I would like to know if there are any other ways of concentrating ethanol than distilling. For example could i add salt or sugar to 10-18% freshly
fermented alcohol to separate it into layers.

yeah - that (separating into layers) doesn't work.
Freezing does.
Freeze till it gets slushy, then sieve the ice out - the icy bit will be a much lower percentage than the liquid bit.
If you live in a place where it gets freezy outside, this can be a low energy way of getting high % alcohol.
You'll need to repeat more than a couple of times tho..

Ahill thanks. It's not very cold out where I live but I do have a freezer in my room
