Alcohol is the waste product from yeast. Yeast is a living organism that causes fermentation. Very simply - yeast takes in sugar and gives off alcohol. - To produce alcohol (ethanol) these things happen:
- Make a mash. The mash is a combination of mixing together exact proportions of water, yeast and grains or fruits.
- Then the mash, through the fermentation process, makes a beer or wine solution.
- Then the beer or wine is run through a still (distilling device) removing the alcohol out of the beer.
