Making ethanol at home is not a tough process. All you need is patience. Ethanol can be used in many ways,like it is used as a solvent in chemical labs, in wines,etc.
Alcohol is injurious to health.
There also many crazy experiments which you can do with ethanol. Ethanol is highly combustible substance. So you should be very cautious while handling ethanol. You can also use ethanol to mix it with any juice to make it more attractive in taste. So,today I am going to explain you the easiest process by which you can make ethanol at home at a very less cost. Let's start -
Ingredients you need :
1) 500 gram Sugar
2) 1 Tablespoon Yeast
3) Boiled Water
4) A bottle
5) A baloon
As you can see the ingredients you need can be found easily at your home. The only thing you have to buy is a packet of Yeast and a baloon. Yeast can be found easily in any market or in any Store. You can use the yeast which is used in bakery. The cost of yeast is also not very high.
Follow it steps carefully because any wrong step can destroy high quality ethanol production.
Step 1 -
In the first step you have to take 500 grams sugar and pour it in the boiled water. Mix the sugar carefully. You can take the quantity of water as your requirement. You have to stir until sugar mix with water completely. After doing this keep the solution aside and note that the solution is not too hot.
Step 2 -
In the second step you have to take a tablespoon of Yeast. Now you have to mix the yeast in lukewarm water. Keep in mind that the water should not be hot because it kills the yeast. The water should not be too cold because it do not activate the yeast.
Lukewarm water activates the yeast.
Step 3 -
Now bring a bottle and pour the sugar and water solution. And then pour the yeast. After doing these fix the balloon on the top of the bottle. The balloon will collect the carbon dioxide released in this process. This process is known as fermentation. In this process high amount of carbon dioxide is released. There should not be any intake of oxygen or air. So,for this we have fixed the balloon on top so that it will collect the carbon dioxide but will not let air to get in.
Step 4 -
Now keep the bottle in a dark room. The surrounding temperature should not be too high . Within 2 hours you will see the process taking place. The balloon will be increasing in size and you will see bubbles inside the bottle. The bubbles are of carbon dioxide. Now after 14 hours the fermentation will stop automatically.

Note : This step is very crucial in this process.
This step is also known as distillation. In this step you have to heat the solution. You have to heat the solution to 80 degree Celsius and continue heating. Note that the temperature should not rise above 80 degree Celsius. At about 80 degree Celsius ethanol vaporizes. You have to collect this ethanol vapours and condense it to liquid.
It is very important to maintain the temperature at 80 degree Celsius otherwise this process won't be applicable.
If you have not understand this distillation process then see this video.
This video will be very helpful to you.
If you follow this process then I am hundred percent sure that you have collected ethanol. You should use this ethanol correctly.
