Grain Neutral Spirit

Grain Neutral Spirit 96% is frequently used as a Raw Material Alcohol in the production of Gin, London Dry Gin and Sloe Gin. This base does not interfere with flavor and allows the tastes of the botanicals to stay intact. Grain Neutral Spirit allows flavors to be maintained and doesn’t overshadow the distilleries intended end result – the flavor.

Along with its use in spirits production, the neutrality of rectified spirits also makes it useful in other industries such as the food, non-alcoholic beverages, pharmaceuticals and the cosmetics industry.

During this process, the grains are repeatedly distilled which then creates a highly concentrated, clear, and odorless spirit.

STEP ONE

Choosing the Raw Material

During this step, the type of natural grain is chosen for fermenting and distilling. The most popular grains used for Neutral Grain Spirits are Corn, Rye, Wheat, Barley, or Rice.

STEP TWO

Fermentation of the Chosen Grain

Once the grain is chosen, it’s time to begin fermentation. Fermentation is a very common term used across the alcohol industry. It refers to the biological process in which sugar is converted into alcohol and carbon dioxide. The catalyst in this process is yeast, used to break down the sugars and convert them into alcohol and other bi-products.

STEP THREE

Distillation

Once fermentation is complete, distillation begins. This is the process in which the fermented grain is converted from a liquid into a vapor, then back into a liquid. The grain that’s being distilled determines the distillation method: column or pot still. During this step, the product from the fermentation step is boiled to a certain temperature to produce the final product, Neutral Grain Spirits. Alcohol (ethanol) has a lower boiling point than water, therefore evaporating into a gas during the distillation process. After it’s captured in its gas form, it cools down and leaves us with a liquid mixture of highly concentrated alcohol.

What is grain neutral spirit?

Grain neutral spirit (GNS) is a type of high-proof alcohol that is distilled from grains, such as corn, wheat, or barley. It is often used as a base for making various types of alcoholic beverages, such as vodka, gin, and flavored liqueurs.

How is grain neutral spirit made?

Grain neutral spirit is made by fermenting grains with yeast to create a mash. The mash is then distilled to a high proof, usually between 190-192 proof, and then water is added to bring the alcohol content down to the desired level.
