I saw in an earlier post by fabman that the magnesol wash method bumps it by about .10 a gallon so even at 1.30 for the high end it's still about half the cost of dino for only a modest start up cost and probably about 2 hrs of your time per batch maximum. Doesn't sound like a bad deal at all. Will have to start collecting drums and plumbing supplies I guess and start getting ready to build. Thanks for the input and if anyone else wants to chime in i'm interested in hearing your costs.
