Fermented water is a liquid containing exclusively water and approximately 15–17% ethanol. The ethanol fermentation is produced by a mixture of refined sugar dissolved in water, which yeast is added to. Fermented water is formed when the yeast have consumed all the sugar, so it does not contain a sweet reserve, which makes it taste completely dry. A refractometer can be used to control that it has zero must weight. | Fermented water is a liquid containing exclusively water and approximately 15–17% ethanol.

Fermented water ethanol fermentation is made by exclusively dissolving sugar, yeast, and water. Crude fermented water is formed when the yeast have consumed all the sugar, it should have zero must weight. Fermented water is finished after it has been clarified which will produce pure fermented water that is flax-colored with no discernible taste other than that of ethanol. | Fermented water ethanol fermentation is made by exclusively dissolving sugar, yeast, and water.
