Grain alcohol is a form of pure alcohol which has been produced by fermenting and distilling grain. In addition to being used in the production of alcoholic beverages, grain alcohol is also used as a solvent and in a variety of other industrial applications. Because grain alcohol is extremely potent, it should not be consumed straight, and people should never consume other alcohols such as methyl alcohol, because these substances are very toxic. Grain Alcohol is a clear liquid, with no colour, no smell, and no taste. It has a very harsh, burning after taste, that makes most people cough. It is usually produced in a continuous still method, as thats the cheapest way to produce it. Distillation alone, however, can only produce alcohol up to 96% pure. Even if you could make 100 proof alcohol through distillation.
