fuel, with zero energy input; sweet.

While having a chat with our local organic farmer it was disclosed that it
is possible to make "food grade" ethanol (vodka) from the fermentation
process without a still by simpy allowing the natural fermentation to occur
and then bringing he mix to well below freezing temperatures where the
"water" will solidify but the alcohol won't.
Granted this could produce some inetresting alcohol for tinctures or other
medicinal purposes, but what if you take this same principle and then run
the high water content ethanol that is produced this way through a simple
condenser a la glycerine recovery system?
Wouldn't the alcohol/ethanol still evaporate at a much lower temp than the
water and thereby dewater the ethanol which would be captured in a jug or
recepticle of some sort ?
I know not much of these things, however from what I have gathered wouldn't
this be a possibility ?
Thanks for reading.
