Hydrous (or wet) ethanol is the most concentrated grade of ethanol that can be produced by simple distillation, without the further dehydration step necessary to produce anhydrous (or dry) ethanol. Hydrous ethanol (also sometimes known as azeotropic ethanol) is typically from 186 proof (93% ethanol, 7% water) and 192 proof (96% ethanol, 4% water).
