Total acidity, pH and ethanol contents in illicit liquor (Indian home made brew).
'Home made brew' (illicit liquor) is often consumed in rural areas of India. Forty-six such alcohol samples were collected from different areas to assess total acidity, pH and ethanol content. The mean ethanol content was 16.47% (v/v) (range 1.11-36.88%). Total acidity ranged between 0.56 and 10.88 with the mean of 2.85 g of sodium hydroxide/l. The mean pH was 4.20 (range 2.70-9.41).
