Nedstar is your supplier of choice of premium grain alcohol, also called neutral grain spirit. With our global supply of the highest purity ethanol, we can deliver products from various agricultural origins, tailored to your product needs and regional regulations.
Grain alcohol is ethanol made from the starch of grain crops such as wheat, corn, rye, barley, and rice. High-purity ethanol made from grains is often called neutral grain spirit, or neutral spirit, due to its high alcohol content of > 96% ABV / 192 proof. As an extra neutral alcohol, grain ethanol can be used across a broad range of applications in the food and non-food sector.

Depending on its alcohol volume, grain alcohol can be used either directly in food and beverage products or as an element in non-food products. Neutral grain spirit with an ABV of more than 96% is a popular ingredient in industries where cleaning and disinfecting properties are of highest importance, for example cleaning products, hand sanitisers, and pharmaceuticals. In the food sector, alcohol made out of grain plays a crucial role in giving traditional flavours to spirits such as whiskey and gin.
Understanding the nuances of each grain's characteristics and how they contribute to the final product is key to selecting the perfect grain for your ethanol applications.
Next to grain, ethanol can be won out of the sugar or starch of other raw materials; an example of another popular raw material is sugarcane. In the beverage industry, traditions and spirit types define if grain or another raw material is chosen as spirit base. Cosmetics and personal care products usually prefer high-quality wheat alcohol, while industrial sectors may use ethanol from various raw material origin. Experienced ethanol suppliers can help you to find an ethanol product out of the right raw material for your industry and needs.

Choose from our wide selection of grains, including wheat, rye, and more, to tailor to your taste preferences, budget and regional availability.
Nedstar's commitment to the highest quality standard also translates into our grain neutral spirit. Through meticulous distillation, our grain alcohol results in a neutral product with minimal levels of impurities. This commitment to quality makes our grain alcohol an ideal choice for applications in both food and non-food industries.
Our grain alcohol is always ISO22000, ISO9001, Echa Art. 95, and REACH certified. As a company conscious of our impact on the planet, we advocate for the use of organic ethanol and provide the needed organic certifications worldwide.
