Ingredients:
- Sugar source (such as fruits, grains, or molasses)
- Water
- Yeast
Procedure:
1. Start by preparing the sugar source. This can be done by mashing or crushing fruits, cooking grains, or dissolving molasses in water.
2. Add water to the sugar source to create a solution with the desired sugar concentration. The sugar concentration will determine the alcohol content of the final product.
3. Add yeast to the sugar solution. The yeast will ferment the sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide.
4. Cover the fermentation vessel with a lid or airlock to allow carbon dioxide to escape while preventing contaminants from entering.
5. Allow the mixture to ferment for several days to weeks, depending on the desired alcohol content and flavor profile.
6. Once fermentation is complete, strain the mixture to remove any solids or sediment.
7. Transfer the liquid to a clean container for aging, if desired. Aging can improve the flavor and smoothness of the alcohol.
8. Bottle the alcohol and store it in a cool, dark place until ready to enjoy.

Ingredients:
- Ethanol-producing yeast (e.g., Saccharomyces cerevisiae)
- Sugar source (e.g., glucose, sucrose, maltose)
- Water
Procedures:
1. Preparation of the Fermentation Medium:
- Dissolve the sugar source in warm water to create a sugar solution.
- The sugar concentration should be between 10-15%.
- Adjust the pH of the solution to 4.5-5.5 using a buffer or acid.
2. Inoculation with Yeast:
- Suspend the yeast in a small volume of sterile water.
- Add the yeast suspension to the fermentation medium and stir gently.
3. Fermentation:
- Transfer the inoculated fermentation medium to a fermentation vessel (e.g., fermenter, carboy).
- Seal the vessel to create anaerobic conditions.
- Maintain the fermentation temperature at 25-30°C.
- Aerate the fermentation for the first 24-48 hours to promote yeast growth.
4. Ethanol Production:
- During fermentation, the yeast converts the sugar into ethanol and carbon dioxide.
- The ethanol concentration typically reaches 10-15% within 3-7 days.
5. Distillation (Optional):
- After fermentation, the ethanol can be distilled to increase its concentration.
- Distillation involves vaporizing the ethanol and condensing it to obtain a higher-proof alcohol.
6. Maturation:
- For aged alcohols, the distilled ethanol is placed in barrels or other containers for maturation.
- Maturation improves the flavor and aroma of the alcohol.
Additional Notes:
- Different sugar sources can produce different types of alcohol (e.g., beer from barley, wine from grapes, sake from rice).
- The type of yeast used can also affect the flavor and aroma of the alcohol.
- Traditional biotechnological alcohol production does not involve the use of chemicals or synthetic ingredients.
