Ingredients:
- Sugar cane or other fermentable sugars
- Water
- Yeast
Procedure:
1. Start by crushing or juicing the sugar cane to extract the juice. If using other fermentable sugars, dissolve them in water to create a sugar solution.
2. Transfer the sugar cane juice or sugar solution to a fermentation vessel.
3. Add yeast to the fermentation vessel and mix well to ensure the yeast is evenly distributed.
4. Cover the fermentation vessel with a lid or cloth to allow for gas exchange while preventing contamination.
5. Allow the mixture to ferment for several days to a week, depending on the desired alcohol content.
6. Monitor the fermentation process by checking for bubbles and the smell of alcohol.
7. Once fermentation is complete, distill the fermented liquid to separate the ethanol from the rest of the mixture.
8. Collect the distilled ethanol and store it in a clean container for consumption or further processing.

Ingredients:
- 100 lbs (45 kg) of maize (corn)
- 50 gallons (189 liters) of water
- 1.5 gallons (5.7 liters) of yeast
- 1 oz (28 g) of ammonium sulfate
- 1 oz (28 g) of citric acid
Procedures:
1. Milling and Mixing:
- Grind the maize into a coarse flour.
- In a large vessel, mix the corn flour with the water, yeast, ammonium sulfate, and citric acid.
2. Fermentation:
- Cover the vessel and allow the mixture to ferment for 7-10 days at a temperature of 75-80°F (24-27°C).
- Stir the mixture occasionally to release carbon dioxide and prevent clumping.
3. Distillation:
- After fermentation, transfer the mixture to a still for distillation.
- Heat the mixture until the ethanol evaporates and condenses.
- Collect the condensed ethanol into a separate container.
4. Drying:
- To remove any impurities from the ethanol, dehydrate it using a method such as molecular sieves or calcium oxide.
5. Filtration:
- Filter the dehydrated ethanol through a microfilter to remove any remaining suspended solids.
6. Aging (Optional):
- If desired, the ethanol can be aged in oak barrels or other containers for several months to add flavor and smoothness.
7. Bottling:
- Once aged (if desired), bottle the ethanol in airtight containers and store it in a cool, dark place.
Notes:
- The exact proportions of ingredients and the duration of fermentation and distillation may vary depending on factors such as the type of corn used and the desired alcohol content.
- Ethanol production is a controlled activity in many countries, and it is important to comply with all local regulations.
- Consuming large amounts of ethanol can be harmful to your health.
