I operate an ethanol "plant". I have two varieties as output: wine and beer. The yeast I use produces an alcohol content of around 13% by volume for the wine, and 6% for the beer. Now if the feds would only remove the restrictions for distilling it I would be a much happier brewer!
The radio host mentioned that it costs about 70¢/gallon to make ethanol. He also mentioned one needs a Federal license to produce it legally.
Since it happens I just bought a flex-fuel minivan, ... ;)
Wake me up when it's a two YEAR low.
