I want to make ISO hash, but I only have 91% alcohol. Will this work or should I just go and get some 99%?

the other 9% will be water, you'll just have more water to boil of at the end. I've used 95% Ethanol and 99% iso with no problem and have heard of people using as low as 70% but that its not recommended.
But if you can find 99% go with that.

91% works
a higher alcohol content means less harmful chemicals

The 9% water can be removed by shaking with a large volume of oven-baked, finely crushed magnesium sulphate (epsom salts).
As isopropanol is already very polar compared to the "ideal" solvents (hexane, butane, pentane) - a little water is not going to hurt. But like normal ISO hash you'll still pull a lot of chlorophyll etc
Also, what "harmful chemicals"? The other 9% is just water and it's not like you should be using toxic weed for ISO hash anyway

higher alcohol content means less color additives, suitable stabilizers, and perfume oils

It will work, but yes, the other 9% would be better. Just let it evaporate for longer before scrapping. Check out our mega thread on hash, found in the directory which is linked in my signature
