Alcohols & Fermentation

C_6H_{12}O_6 \rightarrow 2C_2H_5OH + 2CO_2

Fermentation rate100%

Ethanol produced11.4%

Temperature (°C)30

Fermentation time (hours)24

Set the temperature to exactly 30°C — confirm the fermentation rate reads 100%
Drop the temperature to 0°C — confirm fermentation has completely stopped
Raise the temperature to 60°C — confirm fermentation has completely stopped (the enzymes are destroyed)
At the optimum temperature, compare 6 hours against 48 hours — confirm ethanol concentration is higher after longer fermentation
Ferment at the optimum temperature for as long as this sim allows — confirm ethanol concentration is above 14%
