AI Thread Summary
To make ethanol, start with yeast, specifically Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which is commonly used for fermentation. It's essential to sterilize the carbon source before fermentation. While S. cerevisiae produces ethanol anaerobically, a small amount of oxygen is necessary. The fermentation process can be conducted in a fermentation chamber, which is typically a large container fitted with a small neck to allow CO2 to escape while preventing contamination. Resources such as local bootleggers may provide necessary brewing materials. For further information, relevant academic papers and brewing equipment guides are available online.

Anybody know of a good site or know off of the top of their heads how to make ethanol?

First you need a yeast. Most people use Saccharomyces cerevisiae. First you need to sterilize you source of carbon. Second S. cerevisiae produce ethanol anaerobically but a certain level of oxygen is required. You can produce alcohol in fermentation chamber which can be a large container with a small neck. You put a plug on it with a swan neck or a device that let the CO2 out and not contaminant goes in. You can always check your local bootlegger, it probably has all the necessary material for brewing.
