Hi, I was just wondering how much ethanol I could hope to product in one year with a small still. I am hoping to get started this spring and I would like to be able to product about 450 gallons of ethanol over the summer. Using news paper as a feed stock, would this be a realistic goal?
Also, I have been looking around the web for more information about making ethanol. I found a site for making "hooch", but I think that fuel ethanol is the same thing. From what I have read on that site you can make ethanol from pure sugar in as little as 5 days, but need special yeast (or yeast with other stuff added to feed the yeast). Would this be a good choice for making fuel ethanol?
