There are seveal places to find recipies for making ethanol. 
To answer your questions:
The ph of the wash/mash will need to be in the range of 4.5 to 5.5.  The manufacturer of the yeast that you use will tell you what is optimum for the particular strain of yeast that you are using.    Some yeasts flurish at a little higher PH while some will die in high PH. 
 
Ph is tested with litmus paper available on our website.  
 
Ph is increased and decresed by atting either Acid or Basic materials.  I have found that PH increaser and decreaser from the Pool chemical section of Walmart is a good way to go. 
 
The PH levels are related to the Health and welbeing of the microbes that will be converting the sugar to ethanol;.   They are very picky about the water thay live in and the temperature of that water.   
 
I hope that this helps.   
 
We are available on a consulting basis to help people with fermentation and distilation problems on a commercial scale.  .    The yahoo group alcoholfuel  is a great group to join. You can ask questions and get help there for free. 
 
I hope this helps.   Let me know how else I can be of assistance.
