Where to buy- methanol & lye? (Houston)
I got a question for Houston area brewers.
Where is the cheapest/best place to purchase methanol and lye for brewing biodiesel?
I am just getting into the bio brewing game. Plan on making a 5 gal processor and possibly up grade to a 30-40 gal processor in the next year.
Thanks,
WB

Thanks for the links, I think I am lined out on lye. But methanol seems to be a challenge.
I have located HEET at walmart for the first few trial batches.
I found a spot in Houston for methanol, hiperfuels.com They want $52/5gal of methanol...
I ran my numbers and thats around $2.11/gal of bio using wvo.
I saw the wholesale price for methanol somewhere aroun $1.50/gal...
Where should I get methanol... surely I could find/ship some for less than $10/gal

www.hillbrothers.com or check your local phone book. There is plenty out there and your chemical costs should be down around 74 cents a gallon in chems.
