Unhappy

I am thinking of setting aside a small corner of the enclave/mancave to brew bio.

I would be happy to sell the excess to people at cost. I'm not planning to become a biodiesel magnate.

So...reactions? Regional chapters? Stickies on what's good and bad in the bio-d market? current prices in regions? Local suppliers across America?

Your thoughts please.[/QUOTE]


A couple of thoughts on this matter might be worthy of consideration. First -----different states view brewing bio differently, but my experience is that it is best to keep a low profile. My home state (KY) would require me to register as a fuel producer, be bonded, inspected, etc.
Secondly-----most states want their fair share of any highway fuel in the form of taxes. I've heard of folks selling bio under the canopy of 'home heating fuel' but I'm not sure how well that works.
That said, I would like to make bio and sell it to several friends- good for them and a little pocket change for me, but if I do then I would either be a lawbreaker or have to play in the big league. And that's not what I want to do.
