frezing works well if you have a small still or limited space and plenty of frezzer room. I prefer now that I can to run the entire batch. digging ice is messy and cold.horibly messy if your contaner splits or spills
but hey try it you may find it works great for you.
have fun; BE SAFE

I cant help but to believe there would still be a noticeable difference in final product ...I dont see how the separation could be that good..

Just do an experiment. Split your next wash in half. Freeze distill one and run the other. Then compare the two.

I think you would waste a certain amount of ethanol using this method. A small amount would end up trapped within the ice crystals.
