HOW DO YO U MaKE ETHYL ALCHOHOL?
i heard corn oil and yeast but is there any other way and is there any special stuff you have to do like age it or ferment it or whatever. thx.
Answers:
You "make" alcohol by adding yeast to a sugar solution. Actually the yeast makes the alcohol. It eats the sugar, and the alcohol is the by-product (fermentation). Beer is barley and other grains which have their starches converted to sugar (called 'mashing'), wine is grape juice or other fruit/berry juice (already high in sugar)...then yeast is added, and you wait.
No oil, no starch...neither of these are of any use to yeast.

Making wine and beer at home is perfectly legal for anybody over the legal drinking age.
Then to make hard liquor, you take one of these fermented brews and distill it...at this point you're not 'making' alcohol, you're just concentrating it.
Distilling liquor at home is perfectly ILLEGAL in the US and most other countries...the exceptions are New Zealand, Italy, Greece, Turkey (I think), and maybe a small handfull of others. Assuming you're in a country where it IS legal to distill at home, here are all the rest of your answers:

Never mind that its generally illegal to make your own alcohol in the united states without a license and it ain't cheap.

In the Prison that I work in, offenders try to get and hide fruit, to let it ferment into alcohol. It's hard to keep it hidden with shakedowns but supposedly the fruit can become very strong in alcohol flavor.
you grind the corn mix with water and some yeast. It needs to be kept at the right temperature. The yeast eats the sugar and starch and a low alcohol mix is the waste product of the yeast. If the alcohol content get above a certain point, the yeast dies. Then you distill the weak alcohol mixture to separate the water and alcohol. It gets difficult to get a really high pure alcohol.
I am not an authority, but this is close. Corn whiskey or moonshine is made kind of like this.
The oil is not a part of alcohol, It is a separate ingredient that is removed same as any grain oil, you warm the grain and press the oil out.
