- goda90 11y agoI wonder if it'd require extra processing to make sure heavy metals aren't left in the ethanol or if the typical production methods already leave that stuff out.
- bradleyjg 11y agoDistillation should have no problem dealing with heavy metals. Other nasty things though are azeotropic with either water or ethanol and would have to be accounted for if you wanted to make drinkable vodka. Contaminants are less of a concern if you are looking to make fuel rather than booze.
