During this distillation, volatile components in the wort will evaporate together with the alcohol, giving the liquid a further boost in taste. Interaction with the copper of the stills is essential here. Copper reacts with the sulfur-containing compounds that would destroy the delicate taste of ...
and, as is so common with failures in the lab, he ended up with a nasty, black solid residue in the bottom of his flask. While cleaning the flask, he found that the mess contained a purple-colored compound that was soluble in alcohol. ...
The Chemistry of Alcohol The alcohol found in alcoholic beverages is ethyl alcohol (ethanol). The molecular structure of ethanol looks like this: where C is carbon, H is hydrogen, O is oxygen and each hyphen is a chemical bond between the atoms. For clarity, the bonds of the three hydroge...
