How do you intend to use the alcohol? As fuel or for drinking, or

This would be for fuel. From my understanding the batch process is
better
for drinking because methanol would be boiled off first. You are
supposed
to be able to take the alcohol from the continuous process and run it
through a pot still to boil off the methanol first and get the ethanol.

The fuel is bound to be very expensive.

Would you have to pay Motor fuel tax?
Does the BATF regulate home stills?

No and no, as far as I understand.

However, other laws may apply to an industrial plant that Roger wants
to have in his residence.
