Alcohol is known to be obtained owing to ability to live yeast culture, and on how the work yeast and what they eat, determines the final result. The bacteria need sugar, but ordinary sand yeast bacteria to process difficult. Much of the energy goes to the transformation of sugar molecules, splitting them into glucose and fructose, and only then to decomposition of the desired intermediate to alcohol and carbon dioxide. As a result of the fermentation process slows down, and the final product is slightly worse.
Distiller save in this case invert sugar. That is, a person removes the yeast from the first stage and he breaks down into its component sugars. Industrial enterprises used factory-made sugars, but the private handyman ready components will cost expensive, much more profitable to spend invert sugar alone.

• boil the syrup with the lid on low heat for about an hour;
• giving cool to 30 ° C.
