Depending on how much ethyl alcohol (ethanol) you are attempting to dilute, the amount of water you will need to add to your ethanol will vary. For every diluting process, you will begin with a full pint, quart, or five-gallon jug of 200 proof ethanol and add water directly to it. Below is a quick reference for how much water is required, depending on your total amount of ethanol. For one pint, add 25 milliliters (ml) of water directly to the bottle of 200 proof Culinary Solvent/ethanol. For one quart, add 50 ml of water directly to the bottle of 200 proof Culinary Solvent/ethanol. For one five-gallon jug, add one liter (L) of water directly to the jug of 200 proof Culinary Solvent/ethanol. We recommend following the complete, step-by-step recipes for your diluting your ethanol, available here.
