Default Boiling point of ammonium hydroxide...

I found the boiling point of Ammonium Hydroxide on yahoo, but, what I need to know is would boiling household Ammonia at 85* give off ammonia gas?

I am trying to make anhydrous ammonia this way since there isn't really any way to get it around here.

My suggestion if you can't get anhydrous is to try a different method ;-)

Anhydrous Amonia is pretty damn abundent... you sure you can't get it?

That will not work.

Anhydrous ammonia is better made by reaction of an ammonium salt (fertilizer) with sodium hydroxide pellets (drain opener), drying by passing over sodium hydroxide pellets, then condensing with dry ice.
