Unless you have a really spectacular fractionating column and you manage to get 95+% ethanol, there is going to be enough water left to do engine damage.<BR/><BR/>It would be fine for drinking purposes, but at a cup of sugar a week, hardly worthwhile. It takes about 4 pounds of sugar to make a liter of 80 proof moonshine.nrphttp://eclecti.ccnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21524530.post-48497470415437202302008-08-06T09:32:00.000-05:002008-08-06T09:32:00.000-05:00Yes, but I would need to use something in the order of 10 gallons of sugar to make a gallon of ethanol.<BR/>Considering I am using less then a cup a week, this could take a while.<BR/><BR/>Anyhow, the still I would need is regulated by the ATF, and I would need to apply for a permit from them. They want the still to be in a separate building from your residence, and I live in an apartment - no chance of that happening.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, buy the time I had saved up enough by-product to make it worth the time to run it through a still, it would have all turned to vinegar anyhow.Mikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18357506618982858813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21524530.post-39771311099915327062008-08-06T09:22:00.000-05:002008-08-06T09:22:00.000-05:00Do you realize that water+sugar+yeast makes moonshine or ethanol? You could distill the mixture after the 2 weeks and put up to 10% into a gasoline vehicle.<BR/><BR/>It's pretty cool! http://danfolkes.comdanfolkeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03118013829016172879noreply@blogger.com
