Thank you for answer;
We want to produce alcohol with chestnut but chestnut is starch substance and we need to make chestnut liquid use to some beverage 
So i understand that you want to add chestnut in an alcohol drink. Not producing alcohol from chestnut. Am i right ?
first we have to hydrolyze the chestnut to get the chestnut juice, and add to sugar them then we will get the alcohol
Chestnuts are high in carbohydrates which can be made fermentable by adding enzymes like amylase, the powerful being the amyloglucosidase to convert it into glucose .
Adding distillers yeast or champagne yeast to the wort or slurry of enzyme treated chestnuts puree will ferment it to 15 % alcohol at least which can be extracted by fractional distillation.
