Here is a device that can be used for making ethanol fuel for your car out of corn.

Just trying to do my part for the environment.

I just looked out side and it is very clear out, the moon is very shiney!

You live on Copperhead Road??

Well my name's John Lee Pettimore

Same as my daddy and his daddy before

You hardly ever saw Grandaddy down here

He only came to town about twice a year

He'd buy a hundred pounds of yeast and some copper line

Everybody knew that he made moonshine

Now the revenue man wanted Grandaddy bad

He headed up the holler with everything he had

It's before my time but I've been told

He never came back from Copperhead Road

is that leagl ?

Depends on what you are doing with the alcohol.

Around here the line "But officer, I put it in my gas tank." Would get a real deep belly laugh from the cop, as he says "Yeah Right".

ANDY YOU DONT HAVE THAT CONTRAPTION TIED INTO YOUR PLUMBING SYSTEM DO YA????????????? LOL !!!!!! I DO BELIEVE THATS A VIOLATION OF THE PLUMBING CODE?????????

I think it's legal. Unless you are selling what it produces!!

I think it's only limited by quantity for personal consumption. As I recall 200 gal per year (don't quote me on the number, I just remember it seemed like a big number for a years worth of personal consumption). Over the limit, you own taxes.

You wouldn't happen to have any drawings or plans for that, would you? For educational purposes only, of course. If so:

BTW, I believe the gallons-per-year limit is for homebrewing beer and wine only. Distilling is still bad.

Cascade,

got'em at work. Will email tommorrow if I can't fend off the idiots long enough to screw off for a few minutes.

Buford T. Justice is going to get you!

I seem to recall the 200 gal/year figure myself, and I DOES seem that it included whiskey, cause I remember thinking "who the hell would EVER drink 200 gallons of hooch in a year?" I have thought of building a still, but want to have chapter and verse of the appropriate US Code to back me up going in! Anyone know it?

Ya hooo! Mountain Dew!!

Mighty, mighty pleasin', pappys corn squeezin'..........whoa, white lightnin'
