the rate of 50 g of coal per 1 liter of vodka. Leave the charcoal for 3 weeks, remembering to shake the container in which you are cleaning every day. After 3 weeks, filter the liquid. Now you can see for yourself by tasting that the vodka has become purer. It is better to use coal left over from the combustion of birch firewood.

You can pass vodka through household filters for purification such as “Springhead”, “Barrier”, etc.

An ancient Russian method for purifying homemade vodka:
You need to pour a little milk or egg white into the prepared vodka. These products bind fusel oils and together with them form sediment at the bottom. Carefully pour the vodka into a clean vessel and distill again. After that, put freshly baked Rye bread. The product obtained as a result of all these operations is almost pure alcohol, devoid of any impurities.

Using the same principle, vodka can be purified using potassium permanganate. Pour 2-3 g of potassium permanganate powder into a 3-liter jar and wait for a precipitate to form. Next, carefully pour the purified vodka into another container, avoiding sediment from getting into it.

Cleansing by freezing.
Place the bottle in freezer refrigerator, defrost after a while and carefully pour into a clean container, and try to prevent ice from the walls of the bottle from getting into the purified drink. The mechanism of the proposed method is not complicated: the water in vodka freezes, creating an ice crust on the inner surface of the bottle and absorbing harmful impurities, including fusel oils. Try defrosted vodka, and you will feel that its taste, and therefore its quality, has improved significantly.

Vodka flavoring
To eliminate the specific odor and improve the taste of vodka, aromatization is used by adding a variety of fruits, berries, herbs, and various spices. They are also added to the finished purified vodka, which is infused for a certain time to obtain the desired effect.
Initially, hops were used to flavor vodka and moonshine. Even in small quantities it can almost completely destroy fusel smell and taste.
Similar qualities are distinguished by Bee Honey, which is also an effective aromatic additive.
Many medicinal herbs can be used for aromatization. This vodka, in addition to its pleasant smell, also acquires medicinal properties.
If the plant infused in the same vodka is replaced from time to time with a fresh one, you will get a concentrated infusion, which can then be used to improve the taste and smell of vodka by simply adding it in small quantities.
It is most practical to infuse the flavoring with vodka in a glass container. If you need urgent aromatization (for example, before guests arrive), it is best to place the bottles in a pan of water on wooden blocks and boil for an hour. Then cool in cold water.
When making homemade vodka, flavoring can also be added to the starter. Herbs, lemon and orange peels are very appropriate here. However, the aroma is barely noticeable. To enhance it, it is better to first infuse the water used to make the mash with the flavoring you have chosen (or prepare a decoction), and then dilute the starter in this water.

Here are several recipes for vodka and moonshine with improved taste and smell.

Orange vodka
Ingredients: refined sugar, water - 1 l, vodka - 2 l, peels of 4-5 oranges.
Preparation: Boil syrup from refined sugar and water. Mix with vodka. Pour into the bottle and throw in the orange peels. Place in a place protected from light for 3-4 days. Then filter and bottle.
Varenukha
Ingredients: dried fruits (pears, apples, cherries, plums, figs), vodka, horns, honey, pepper to taste.
Preparation: rinse dried fruits and horns, pour vodka, add honey and pepper to taste. Cover the dish with a piece of bread and coat unleavened dough. Place in a very warm place for 12 hours (in the village - on a hot stove). Drink hot. You can also eat fruits.
