I've made some 85% alcohol (tested with a hydrometer), and it's much more reactive than normal booze. If you mix tequila with lemon juice, it will take a few hours before you get esters happening. My booze is fast; it starts forming esters within 10 minutes, and it's hard to drink a whole margarita in 10 minutes without slamming it. When esterification starts happening, is my booze essentially gone forever or will it break down into usable alcohol after I eat/drink it?
