What is the difference between 搾る and 絞る?


According to JMDict both 搾る and 絞る mean **squeeze**. Is there a difference in
their usage? I noticed that 搾る is used to describe the process of beer making,
can 絞る be used alternatively in this case?




  * 搾る = milking, squeeze, 

  * 絞る = wring something dry out, narrow down, (voice/volume of audio) turn down, squeeze

When you squeeze a lemon 絞る and 搾る are both right.

When you say, Turn the radio down ラジオの音量を **絞る**

When you say, To get milk from cow 牛乳を **搾る**
