What proof do you think 80 proof will become after it is distilled? And can you distill it twice

And how are you feeling Sir?

You can send the alcohol through the still as many times as you like, but the distilling forums say that for safety it should never be higher than 80 proof. Having said this, I (we) do send 185-190 proof through when making the oil, but technically that's a bit different (still more dangerous though).

The spirit that comes out at the end will depend on how you run your still - you should be able to turn 80 proof into ~185 proof, but obviously there will be significantly less than what you started out with.

I think some people run their spirit through the still a couple of times to get rid of any off tastes it they're present from the fermenting stage.
