Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fermentation produces ethanol, which is the type of alcohol found in alcoholic beverages. The maximum alcohol content that can be achieved through fermentation is around 15 percent. This is because the yeast responsible for fermentation can tolerate only a certain level of alcohol before dying off, stopping the fermentation process. Higher alcohol concentrations are typically achieved through distillation or other methods.
