  Fusel oil - LoveToKnow 1911
Normal propyl alcohol is contained in the fusel oil of the marc brandy of the south of France, and isoprimary butyl alcohol in that of beet-root molasses.
The chief constituent of the fusel oil procured in the manufacture of alcohol from potatoes and grain, usually known as fusel oil and potato-spirit, is isoprimary amyl alcohol, or isobutylcarbinol.
Fusel oil and its chief constituent, amyl alcohol, are direct nerve poisons.

 Method for distilling ethyl alcohol by adding salt or salts - Patent 4362601
In case the fusel oil is removed from the mash column, it is desired that the alcohol concentration be high at the upper portion of the mash column and the fusel oil be drawn out at the tray of 88.degree.
In this case, the fusel oil accumulates at a portion of the rectifying column where the alcohol concentration is 40 to 50 wt%.
Fusel oil 22 accumulated within the rectifying column 4 is removed by taking off the liquid having an alcohol concentration of 40 to 50 wt% into a separating tube 49 and discharging an upper layer of two separated layers.

 Hybrid diesel fuel composition - Patent 4968320
Fusel oil is usually supplied in a crude and a refined grade: to the purposes of the present invention, crude fusel oil is mainly considered, and this is a significant economic asset as compared with using refined higher alcohols.
As hereinbefore, the percentage of fusel oil is reckoned on an anhydrous weight basis, and the precentage of water includes the water contained in the fusel oil as an impurity.
A blend of Diesel fuel and fusel oil is prepared, the weight ratio of the former to the latter being 4:1.

Fusel alcohols, also sometimes called fusel oils, are higher order (more than two carbons) alcohols formed by fermentation and present in cider, mead, beer, wine, and spirits to varying degrees.
In other beverages, such as vodka and lagers, notable presence of fusel alcohols is considered a fault.
During distillation, fusel alcohols are concentrated in the "tails" at the end of the distillation run.

The term fusel oil comes from an old German word "fuseln", which means "to bungle" and was applied to bad spirit as in distilled alcohol and also bad tobacco.
The term fusel oil is strictly the remains of a pot or batch distillation, the compounds with low volatility.
The compounds that go to make up fusel oils predominantly consists of higher alcohols, especially amyl alcohol, esters, fatty acids and some specific aldehydes.

Drawing a slipstream from the side of the column where the fusel oil accumulates is necessary to keep the flooding from repeating.
To minimize ethanol loss there, the stream should be cooled to lower the solubility of the fusel oil and decanted, with the aqueous bottom layer returned to the column.
If the fusel oil is not removed in a side draw, it builds until it affects the column temperature control sensor, causing the column to become unstable, like it is flooding.

Now we're dealing fusel oil and its breakdown products, which are much more toxic than ethanol and acetaldehyde, so mere trace amounts have a much higher potential for hair-hurt syndrome.
The bad news about fusel oil is that it's the worst offender in causing please-kill-me-now hangovers; the good news is that we can pick what we drink to avoid it.
And because these are fermented warm and without proper yeast populations and nutrition monitoring, a higher level of fusel oil is produced even before being concentrated by distillation.

Fusel OiL During Prohibition most U. drinkers came to regard "fusel oil" as an ingredient of unsavory whiskey and a cause of bad hangovers.
Alluding to this idea with some irony last week, Industrial Chemist W. Penniman of Baltimore stated that fusel oil is the collective name for six complex alcohols which are the most important factor in determining the flavor of good whiskey.
When a customer sued an Irish distiller for damages to his health from drinking whiskey which, he claimed, contained one quarter of 1% fusel oil, the distiller's analyst for three weeks disdainfully drank whiskey to which he added 2% of fusel oil to prove that it was harmless.

Alcohol distilled from potatoes has the highest amount of fusel oil which is almost pure amyl alcohol.
The fusel oil from grains consists mostly of amyl alcohol while that from grapes has more butyl alcohol in addition to many volatile fatty acid congeners.
Highly purified neutral spirits with the fusel oil and impurities removed can still be identified according to the original source of the alcohol.

 The John Snow Archive and Research Companion
BY JOHN SNOW, M.D. In my former paper, which appeared on the 17th and 24th of January, I merely stated, with regard to the preparation of amylene, that it was made by distilling fusel oil with chloride of zinc; and I referred to the original paper of M. Balard, its discoverer, for further particulars (a).
The crude fusel oil must be submitted to a careful distillation with a thermometer in the retort.
It is probable that the amylene, as hitherto prepared, contains a little butylene, for butylic alcohol is one of the constituents of crude fusel oil, and it is not likely that amylic alcohol can be obtained entirely free from it by fractional distillation, the only process at present known for its separation.

Fruits exhausted by water or steam are darker, contain less oil and sink at once in water, but those exhausted by alcohol still retain 1 to 2 per cent, and are but little altered in appearance, they acquire, however, a peculiar fusel oil odour.
The oil (Essence de Fenouil amer) is distilled from the entire herb, collected in the south of France, where the plant grows without cultivation.
The seeds are also used for flavouring and the carminative oil that is distilled from them, which has a sweetish aromatic odour and flavour, is employed in the making of cordials and liqueurs, and is also used in perfumery and for scenting soaps.

The bad news about fusel oil is that it is the worst offender in causing please-kill-me-now hangovers.
There are more refined and expensive methods of distillation that allow for better control of the toxic substances in the final booze, and at least one "hangover-proof" vodka is made by deleting the fractions with the most fusel oil.

CAUSES: A normal reaction desired in beer, alcohol content is a function of the amount of fermentable sugars in the wort, the fermentation temperature, and the yeast strain.
PROCESS: Amount and types of fermentables in wort determine content; yeast strain and attenuation characteristics; fermentation temperature determines fusel oil characteristic.
POOR HEAD FROM PROCESS: Use of fully modified malts; use of underkilned malts; not using a one-hour boil; inadequate protein rest, low-temperature saccharification rest; oversparging; yeast autolysis from long sediment contact; excessive fusel oils; higher temperature fermentation; excessive fatty acids; overboiling of wort; insufficient or deteriorated hops; some finings.
