An Introduction to Producing
Alcohol as a Fuel
We at THE REVENOOR CO have been in the alcohol producing industry for the last three generations and although we
produced and sold an “illegal moonshine beverage” the art of producing alcohol fuel is basically the same. Alcohol fuel is no
more than moonshine whiskey.
Alcohol burns more completely than gasoline. You may recall the days when spark plugs were wired to the tailpipes of cars
to make flames shootout the tailpipes. This occurred because the gasoline was not being completely burned in the engine. It
passed right through the engine and out the exhaust system.
There is an alternative
Alcohol has been a proven product and motor fuel for nearly a century. It comes from products grown on top of the earth
surface. It is non-polluting. It emits only CO2 (carbon dioxide) which is essential to plant life, and water, which is essential
to most all types of life. Alcohol has a much higher octane rating (108) than gasoline. There are very few of us in a position
to produce gasoline, but very few of us who can not produce our own alcohol fuel.

the alcohol. After conducting the experiment, can you image the reactions of the public, if alcohol was in use worldwide and
filthy gasoline was introduce as a replacement?
Tax Credits
Alcohol fuel producers may qualify for TAX CREDITS (tax credits come right off the total of your tax liability, not a
deduction.) There is up to 51 cents per gallon Federal tax credit for every gallon of fuel alcohol you produce. A number of
states offer further tax incentive on property and income.
It is very beneficial to burn alcohol in greenhouses. Some studies report up to 200 % increase due to carbon dioxide and
water vapor emission promoting extra growth in plants.
Automobile Conversions
Our “SIMPLE SOUR MASH TO SIMPLE ALCOHOL FUEL” book contains a complete section on this subject, in
addition to much more valuable and useful information relating to alcohol.
1. You make a “mash” out of corn, grains, potatoes, sugar beets, fruits, etc. with water, yeast and a sweetening agent
such as molasses.
2. The mash makes a “beer” during the fermentation.
3. The “still” takes the alcohol out of the beer during distillation. Only the liquid beer is placed in the cooker using the
SOUR MASH method. This enables you to use your mash over and over. Cooked mash can be used only once.
If you choose to cook your mash using enzymes, all REVENOOR stills will work equally well using this method.

One Year Warranty
REVENOOR stills are covered by limited warranty for one year after date of purchase. Within this one year from the date
of purchase, the REVENOOR will repair or replace your still if it is found to be deficient by reason of defect in either
workmanship or materials. This warranty will not apply if your still has been damaged in transit, (you should open and
inspect your still for damage upon receipt, because the shipper is responsible for damage in transit) if it is damaged from
abuse, misuse, negligence, or accident, if it is improperly installed or in anyway modified. Should it be necessary for the still
to be returned to our factory for repairs, transportation cost to and from our factory are the owner’s responsibility and must be
prepaid.
The gallon size of the still is the cooker capacity. Example, a five gallon REVENOOR still holds five gallons of “beer,” a
25 gallon still holds 25 gallons of “beer” etc. Each unit is listed with the actual alcohol production rates on the page that
describes the still in more detail. As you will notice, the larger stills are more efficient and take considerably less attention.
Some folks have more time to produce fuel then do others. Therefore you may wish to set up a larger plant to produce a lot
of fuel at one time and then shut it down until your reserves are running low. Or even keep a larger unit running
continuously and sell your excess at a profit.
Assembly
The only tools needed to complete assembly of the REVENOOR five, ten, twenty-five and fifty gallon size stills are two 8”
to 10” adjustable wrenches.

Trade-Ins
If you prefer to start out with a smaller unit to get the feel of alcohol production and then wish to move up to a larger sized
unit, we will allow you full price paid on a larger unit. Of course, your trade-in must still be in good condition so it can be
resold. However, if you have purchased your still from a dealer, you will have to make arrangements for a trade-in with
them. We also have several units in stock that are trade-ins that are discounted from the original price. These trade-ins are
completely reconditioned and carry a normal one year warranty the same as a new unit. Since stock on trade-in stills
fluctuate almost daily, it will be necessary to phone or write us for availability.
We hope the information we have furnished you is helpful and we look forward to helping you to be fuel independent. Some
of our customers have purchased units from us and have put them aside for future use or for emergency purposes.
Propane-Fired Stills
The propane models are supplied with a cast iron burner, heating head, adjustable regulators, pilot assembly, thermal couple
and safety shut down.
The following high quality accessories are included with each of the REVENOOR stills:

Enter the Word of Aromatherapy Distill Your Own Essential Oils
“The Essential Oil 7.5 Gallon Distiller”
This attractive all copper distiller is perfect for making essential oils via steam or hydro distillation. It is also
excellent for creating your own flower and plant (“hydrosols”). The system is divided into three components:
RETORT, BIRD’S BEAK and CONDENSER
RETORT – The retort is the cylinder that holds your plant material and water. Capacity: Approximately 1 cubic
foot, 7.5 gallons or 28.4 liters. On the retort, there is a sight glass to keep track of the water within. The heater,
which is attached to the bottom (vertical) of the retort, can be plugged into any outlet. Temperature is already set
for boiling water. On the propane model, a low pressure propane burner sits under the retort and is controlled by
an adjustable gas regulator. A drain valve is also on the bottom of the cylinder for empting the water after
distillation.
Two fittings on the retort permit adding water during distillation or can be used for connection of distillate water.
The fittings are designed for “hard-piping” your water source. They can be adapted for hoses.
BIRD’S BEAK – The Bird’s Beak attaches to the top of the retort. The top of the retort has been fitted with a
food grade gasket and provides an excellent seal against steam leaks. The cone of the Bird’s Beak is attached as a
“lid” secured in place with stainless steel wingnuts. The cone is equipped with a thermometer (Fahrenheit) to
monitor the temperature. Steam from the retort travels through the Bird’s Beak on its way to the condenser.
CONDENSOR – The purpose of the condenser is to cool the steam generated in the retort, causing the steam to
revert to liquid form. The condenser requires a constant flow of cold water. Steam enters through the top of the
condenser. There are two fittings on the vertical side of the condenser, one at the top and one at the bottom. The
fittings are designed for ½ “ tubing. Cold water is introduced at the bottom fitting and exits through the top fitting.
Water can be supplied from a sink tap.
An alternative is to connect a submersible
pump, which sits in a bucket of cold water
(ice should be added to the bucket as well
as water). The water is pumped into the
bottom fitting and is returned into the
bucket from the top fitting. This allows
distillation away from a water source,
during lectures and demonstrations, in the
garage or out in the field (power source is
required)
Tests have shown that these units will clean your lacquer thinner to
virgin quality. Acetone can be reclaimed for approximately 10 cents
a gallon.
There is no prepayment penalty. Provides a tax write-off on depreciating assets. Allows you to use your cash for items that
add value to your business.

Finance Lease:
Typically, a finance lease is a full payout, non-cancelable agreement. You are responsible for maintenance, taxes and insurance. The
benefit of this lease type is that you can take advantage of IRS Section 179 and expense up to the amount allowed for the year the
equipment is installed. You may depreciate any excess on the depreciation schedule for that particular asset.
Example: The equipment is installed in 2004 and the cost is $35,000. Using IRS Section 179 and assuming a 33% tax bracket, your tax
savings would be $25,000 x .33 = $8,250 plus the depreciation value on the remainder of $10,000.
