A tiny leak into your product is deadly.
Just use plain water and if it eventually develops a corrosion hole the worst outcome is that your distillate %ABV decreases a bit before you notice.
Read about any coolant/chemical in its SDS before you use it, if you CBF'd reading about it definitely don't use it.
:laughing-rolling: the only thing I still seem to remember about high school chemistry is that the ONLY cure for Children that drink coolant is straight alcohol!! No joke!!
Coolants are an anticholinesterase (?spelling?) which means that it inhibits the chemical messenger between the nerve endings which means it shuts down ALL body communication and therefore for functions... But the coolant chemicals preferentially bond with alcohol! That is accurate as of 1997 year 11 chemistry!
Needless to say, the warning above is still valid - why risk it!?!
I am grateful of the responses RE: cooling. Will have to explore the local AC businesses to see if I can get a unit from them.
RumSponge - I thank you for your link; if I am successful in securing an AC unit and have any further questions, I'll give you a PM.
