got the results from the lab today for my vodka :
acid (acid acetic equivalent ) :6 mg/L
Ester: 220 mg/L Max limit allowed : 200
Ethanol: 38,2 %ABV
Aldehydes: 188 mg/L Max allowed : 50
Methanol :0,03 mg/L Max allowed : 0,1
Propanol:204 mg/L
isobutanol: 481 mg/L
isoamylic: 1154 mg/L
furfurol: 5 mg/L (they say it's too much only "traces" allowed)
Conclusion : Does not pass
The samples were stored in plastic bottles (used for spring water) for 6 days before testing. Any idea of wether this could influence which result ?
For Ester I could remove it by adding NaOH just before distill, for aldehydes it seems I do have heads even though i though I didnt.
Any of you guys ever had your booze analyzed ?
vodka lab analysis results : I'm pissed
