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!

Coincidentally, I caught a little bit of a blurb on the radio as I was waking up this morning, something about buying a still over the Internet.

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, ... ;)
