| | Alcoholic proof - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Alcohol is produced by yeast during the process of fermentation. | | | The catch is that water and alcohol form a mixture (called an azeotrope) that has a lower boiling point than either one of them, so what distills off first is that mixture that is 95% alcohol and 5% water. | | | Stronger liquors are distilled after fermentation is complete to separate the alcoholic liquid from the remains of the grain, fruit, or whatever it was made from. |

| | Alcoholic beverage - Free Encyclopedia |
| | Alcoholic beverages include low-alcohol-content beverages produced by fermentation of sugar- or starch-containing products, and high-alcohol-content beverages produced by distillation of the low-alcohol-content beverages. | | | Alcoholic beverages often are used for ritualistic and symbolic purposes such as for mass or Passover wine. | | | It is rather the boiling of water, which is required for the brewing of beer, which sanitizes it. |

| | If alcohol is distilled from wine, the spirit is brandy, if it is distilled from beer, the product is whisky, if it is distilled from a sugar cane fermented beverage, the spirit is rum, and so forth. | | | The low alcohol products, wines and beers, are normally consumed just as they are. | | | Alcoholic beverages are not additive laden as many foods seem to be but additives are necessary for microbiological control during ingredient growth and fermentation, for clarification, and to enhance preservation. |

| | Applejack - Psychology Central |
| | Due to the relatively higher cost and lower yield of alcohol produced from fruit fermentation, commercially produced applejack may be composed of apple brandy diluted with grain spirits until the drink reaches an alcohol content of thirty to forty percent. | | | From the fermented juice, with an alcohol content of less than ten percent, the concentrated result contains thirty to forty percent alcohol (i.e., is sixty to eighty proof), is slightly sweet, and tastes and usually smells of apples. | | | It is made by concentrating hard cider (as British cider, i.e., fermented alcoholic apple juice, is called in American usage), either by the traditional method of freeze distillation (see fractional freezing), or by true evaporative distillation. |

| | Bourbon whiskey - Psychology Central |
| | Bourbon is an American form of whiskey (note the spelling), made from (pursuant to US trade law) at least 51% corn, or maize, (typically about 70%) with the remainder being wheat, rye, and malted barley. | | | The acid introduced by using the sour mash controls the growth of bacteria that could taint the whiskey. | | | A refinement introduced by Scottish chemist Dr. James C. Crow was the sour mash process, by which each new fermentation is conditioned with some amount of spent "Feed Mash" (previously fermented mash that has been separated from its alcohol), in much the same way that sourdough bread is made from starter. |

| | proof (alcoholic) |
| | Recently the United States has begun to label bottles containing wine and spiriits with the percentage of alcohol by volume, instead of proof. | | | A hydrometer, however, can only determine the composition of a water-alcohol mixture if it contains only water and alcohol–and there are other complicating factors, especially temperature. | | | In the United States, the proof of an alcoholic beverage is twice its alcohol content expressed as percentage by volume at 60°F. So an 80-proof whiskey is 40% alcohol. |
