,What are the 3 byproducts of sugar in fermentation? - correct ans:CO2, alcohol, heat
Boiling Point of Water vs Alcohol - correct ans:212/173
What are the 5 things a fermented liquid contains? - correct ans:water, acid, aldehydes, esters, and
congeners
What is fractional distillation? - correct ans:The separation and concentration of two or more liquids
with different boiling points
What counts as a congener? - correct ans:Acids, aldehydes, esters, fusel oils, other alcohols
Define Heads, Hearts, Tails - correct ans:1. Heads - first portion of distillate to come off of the still (AKA
Foreshots)
-Contain "Low-Boilers"
-Non-potable
-Generally re-distilled or disposed of
2. Tails - last portion of distillate to come off of the still
-Contain "High-Boilers"
-Also non-potable - sometimes poisonous
-Generally redistilled or disposed of
3. Hearts - Center portion of the distillate
-Actually potable!
-Main focus of the distiller
-Contains preferred Congeners
What are the four types of stills? - correct ans:Pot still, hybrid still, column still, multiple column still
What are the two parts of a pot still? - correct ans:Still and worm condenser
, What is a worm condenser? - correct ans:A spiral metal tube connected to a still by a metal pipe that

alcohol in it
What does the analyzer part of a column still contain? - correct ans:Stripping section and rectifying
section
What is another name for a multiple column still? - correct ans:Continuous still
What does a hydroselector column do? - correct ans:Adds hot water to a spirit in a purifier column and
permits the volatile components of liquid to vaporize easier
What is an advantage of a hybrid still? - correct ans:Simplicity of design, construction, and operation
What is a disadvantage of a hybrid still? - correct ans:Lower distillation efficiency
What are the 6 processes in barrel maturation? - correct ans:Extraction, evaporation, oxidation,
concentration, filtration, and coloration
