This would be for fuel. From my understanding the batch process is better
for drinking because methanol would be boiled off first. You are supposed
to be able to take the alcohol from the continuous process and run it
through a pot still to boil off the methanol first and get the ethanol.

Where is the methanol coming from? Sugar & yeast produce lots of
fat yeast critters, all ****ing ethanol till they get too drunk to
continue. If you are getting methanol in your product, something else
is wrong.

The yeast generate the methanol all by themselves. Likewise the fusel
alcohols.

Yeast produces Methanol? Hmm, learn something new everyday.

Go not to the Net for answers, for it will tell you Yes and no. And
you are a bloody fool, only an ignorant cretin would even ask the
question, forty two, 47, the second door, and how many blonde lawyers
does it take to change a lightbulb.
