Don't distill your own isopropanol in your garage/yard. Simple as that.

That is shocking because many articles on the internet suggest this, and I myself have been distilling IPA for years.

Not trying to challenge or argue, but I’m just surprised and a little embarrassed.

Can anyone comment why this hasn’t been a problem for me? Is this a matter of potency? Or number of cycles of distilling?

This post goes into detail why you shouldn't do it: https://lemmy.ml/post/19598195

As to why there are so many articles on the internet: if there are many articles recommending jumping off a cliff... /j

That stuff is dangerous. Don't trust anyone on that stuff, just because they have a homepage.

I'm guessing you were just lucky.
