Our 3" Column Ethanol Still Plans

 

We helped create the original Charles 803 manual with Robert Warren.  This is the updated version with a higher output and added features to increase the ease of operation. For those who want to know more about the precursor to our stills take a look at the Charles Still History page.

T
his still will produce up to 5 gallons per hour (120 gallons per day) with 18% beer ethanol content. Lower output per hour with lower ethanol content.*  This still is sufficient to fuel one vehicle for the average person, assuming you distill at least four times a week.


Includes the following:


  • Updated Instruction Manual in .pdf format (we will email it to you.)
  • Copies of the Alcohol Fuel Permit forms and IRS tax credit forms included with the manual.
  • A 24" x 36" blueprint.
  • 1st class delivery of the hard copy plans via USPS.
  • A free download copy of the BeUtilityFree™ Sourcebook! (a $9.95 value).


All the above for ONLY USD $59.00.  Shipping and handling to the lower 48 US states included.




 

Our 4" Column Ethanol Still Plans


Based on the same design, our 4" still will produce a lot more fuel in the same time.

The 4" Column Still has an average ethanol output of 5 gallons per hour , with a peak flow rate of about 15 gallons an hour. 

Remember: output depends on the ethanol content of your beer and the boiler size. The higher the ethanol content of your beer and the larger the batch, the higher the output. We recommend a minimum boiler size of 100 gallons for operation of the 4" column still.

Includes the following:
 
  • Updated Instruction Manual in .pdf format (we will email it to you.)
  • Copies of the Alcohol Fuel Permit forms and IRS tax credit forms included with the manual.
  • A 24" x 36" blueprint.
  • 1st class delivery of the hard copy plans via USPS.
  • A free download copy of the BeUtilityFree™ Sourcebook! (a $9.95 value).

All the above for ONLY USD $99.00.  Shipping and handling to the lower 48 US states included.



 

*All ethanol output of any still is based on concentration of alcohol vapors going into still, boiler size and the flow rate of the vapors. The first hour of production in a batch process always produces the highest amount of ethanol output.

You MUST also have a Federal permit to operate this still. You can download the forms directly off our web site and send them in after you fill them out. For the form please click here.
