Will I be able to have a still in my backyard now since it could also be used as an " alternative " fuel ?

Question

is there a web site that shows you how to make your own still ?

Answer 1

Well, you can have a still anyway.  

Get you a copper kettle, get you

   a copper coil. fill it with new  

   made corn mash and never more  

   you'll toil.  You just lay there by

   the juniper while the moon is  

   bright.  Watch them jugs afilling  In

   the pale moonlight.  Build you a

   fire with hickory,- hickory, ash  

   and oak.  Don't use no green or  

   rotten wood they'll get you by the

   smoke.  We'll just lay there by the

   juniper.

   My daddy he made whiskey;  

   my granddaddy he did too.  We ain't

   paid no whiskey tax since 1792.  

   We just lay there by the juniper...

Answer 2

Yes and no.  To do it legal, you need an alternative fuel producer liscence from the ATF.  If you are brewing alky for fuel without one, they can write you some LARGE tickets.  

As far as a site that shows how to make a still, here is the best one I have found.  Problem is that you need to buy the plans.

There are many others, and I am not knocking them.  This is just the one that made the most sense to me.

Answer 3

yes I got plans free from my state farm service office 18 or 20 years ago along with brochures on what crops to plant in my area & how to process them most efficiently.

they dont recomend a pot & tube still for fuel production its too slow. the plans I got were for a tall pipe full of glass marbles as a condenser instead of a copper coil.

fuel alcohol needs to be at least 180 proof so you need to water it down to drink it.

check with the farm bureau in your state.
