Hey Dennis, I know how it is with too many projects.
My current setup is a bit on the small side right now. I boil my mash in a 15 gallon keg (same one I use for the beer I make), ferment in a 15 gallon plastic barrel and then made a reflux still out of a another 15 gallon keg (found a PDF called "Building a Home Distillation Apparatus", can't remember the site I got it from). All that work then yields about 1.5 gallons 180 proof ethanol. I'm trying to use waste material for my fermentables.. so a plum tree in our yard will soon be part of the mash. Also been using old corn from a produce stand as well. I'm planning on doing a couple things to get more alcohol for each batch. First thing is pump up the batch size... just received my new fermenter, 55 gallon nalgene tank. Constructing a mash vessel is going to be interesting and been looking at the Mother Earth plans for a wood fired still. The other thing is trying another yeast that is more alcohol resistant... I found one from Wyeast called Eau de Vie - (Water of Life), it has alcohol tolerance up to 21%. Let me know how the conversion on ECM and fuel injected vehicles goes. I'm still looking for a suitable vehicle to be my alcohol burner.
