Spirits - (answers)beverages in which the alcohol content has been concentrated
by the process of distillation
Distillation - (answers)process separates the alcohol in a fermented liquid,
generally through the use of heat
Ethanol (Ethyl Alcohol) - (answers)is a product of the initial fermentation process
whereby the sugar is converted to alcohol through the metabolic action of yeast
What is a Spirit? - (answers)is the product of an initial fermentation followed by
the distillation of that fermented liquid, resulting in a high-alcohol beverage
Base Ingredients - (answers)alcohol spirits may be produced using a variety of ...
Two or Three Stages - (answers)depending on the choice, the production of a
spirit consists of either
honey, sugarcane, molasses, grapes, fruits - (answers)Spirits produced from base
ingredients that contain readily available sugars
(_________________________________________), only two stages are required,
as the available sugars are converted into alcohol relatively easily
,2|Page
Saccharification - (answers)is the application of heat to a starch to trigger the
enzymatic processes to convert the starch to fermentable sugar
Rice, potatoes, or grains - (answers)what are the starchy materials used in
conversion process, saccharification?
Milling - (answers)the process of grinding and separating wheat and other cereal
grains in preparation for malting
Mash - (answers)the mixture of base materials (typically ground malted and
unmalted grains mixed with water and cooked in a large cylindrical container
called a mash tun) that is fermented into an alcoholic wash in preparation for
production a spirit.
Mash Bill - (answers)the combination of grains used for mashing.
Fermentation - (answers)the action of yeast on the sugars in a solution
How does fermentation work? - (answers)the yeast consumes and metabolizes
the sugar, and in the process, converts the sugar into ethyl alcohol, carbon
dioxide, and energy in the form of heat.
What happens after fermentation? - (answers)the fermented liquid will have used
up the yeast cells in the mixture (dead yeast cells are known as lees) - while often
discarded, there are times when the lees are used to impart additional flavor to a
,3|Page
spirit.
Lees - (answers)dead yeast cells; often discard but there times when they are
used to impart additional flavor to spirit
Spirit Still - (answers)Once the initial fermentation is completed, the alcohol is
concentrated to a desired degree using a ...
Lower - (answers)Distillation is a complex process, but it's based on one simple
fact - alcohol has a ____________ boiling temperature than water, therefore the
alcohol will dissipate into gas before the water begins to boil.
Vaporize (turn to gas). - (answers)When the temperature reaches a point where
the alcohol is above the boiling temperature (173 degrees Fahrenheit/78 degrees
Celsius) the liquid will ______________________
Higher - (answers)The vaporized alcohol and water are then captured in a closed
vessel and cooled, the gases will turn back into liquid and will have a
_________________ concentration of alcohol than the original alcohol-water
mixture.
Boiling Point - (answers)the highest temperature a liquid may reach before it
turns into gas
, 4|Page
212 degrees Fahrenheit or 100 degrees Celsius - (answers)Water vaporizes at?
173 degrees Fahrenheit or 78 degrees Celsius - (answers)Alcohol vaporizes at?
Miscible Liquids - (answers)these are liquids that dissolve into each other
water and ethyl alcohol - (answers)The solution of ___________ & ____________
are miscible (they dissolve one another) and acts like a new, single liquid
it has its own boiling point somewhere between the boiling points of the two
liquids - (answers)What is a miscible liquid boiling point?
Fractional Distillation - (answers)the separation of a liquid mixture into fractions
(components), separating chemical compounds by their boiling point and heating
them to a temperature at which one or more fractions of the compound will
vaporize.
Potential Alcohol by Volume - (answers)In most commercial distillation processes,
the final mixture never reaches more than 96.5% ABV, to achieve 100%, a
dehydration procedure would have to be carried out in specified conditions
96.5% - (answers)the final mixture never reaches more than ______________
ABV
