What type of alcohol is made with yeast and molasses?

Let me explain to you today manufacture of ethyl alcohol from molasses. In India of the ethyl alcohol is prepared from molasses. Molasses is the mother liquor left after the crystallization of cane sugar from concentrated juice. It is dark coloured thick syrupy mass. Molasses contain about 60% fermentable sugars, mostly sucrose, glucose, and fructose. It forms a brilliant cheap source of industrial ethyl alcohol. Molasses is converted into ethyl alcohol by the following steps: Dilution. Molasses id first diluted with water. One volume of molasses is blended with 5 volumes of water. Addition of Ammonium Sulphate. Molasses usually contain enough nitrogenous matter to act as food for yeast during fermentation. If the nitrogen content of the molasses is poor, it may be fortified with ammonium sulphate or ammonium phosphate. Addition of Sulphuric Acid. The solution is then made acidic with a little amount of sulphuric acid. Acidity is favourable to the growth of yeast but unfavourable to most other bacteria. Care should be taken to avoid an excess of acid as the yeast may be killed.
