I have purchased a number of bio ethanol burners which fit into the existing fire places in my old house. The idea was to reduce my carbon foot print. I have completely miscalculated the cost of running them. The cost of the boi-ethanol is ridiculous and most of the suppliers I have found sell in a poxy 1L bottle. Does anyone know where I can buy the fuel in larger cheaper quantities?

My first recollection of tinkering was wiring a 240v radio cord to a 9v motor to my technic Lego truck, it ended with setting the kitchen on fire!............................I couldn't sit down for two days!

Hey Hunni i was joking about the brew and ferment.
You cant realistically do that, you would need an ICI sized plant and a licence for the amount you need.
But, .............there was a topic here 2 weeks ago re fermenting.
edit to say. i meant distiling not fermenting.
Ive sampled rather a bit this evening and not thinking straight
