Actually you can distill quite a bit of ethanol in the home if it is
denatured and not for "sippin".  The main problem may be local fire code
issues with having that much "flammable" in a residential area.  I have
relatives in minnesota that used to distill out probably somewhere in the
order of about 200 gallons a year.  Mash to the livestock and the alcohol
into fuel.

Planned insanity is best.
Remember that sanity is optional.
