Actually, although most of us had never heard of ethanol before the crisis in oil and gasoline prices in recent years, humans have been making it for thousands of years. Why is that? Because it's so easy to produce. It can be made from any vegetable source that has enough sugar or ingredients that can be converted into sugar (starch and cellulose, for instance). Sugar cane and sugar beets come to mind. Corn also has starch that can be turned into sugar, but it takes more processing to convert the starch.

Here is the simplest possible description of the process:

1) Grind up kernels of a grain such as corn or wheat finely to expose the starch.
2) Mix the resulting mass with water.
3) Cook briefly and add enzymes that will change the starch to sugar. This process is called hydrolysis.
4) Add yeast. This will bring on the fermentation necessary to produce ethanol.
5) Distill it all to separate the ethanol from everything else.

That's it! Many webs
