As YF notes, Poland might be a good source in Europe.

You can also re-distill lower proof vodka to its ~96% azeotropic balance using a single pass through a compound refuxing still. They will also process mash or sugar washes into 190 proof/96% ethanol.

A triple pass through a pot still can get you close enough to cleanup the rest with mol sieve or Drierite.

We can't get the high proof in Michigan. But Indiana has it. I believe the high proof can not be purchased in most of the US.

You can buy it online in the U.S but it's like $113-225 a gallon after the taxes and shipping depending on who you buy it from and whether you want general "lab" grade (no source) or froo froo organic made from grapes.
I looked at Best Value Vacs (I don't recommend them) and Organic Alcohol Company (good product, but overpriced IMO).

If you look up 12 posts from this post, you will see videos I posted where someone did close to that.
They used cheapo win (Carlo Rossi $10 for 4 liters of 12% ABV) and they passed it through an Air Still twice and on the second pass they claim the alcohol has an ABV of 85%.
80% ABV will dissolve cannabinoids, so there is really no need to do a third pass, especially if you are going to use the Air Still to recycle the alcohol, because this will further concentrate it, leaving you with a bit more water in your extract, which safely evaporates away.

what are you trying to do? if make concentrate .. use HIGH % iso it works THE SAME if not better... if you are trying to make infused alcohol... then do the same then re infuse your concentrate into whatever you need it for. trust me QWISO WORKS and is NO HARM to the lungs or system.

Hi!
Dont realy know if this is the right forum and if the rules allow this..
I live in Europe and its hard to find 96% alcohol here.
I have checked with customs and its legal to import everclear to my country. The Only problem is that nobody ships to EU. So my question is if any friendly soul want to help me get some. Payment by PayPal
Bye!

Highest store bought ethanol I found is 153 proof diesel.

But why use everclear when 200 proof food grade (no denatured) ethanol is widely available

Also, iso is super nasty! to use for any smoking extracts.

I dont think there's anything like that here and im quite sure Canada Post wouldnt ship it . Maybe a delivery service. Everyone i know uses ISO. Seems awful risky to me but i dont know squat about oil making.

I used to use iso, 4yrs ago before I knew better.

This is why I grow and make my own extracts. I know what's in it, and what's not in it

I was replying to the guy in Michigan who cant tine high proof ethanol
