Is there any trace amounts of methanol produced during fermentation, or even other types of alcohol such as propanol or butanol?
I should've rephrased the question more appropriately. I meant to ask is there trace amounts of methanol production when fermenting beer, hence why I posted it here. Perhaps I could've continued it on from my earlier post and referenced it to beer.
as painfully ill-informed as he is, he's not yet mentioned distillation. Just maybe he really does expect to make some high alc grog simply by fermenting a ton of sugar with turbo yeast.
Mate, you have been told earlier, it will taste like shit. And if you do want to distill it, then it cant be discussed here !
Make some beer and then we'll chat
or....
I'm pretty sure you can create methanol and higher alcohols when fermenting a sugar wash too hot, that's how people go blind drinking moonshinecan someone point to anything anywhere that says methanol is produced? It's an old wives tale like aluminium and alzheimers. Fermentation of sugar with yeast doesn't produce methanol. the end.

That is complete bullshit. Its in the range of 0.001% to 0.1% of the total alcohols produced.
The "people go blind" thing with moonshine wasn't to do with the methanol it was actually related to the things people were adding to spirits during prohabition era. This is a common misunderstanding perpetuated by the authorities at the time which continues today
