"You may have seen news items on people distilling ethanol at home to
supplement their gasoline needs. Unfortunately, some of the reports do
not inform the public that it is illegal to distill alcohol without
first obtaining a Federal permit through the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and
Trade Bureau (TTB). Failure to obtain a Federal permit prior to engaging
in this activity is a criminal offence under the Internal Revenue Code.
Federal law provides for the issuance of Alcohol Fuel Plant (AFP)
permits for persons who intend to produce, process, store, use or
distribute distilled spirits exclusively for fuel use. Persons wishing
to distill ethanol for fuel use should contact TTB’s National Revenue
Center at 513-684-3334 in order to apply for a permit. There may also be
additional permitting requirements and other restrictions on the State
and local level."
