Good Beverages for Fishing, Apple Jack, and other Fermentations of Must. Fractional freezing. Fractional freezing is a process used in process engineering and chemistry to separate substances with different melting points.
It can be done by partial melting of a solid, for example in zone refining of silicon or metals, or by partial crystallization of a liquid, as in freeze distillation, also called normal freezing or progressive freezing. Partial crystallization can also be achieved by adding a dilute solvent to the mixture, and cooling and concentrating the mixture by evaporating the solvent, a process called solution crystallization.[1] Fractional freezing is generally used to produce ultra-pure solids, or to concentrate heat-sensitive liquids. Freeze distillation[edit] Eisbock beer (12% alcohol) created via freeze distillation of doppelbock beer. Barrels of beer were originally left outdoors to partially freeze, then the ice removed. The detailed situation is the subject of thermodynamics, a subdivision of physics of importance to chemistry. Purification of solids[edit] How to make Applejack. Applejack (beverage) Applejack is a strong alcoholic beverage produced from apples, popular in the American colonial period.[1] Applejack was historically made by concentrating cider, either by the traditional method of freeze distillation or by true evaporative distillation.
The term "applejack" derives from "jacking", a term for freeze distillation.[1] The modern product Laird's Applejack is not produced by jacking. That product is a blend of apple brandy and neutral spirits.[2] In New Jersey, applejack was used as currency to pay road construction crews during the colonial period. Freeze distillation is a low-infrastructure method of production compared to evaporative distillation. Rather than consume an alcoholic fruit beer, the cider harvested in the fall was often separated in the winter via freeze distillation, by leaving it outside and periodically removing the frozen chunks of ice, thus concentrating the unfrozen alcohol in the remaining liquid.
