The main problem may be local fire code issues with having that much "flammable" in a residential area. I have relatives in minnesota that used to distill out probably somewhere in the order of about 200 gallons a year. Mash to the livestock and the alcohol into fuel. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• jimt Planned insanity is best.
