If you're lagering it takes longer, but that's getting off topic.

If it works like you describe, they probably have a better chance of success with their product.

I learned a little more about the system. It does hook up to your sewer and water. Since it is using sugar and water the only thing to clean up is the yeast if that is even necessary every time. But the main tid bit is the way it "distills" the ethanol. It uses some kind of reverse osmosis for ethanol instead of water, so no heat for distilling. That might make it very energy efficient.

What about the water usage if it is reverse osmosis. Water isn't free, even if you have your own well. ...and, if you do have your own well, you probably also have a septic tank like me, and a possible a capacity issue there. There could also be some power requirement for pumps, etc. during processing.

The real savings would come if it could use carbohydrate byproducts instead of sugar -- like beet pulp! or grape crush. That stuff is cheap and loaded with potential energy.

It is the ignorant among us that will eventually destroy us all.
