For centuries there have been people who made ethyl alcohol, or ethanol. Now a lot of people are wanting to learn how to make ethanol. But for years it wasn’t called ethanol. Many people know of it as moonshine. Moonshine is the stuff that people think of being made in a still nestled deep in the Appalachian Mountains by a man missing a few teeth. But if people knew that the same steps that are needed for creating moonshine are the ones that are used to make ethanol, they would be surprised. So with the constant rise in gasoline prices many people are wanting to learn how to make ethanol.
There are a couple of ways that are used to make ethanol. There is both wet and dry milling. These are two very different ways that are used with the making of ethanol. Wet milling only accounts for about eighteen percent of all ethanol production whereas dry milling is the most commonly used at eighty two percent of production. These are some things that you will need to know when you learn how to make ethanol.
