What's the difference between Food Grade Ethanol and Perfumers Alcohol from CulinarySolvent.com?
Answer: there is zero difference, the two products (Perfumers Alcohol and Food Grade Ethanol) are identical in every way, shape, and form, including the price, label, recipe, production method, and loving care applied while making and packing it up for safe shipment.
Why have different product listings if they are the same thing? We have separate listings because some people seek out specific products to fit their specific needs and shoving all of the words that pure food grade ethanol can do onto one product listing was causing confusion on both the search engine side and the customer side. Did you know you food grade ethanol makes an awesome shellac for the finest French polish finish you could hope to ask for? Also good for killing mites on bees, extracting CBD from hemp, restoring dry permanent markers, and a for creating safe effective hand sanitizer...just to name a few uses.
If so many uses for food grade ethanol, why only 2 categories? We tried more, but it added even more confusion vs saving it, so we reverted back to 2 categories and here we are.
What about organic? Yes, our certified organic products are different from our regular products, but only at the level of how the corn was treated on the field. After harvest (using approved and regulated methods and practices approved by the USDA), the process of turning organic corn into organic food grade ethanol is the same as if the corn was not certified organic. Products that are certified as organic must maintain a strict chain of custody traceability back to the original source, and including separate equipment or approved processes to ensure that no mingling of organic and "non-organic" products ever occur. These additional measures are the reason for the added costs associated with USDA Organic products vs the regular ones.
