I really couldn't comment on cost as I buy premium corn, pure organic not a feed grade, and malt is a spesh pilsner malt from beer belly ...personal choice I guess but I want to drink it.

Malt would be about $3.

The Max distiller usually gives me about 15%+ or there abouts... 8lt @85 - 92abv minus throws for heads is about the norm.

But you'd also be doing 9am-5pm, Monday to Friday...so would already be putting in 40 hours a week in the distillery ;-)

Do you do that at home consistently? You do it for the love of the hobby :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Yeah was thinking you were going to have a pretty low ABV!
