Here’s where YouTube gets dangerous. People love the idea of freezing a bottle of cheap beer, then pouring off the unfrozen alcohol to get something stronger. It’s called “fractional freezing” or “ice beer.” And back in the day, colonial farmers used this trick—called “jacking” for applejack—to concentrate booze.
But modern science says: please don’t try this at home unless you like regulatory fines. The process doesn’t separate alcohol cleanly, and you can end up concentrating nasty byproducts. Plus, your neighbors will judge you for the mess in your freezer. Stick to buying the good stuff.
