Dissolve an adjunct - a fermentable sugar like fructose or sucrose - to water, and add yeast. The yeast will process the sugars and produce, primarily, CO2 and ethyl alcohol. The simplest way to do this would be to use cane sugar or corn sugar (such as Karo syrup), dissolved (and preferably boiled) within water. In a pinch, baker's yeast can be used, provided it's not quick-rising.
Beyond this, the must should be kept in a moderately-warm, dark place (particularly out of sunlight), and should be fitted with an airlock so that the CO2 may escape, but air and other contaminants can't get back inside. Depending on the types and amounts of sugar and yeast, and the ratio of water:fermentables, the fermentation could take anywhere from a few days to a few months.

What conditions are needed to make ethanol from ethene and steam?
Heating a mixture of ethanol and water would produce a mixture of water vapor (steam) and ethanol vapor. Depending on the composition of the mixture, there could be more ethanol vapor than steam in the resulting gas mixture.
How do you make chloroethane from ethanol?
React hydrochloric acid with ethanol
What are the optimum conditions for ethanol production?
I think that its works best in an anerobic environment
How do you make 90 percent ethanol from 100 percent ethanol?
Add 10 parts water to 90 parts 100% ethanol.
Is aluminum compatible with pure ethanol?
No, since the ethanol is pure it is a base and will make the alluminium turn all black and rusty. Hope this helped :-)

What is used to make ethanol for fuel?
Fuel grade ethanol can be made by biological or chemical routes.For biologically based ethanol starches or sugars from plants are fermented under anaerobic conditions and the produced ethanol is distilled to the desirable level of purity.For the chemical process, light gases from petroleum is reacted to create ethane or ethylene and an OH- is substituted for one of the hydrogen's in the alkane or inserted into the double bond to make ethanol.
What conditions are needed to make a fire?
heat,oxygen,fuel source
What conditions are needed by a plant to make it grow?
sunlight, water and air .....
How do you make chloroethane from ethanol?
React hydrochloric acid with ethanol
Does it make a difference how much ethanol is in it?
Yes, ethanol is what makes you drunk
What is needed to make pyruvate?
Pyruvate is an organic acid and is a ketone functional group. It is made up of glucose, acetyl co enzyme A, alanine, and ethanol.
What are the optimum conditions for ethanol production?

Can ethanol undergo oxidation?
Yes. Under proper conditions, ethanol can be oxidized to ethanal (also called "acetaldehyde"), acetic acid, and/or carbon dioxide.
How do you make 90 percent ethanol from 100 percent ethanol?
Add 10 parts water to 90 parts 100% ethanol.
What to do to make ethanol as water immiscible?
Ethanol and water both have O-H bonds. So Water molecules make Strong H bonds with ethanol. Therefor these 2 compounds are immiscible.
How do you make decolorizer for gram stain?
It is an alchoholic compound i.e. 95% ethanol.
