Alcohol determination in spirits

An accurate and reliable method for the determination of the alcohol content in different spirit samples with varied alcohol concentrations is introduced in this Application Note. The Application Note presents results for the steam distillation setup of EasyDist that are in close compliance to EEC 2870/2000. The spirit samples are distilled using the distillation unit EasyDist with a glass splash protector. The alcohol content was determined after the distillation by injections in a density meter.
