Blending Alcohol and Water results in an exothermic reaction resulting in a rise in temperature of the blended components. See just how much energy is released with this tool.
Even a littel bit of pressure adds up to allot of pounds per square inch. Proper distillations are done at low pressure anyway so one should never really see more than 2-4 pounds of pressure on your still.
This application will allow the user to increase the strength of a blend of alcohol by a specified amount. Used in making Port with wine and Brandy. Does not account for the shrinkage in volume as a result of blending but is roughly accurate. The instructions are by Matt Mathews and his version of the program is at the North Texas Winemakers Guild site. http://www.northtexaswinemakers.org/index.html.
