{2:6}
And there were set there six Waterpots of stone, after the manner of the
purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.
{2:7}
Jesus saith unto them, Fill the Water pots with Water. And they filled them up to the brim.
{2:8}
And he smith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast.
And they bare [it. ]
{2:9}
When the ruler of the feast had tasted the Water that was made wine, and knew
not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the Water knew ;) the governor of
the feast called the bridegroom,
{2:10} And
saith unto him, Every man at the
beginning doth set forth good wine; and
when men have
well drunk, then
that which is
worse: [but] thou hast
kept the good
wine until now.
Excerpt from the Gospel
of John 2 vs 6-10, KJV (King James Version) indicating the miracle where Jesus
turned Water into wine
Dear
reader, do you want to become more like Jesus and learn how to turn Water into
wine?
Well,
read on and I’ll show you how to perform something similar to Jesus’ logic
defying trick with the help of a new Product, called Palcohol as stated in “Powdered Alcohol
approved (hiccup or hooray?)”, published April 21, 2014 4:11 PM PDT by
Chris Matyszczyk, CNET News.
Entrepreneur
and businessman Mark Phillips, an avid outdoorsman and apparent Playboy, though
it odd that Alcohol didn't exist in Powdered form. So he created the first such
product for the active outdoorsman and Playboy, dubbed Palcholol, a concentration of
"powdered" and "Alcohol as reported in “Powdered Alcohol
Coming To The US” published April 21, 2014 by Lisa Winter, I fucking Love Science.
Thus
the packaging of Palcholol,
most likely a sealed silver lined bag, has to be as such so as to prevent the absorption
of water from the atmosphere, which would make the powder lumpy and difficult
to dissolve. My concerns about taste doesn’t even cover safety, as the TTB
(U.S. Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau) merely certifies it’s
drinkable, not nutritious or even safe for consumption, something that would
involve the oversight of the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) as this is
clearly a potential Drug.
Palcohol is a great
idea – Drinkers of the Real McKoy judge of Body, Texture and Taste
For
those who believe this is going to snortable, it's not, to quote the Palcohol Website: “We have seen
comments about goofballs wanting to snort it. Don't do it! It is not a
responsible or smart way to use the product. To take precautions against this
action, we've added volume to the powder so it would take more than a half of a
cup of powder to get the equivalent of one drink up your nose. You would feel a
lot of pain for very little gain. Just use it the right way”.
So
with that possible drug use out the window, we’re left with a wonderful product
that can produce the following flavours of Alcohol once Water is added:
1.
Rum
2.
Vodka
3.
Cosmopolitan
4.
Mojito
5.
Margarita
6.
Lemon drop
Best
of all about this product, is that it's portable, allowing you to enjoy a drink
wherever and whenever, even smuggleing it into places where it wouldn't
normally be allowed. Change Water for any other flavoured chaser and you have
the ability to create any cocktail for any occasion anytime, anyplace,
anywhere. My only grouse is that there isn’t any wine flavours, possibly
because of the process used to make powdered Alcohol, which basically involves
making stable anhydrous crystals of Alcohol by dehydrating the original
product.
Having
being recently granted approval by the TTB
(U.S. Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau) to peddle his product in
the US of A legally, the only question that remains are how close to the Real
Mckoy is powdered alcohol in terms of taste, texture and body. I know that
powdered Lasco taste better than milk, and it comes in a larger variety of
flavours.
Whether
or not this will taste like the drinks it’ll replace and be as potent in terms
of alcoholic content is of greater interest to me than any negative health
effects, as by logic, alcohol is already bad for your live in liquid form!
But
unless you have a portable blender to properly mix the powder into the water,
which has to be warm, it’ll have floating lumps of powder both suspended in the
liquid as well settling at the bottom of the Glass. All these things are a turn
off as that would mean the texture would be off-putting, as nobody likes
drinking alcohol and tasting lumps of alcohol powder on the tip of their
tongue.
Then
aside from the taste is whether or not it has body i.e. thickness that ‘s akin
to the original alcohol beverage it’s supposed to taste like or is it just
really a kiddy crystalline Quench Aid or Tang with Alcohol added. It’s gotta
pass all these taste tests with the general public, otherwise it’ll end up as
just a another high-society form of Ecstasy only the noveau Reich enjoy “up in da Club” and not at general Social
Gathering.
