Secrets of Building an Alcohol
Producing Still, Gingery
82 pages, 8-1/2 x 11 (Softcover)
An intelligent person knows that hoarding
gasoline is not a solution to fuel shortages.
An intelligent person finds alternative
solutions, and this machine is just such
a solution. Instead of trying to stockpile
gasoline, you can make your own substitute out of sugar, corn,
potatoes, or almost anything you can ferment into alcohol. This
still will remove the water, creating almost pure alcohol, nearly
200 proof, so you can burn it in just about any type of engine.
