I've been well aware of that. I still remember hearing about cachaça brewers in Minas Gerais state using the head and tails of cachaça distillation to further process into ethanol to be used as a motor fuel around 11 years ago. Gone are the days when it was still worth watching Globo, which is still the largest FTA TV network in Brazil...

Got into distilling attempting to make non alcoholic beer as the alcoholic home made beer negates some of my diabetic medicine. Way overkill on theory, practice is looser.

I know some industrially-brewed zero-alcohol beers had the alcohol removed after fermentation, but I don't know which exact method is used. But anyway, I know there is the so-called root beer which is non-alcoholic and not a beer at all, highly popular in the United States, yet mostly unknown elsewhere. Would it also be unsuitable to address your issue with the diabetic medicine?
