Default Re: Running a moonshine still

I found out what I needed to know here.

I finally got the scoop on how much work it takes.

The estimate is that it takes about 20 hours labor to produce 50 gallons of E85 with a backyard set up.

That means with the amount of gas Holly and I typically use in a week it will take almost one full days work to produce that weeks fuel.

That definitely makes it a false economy. Even at $4.00 a gallon I can buy a heck of a lot of gas for a full days wages.
