Well im just curios brewing all ways fascinated me, but what are the products of fermentation?
Ex... I take a jar put water and sugar in it, add yeast put a lid on the jar wait a day, what is produced? i know ethanol is. Im asking because you could easily make moonshine by putting sugar in water and adding yeast then filtering the yeast out, or is methanol also produced?

Don't put a lid on it.Unless, you like glass flying all over the place..
Fermentation is the process of deriving energy from the oxidation of organic compounds, such as carbohydrates, using an endogenous electron acceptor, which is usually an organic compound [1]. This is in contrast to cellular respiration, where electrons are donated to an exogenous electron acceptor, such as oxygen, via an electron transport chain [1]. Fermentation does not necessarily have to be carried out in an anaerobic environment, however. For example, even in the presence of abundant oxygen, yeast cells greatly prefer fermentation to oxidative phosphorylation, as long as sugars are readily available for consumption [2].
Sugars are the common substrate of fermentation, and typical examples of fermentation products are ethanol, lactic acid, and hydrogen. However, more exotic compounds can be produced by fermentation, such as butyric acid and acetone. Yeast carries out fermentation in the production of ethanol in beers, wines and other alcoholic drinks, along with the production of large quantities of carbon dioxide. Fermentation occurs in mammalian muscle during periods of intense exercise where oxygen supply becomes limited[3]

okay... does that mean that yeast will create more then just ethanol and CO2?
EDIT: i read wiki before making this post it says it creates ethanol and CO2 but it doesn't say it makes nothing else.

Thanks, after reading a bit i read that methanol is produced from pectins, and sugar, the one you bake with has no pectins, so therefore when fermented it will not contain methanol? would there be any other contaminates?
I found my answers!
