Made 2000+ gallons for me and works great but family health issues have left me with no time to resume production. While not commercial grade, there are many commercial grade touches, like stainless reactor (not water heater), helical inline mixer, centrifuge cleaner, etc. Located in Winston-Salem. Includes new barrel of methanol and new bag of koh and enough oil to get the first batch. Pretty much turn key though it might need some cleaning and tweaking since it sat a year.
