Everclear alcohol has always held mysterious aura about it. ... Perhaps it is because it’s the strongest alcohol that is deemed safe enough to be consumed by humans. Everclear is 190 proof, meaning 95% alcohol by volume. It is manufactured by the distillation of ethanol alcohol, which that is produced from the fermentation of sugars found in yeasts, corn, wheat, potatoes, and other products. It is possible to make “absolute”, or a 200 proof alcohol, but it would require synthesis or other dehydrating agents to do so. “Absolute” alcohol is unsafe for consumption and is used for scientific and other purposes. The government makes it difficult to obtain this without a specific purpose, yet the public, in certain states that have allowed it, can purchase Everclear. ... When ethanol is formed by fermentation, it contains 14% alcohol at most. ... This increases the percentage of alcohol by volume. ... To purify the ethanol alcohol collected, repeat the distillation process twice more, adding a liter of distilled water to the mixture each time.
