Frequently asked questions

Why is it a bit less in practice?
Part of the sugar goes into yeast growth and by-products, and part of the alcohol evaporates, so the real strength is often 0.2–0.5 % lower.

The calculations are approximate: they help to assess the process and compare options, but do not replace a process design and trials on a specific raw material. This section is for reference only and contains no commercial offers.
