I took an energy for agriculture class at good old Michigan State University, it had a section on alternative fuels, the university had just built a still for producing ethanol to experiment with for use in tractors and such, in the educational environment they gave tours of the still, folks would like to climb up the ladder to look in the mash tunn, folks running the show thought it would be nice to put a mirror above the tunn so folks of could see in without climbing. Instructor told us two valuable things during the tour, if you requisition a mirror to put on the ceiling from the university you get a lot of unwanted attention real quick and if you have to deal with the BATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms)you'll find out real quick they're real butt holes. About 7 years later I was going through the US Navy's Explosive Ordinance Disposal School, one of the instructors- a Marine Master Gunnery Sergeant warned us that the BATF would be watching us and that they're real butt holes to deal with, avoid them at all costs.
So back to the post question if you distill you're very likely to end up dealing with the BATF and they're real butt holes. If you and I were to discuss (legal term "conspire") distilling alcohol and then one of us goes and purchases something for the purpose of distilling untaxed spirits we have both committed a felony. Probably don't want to mess with the BATF, this is the same organization that brought us such memorable events as the Davidian Complex stand off/massacre at Waco Texas and the Ruby Ridge shoot out.

I was thirteen, and Kathy (my oldest sister) was seven. At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
