Certified Organic Neutral Grape Alcohol

Natural Grape Alcohol

Alchemical Solutions' 190 proof neutral organic grape alcohol is made from certified organic wine produced near Hopland California.

"Grape sugars are unique, and because of their unique actions, grape alcohol does a superior job of extracting medicinal plant constituents. In addition, organic grape alcohol is hypo-allergenic and guaranteed 100% free of genetic modification."  - Gail Edwards, Herbalist

Our small scale, batch method of production allows us to maintain the utmost level of quality and attention to detail, while at the same time adhering to environmentally sound practices. Our Spirits are double distilled in stainless steel and double filtered to assure our customers the highest level of purity.

Our spirits are periodically tested by an independent lab to insure that they meet USP (United States Pharmacopeia) standards. Not all pure alcohol is pharmaceutical grade; only 190 proof and 200 proof pure ethanol, which meets or exceeds the stringent standards of the USP.

Production Process - Organic Neutral Grape Spirits:

  1. We begin with a supply of fresh, certified organic wine with 12 percent alcohol processed by a certified vintner from certified organic grown grapes.
  2. We quickly distill 325 to 400 gallons of this wine in our stainless steel still with a yield of approximately 50-gallons of 120 Proof alcohol in an 8-hour shift. Note: The natural distillation process, or run, starts with the heads. The very first heads are discarded because of their high fusel content. The heads gradually give way to highest yielding portion of the run, the hearts. Approximately 60-70 percent of the run, measured in proof gallons, is made up of the hearts. Eventually, the yield slows and the proof drops; the remainder of the run is the lower proof tails. The art of distillation is in managing the collection and redistillation of these three portions of the typical run.
  3. We then carefully redistill up to 375 gallons of 120 proof, first run, to yield 40 to 70 gallons per shift of what we are looking for, 190 proof Neutral Spirits.
  4. Before the 190 proof Neutral Spirits are collected from the hearts during the redistillation run, we collect the lower proof heads after discarding the fusel rich portion and add them to the subsequent tails for further redistillation.
  5. Our Organic Neutral Grape Spirits exceed the TTB standards as a consumable Industrial Grade Alcohol, but we prefer a smoother, Pharmaceutical Grade product. We achieve this by using a mixed bed de-ionization filter.
  6. We further purify our product by using a 0.2 micron solids filter to remove any residue. Note: this is the same size filter that is used in the medical laboratories to purify water to be used in their blood tests.
