manic Posted December 14, 2014 Hey yall, So I have quite a big block in which is waiting for something to be done.... Currently I have a big veggie garden and amongst it is several thousand corn plants which are just starting to flower. I was thinking of making corn flour and possibly even some corn whiskey. When I was thinking about the whiskey it got me thinking about bio-fuels in that a 100% alcohol corn whiskey could probably power my car. I think? Now my question is does anybody here no much about these things? Or even better is anyone currently doing this? I imagine I would need an awfull lot of corn in order to make such a pure whiskey but I have acres upon acres in which like I said are just waiting for me to do something. Plenty of fresh spring water too I abolutely love the idea of not having to fill up at the bowser again. Does anybody think this is potentially a feasable idea? Cheers.

Dreamwalker. Posted December 15, 2014 wouldn't you use a lot of tractor fuel growing ha's of corn? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teonanacatl Posted December 15, 2014 Id make drinking alcohol and sell to mates then use that cash to buy fuel, more economical- just my thoughts though, do what you want to do Making biodiesel from scrap oil or diesel from pyrolysis of plastic is likewise worthwhile- they are waste streams which you can convert to a useful product. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
