It is available in 190 proof (95% alcohol) and 151 proof (75.5% alcohol) varieties.
Some liquors that are 100 proof or higher include bourbon, rum, gin, vodka, and tequila. It's important to check the label for the exact proof of the specific brand you are interested in.
Alcohol is measured in proof. 100% proof whiskey is 50% alcohol. Everclear is 95% alcohol.
Add 5% water
To calculate the proof number of the solution, you need to know the percentage of alcohol in the ethyl alcohol used. If the ethyl alcohol is 95% alcohol by volume, you would calculate the proof number using the formula: proof = 2 * (% alcohol by volume). For example, if the ethyl alcohol is 95% alcohol by volume, the proof number would be 190.
You mix the pure alcohol with something else, for example, water.
A good candidate would be Everclear, which is 190 proof or 95% pure alcohol.
95 ml of ethyl alcohol to 5 ml of water
To prepare 1000 ml of 70% alcohol solution, you would need to mix 700 ml of 95% alcohol with 300 ml of water. Starting with a base of 95% alcohol ensures that the final solution will be at least 70% alcohol.
40 to 50% or 80 to about 95 proof.
Everclear***Everclear is actually 190-proof (95%) Believe me, I have had a lot and always pick up a bottle when I am visiting in SCEverclear, a 180-proof (90 percent ethanol) distilled spirit.Technically, the strongest possible is 200-proof (by American standards) grain alcohol. It is 100% ethanol and is usually made by moonshiners in refraction stills.I dont remember the name but theres a drink that is only leagaly sold in Poland that is close to 100% pure ethanol!!!
95% means 95ml of every 100 is alcohol. So the answer is 228ml (take away 1/20, i.e. 12ml)
