unless you had pure ethanol it wont boil or have vapors at 173.4f.
if this was boiler temp,it would be about 56%
if it was vapor temp then about 86%

Re: New to the site - boiling point
alcohol boils at 78.3c/173.4f,500-1000ft will make little difference.
its not so much the altitude as its the barometric pressure that changes the boiling point.

Re: Banana recipes?
bananas are 25-27% sugar if fully ripe otherwise its starch .
so unless there "mushy" ripe, I thank they mite benefit from some enzymes.
this could help the 'clearing' problem also.