How to make Palcohol –
Low Temperature Nitrogen Atmosphere Vacuum Evaporation
Now
as any Chemist can tell, you, direct heat to Alcohol will cause it to evaporate
first out of solution if not burst into flames. Alcohol has a boiling point
lower than any liquid it’s mixed into. However, if the process of Evaporation
is done using radiation instead of direct heat on the original product
containing the Alcohol and in a low pressure inert atmosphere of Nitrogen, you
can get the cocktail solution to “throw up” crystals of Alcohol.
This
is basically Vacuum Evaporation used by CEO of Sweetie Confectionary Patria
Kay-Aarons to extract the volatile flavours from fruits to make candy as described
in my blog
article entitled “Sweetie
Confectionery CEO Patria-Kaye Aarons to launch Jamaican Flavoured Candy - May
the Force be with the Weather Presenter as it's Cloudy with a Chance of
Meatballs”.
I
call it Low Temperature Solar Radiation Nitrogen Atmosphere Vacuum Evaporation!
Has a nice scientific ring to it! So here goes the simplified explaintion.
Alcohol
has a boiling point of 25 Degrees Celsius at STP (standard Temperature and
Pressure). Water boils at 100 Degrees Celsius at STP. But in a vacuum, Water will
boil at Room Temperature, which is 25 Degrees Celsius. Since the produce you
want is the Alcohol, you have to pre-chill the vacuum chamber to way below the
boiling point of Alcohol, roughly about -53 Degrees Celsius.
The
solution containing the Alcohol is then heated using radiation in a manner similar
to Vacuum Pyrolysis as described in my blog article
entitled “How
to upgrade your Solar Desalinator to a Solar Cooker and make a Solar Foundry
for Vacuum Pyrolysis”, instead of direct flame or electric arch in a low – pressure
atmosphere of inert Nitrogen so as to control the evaporation process and
prevent oxidation of the product.
The
more volatile Alcohol is vapourised, boiling out vigorously from the Alcohol-Water
mixture leaving behind the Water in liquid form. Once the air mixture is rich
enough in Alcohol/Nitrogen vapour, it is then siphoned off via vacuum and then
chilled to below -53 Degrees Celsius, at which point the crystals of Alcohol
will condense out of the Nitrogen/Alcohol vapor.
This
stabilized the anhydrous Alcohol in a form that won’t evaporate at room
temperature. But because of its volatile nature, it’ll feel cold to touch and
most likely be white, powdery crystals. These crystals of Alcohol cannot
survive outside of this chilled environment.
So
they are combined with crystallizing agents that binds the Alcohol under vacuum
i.e. other longer chain molecules that may be flavinoids and coloring agents
that make up a particular drink mix, possible left behind from the original
evaporation process. This is what Entrepreneur and businessman Mark Phillips
may be alluding to when he said “we've added volume to the powder”.
That
would definitely make snorting anhydrous crystals of Alcohol resulting in
painful nasal bleeding and sinus problems due to the long chain hydrocarbons
not being so easily absorbed through the normally absorbent cells of the Nasal
cavity.
If
it wasn’t scary enough that E-Cigarettes can possibly give you lung Cancer as
reported in my blog
article entitled “Boston
University Study indicates E-Cigarettes can cause Lung Cancer - Carcinogenic
Second Hand Vapour-Nicotine Aerosol as Marijuana E-Cigarettes Light up” now
come a new phenomenon: Powdered Alcohol Snorting!
As
for me, I’m waiting until they make powdered Red Stripe or even Red Sorbet
Wine, as this sounds like an expensive product initially due to its
portability. If it does pass FDA approval, expect prices to gradually do down
due to the fact that the packaging is cheaper than a glass bottle.
It’ll
get faster Distribution if they team up with SodaStream or even the makers of
the Keurig Cold to distribute it with their Soda Maker as explained in my blog article
entitled “Coca-Cola
to enter the At-Home Soda Market with the Keurig Cold by September 2014 - Bad
news for Sodastream as Coca-Cola 10% will prove you Can't Beat the Real Thing”.
Get
ready for the YouTube videos from the US of a doing all kinds of Experiments
with powdered Alcohol!
