you are 25 years too late. The Myth of the existance of an energy and
economically efficient "small scale" FUEL alcohol facility died about then
after a very short but expensive life. Now if you want to put your ethanol
in a jug- well, I'm from Kentucky and that's another story <grin>.
If you want a good history of this effort, the fed has lottsa reporsts put
out at tax payer expenses- including plans by the best and the worst, buth
highest priced consultants- Just hop on over to your government document
depository- most land grant insitutions have one and go through their
collection.
The same holds for on farm biogas plants and the rest of the on farm
alternative energy materials- One thing the fed does is produce a lot of
reports with lottsa information. So a stop at your local government
docvuments depot and then to your local purveyor of quality brubon and you
should stay toasty warm and informed for the rest of the winter
