The wheat, corn, rice, barley, or oats needs to be crushed, mixed with water and yeast and kept warm while the yeast digests the sugars. The resulting fermented mixture is then distilled by boiling off the alcohol into a vapor and re-condensing the alcohol in a separate container. It can be burned or consumed at that point, but all you have is straight ethyl alcohol (vodka). It can be flavored and aged to make gin, Bourbon, whiskey, or scotch. Most rum is still made using sugarcane and molasses, while tequila is made from the agave cactus. Beer is made using the same ingredients with the addition of hops, but the resulting mixture is filtered and served without being distilled. Wine is made from grapes which are crushed for their juice and then fermented, filtered, and aged. Cognac is made by distilling and aging wine.

Is ethanol made from wheat renewable?
Only when it is recycled. Solar and Wind energies are merely new.
What type of fuel is ethanol?
Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) is a fuel made by fermentation or the substitution of ethylene. It is described as a "biofuel" by proponents when it is made from corn, grain, sugar or cellulose, it can also be made by industrial process as a by-product or major product.
What are the concerns of using ethanol as a fuel?
Ethanol has many considerations as far as its use as an automotive fuel.\: # On the plus side it is a liquid and easily handled in the present transportation and delivery systems. # On the negative side: * Ethanol from food crops removes food from the system * It requires more energy to produce ethanol than the automobile gets out of the ethanol (Crops require fertilization and fertilizers are made using hydrocarbons, ethanol is made by fermaentation, the fermentation products require distillation, the ethanol is a less efficient fuel than gasoline) * Ethanol combustion creates tail pipe emissions of aldehydes and ketones at levels not present in hydrocarbon fuelled autos * There is not enough land to produce enough ethanol fuel while maintaining food production * Ethanol from waste cellulose is not being pursued asa production route
How is biomass converted into ethinol?
Ethanol (ethyl alcohol), also known as grain alcohol, is the same 'alcohol' found in all alcoholic drinks. Bioethanol is simply ethanol that has been produced using biological materials (biomass) for feedstocks. Since it relies on sunlight and photosynthesis to contribute to the growth of that biomass (plants, grasses, corn, wheat, etc), bioethanol is a renewable fuel. Bioethanol is made when biomass is converted to sugars, which are then fermented into ethanol. The process of hydrolysis seperates most of the water from ethanol, leaving an end product that is generally about 95% ethanol and 5% water. Bioethanol can be blended with conventional gasoline at any ratio, but the most common blend is E10 (10% ethanol, 90% gasoline, sometimes called Gasohol), which can be used in existing gasoline engines without modifications and without affecting vehicle warranty. Higher blends, such as E85, require a Flexible fuel vehicle (FFV).source: http://www.futurecars.com/futurefuels/bioethanol.html
Why does ethanol burn differently than ethanol and water mixed?
the main reason why ethanol burns differently then ethanol and water mix is mainly because when you add the water to the ethanol you are making the ethanol less potent so it will burn weaker.
Is ethanol made from wheat renewable?

How can ethane be used to make ethanol?
There are many methods. A few are listed below: 1. by the hydrogenation of ethene. 2. by the hydrogenation of ethyne. 3. by the reaction of methyl halide in presence of sodium (Wurtz reaction).
What plant is ethanol made of?
There is no plant that is made of ethanol. Ethanol is a biomass energy source made of grains and corn.
How is ethanol found?
ethanol is not "found", it's made by the fermentation process.

What percent of gasoline consist of ethanol that is made from corn?
The percentage of gasoline that is ethanol differs according to the type of gasoline measured. On average, though, most gasoline is at least 13% to 15% ethanol made from corn.
