TRUCTION SHEET FOR TTB FORM 5110.74
COMPLETE THIS FORM IN TRIPLICATE. SIGN ALL COPIES IN INK.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. AN INCOMPLETE OR INCORRECT APPLICATION WILL DELAY YOUR ALCOHOL FUEL PRODUCER'S PERMIT.

would like to establish a plant to produce, process, and store, and use or
distribute distilled spirits to be used exclusively for fuel purposes under 26
U.S.C. 5181. Distilled spirits means only ethanol or ethyl alcohol. The
production of methanol does not require a permit from the Alcohol
and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau. The production of distilled spirits
from petroleum, natural gas, or coal is not allowed by the Alcohol Fuel
Producer's Permit.
2. GENERAL PREPARATION. Prepare this form and any attachments in
triplicate. Use separate sheets of approximately the same size as this
form when necessary or as required. Identify these separate sheets with

5. TYPE OF PLANT (ITEM 1). This item need only be completed on an
original application or when the level of operation changes. Determine the
type of plant on the basis of how many proof gallons of distilled spirits you
intend to produce and receive during one calendar year. Proof gallons are
calculated by taking the proof of the spirits multiplied by the wine gallons
(a standard American gallon) and dividing by 100.
Example:
50 gallons of 190° proof spirits =
190 times 50 divided by 100 = 95 proof gallons

terms and conditions of an existing permit. Fill in only those sections
being amended.
7. CAPACITY OF STILLS (ITEM 11 (d)). The capacity of your still(s) in proof
gallons equals the greatest number of proof gallons of spirits that could be
distilled in a 24-hour period. The capacity of a column still may be shown by
giving the diameter of the base and the number of plates or packing
material. The capacity of a pot or kettle still may be shown by giving the
volumetric (wine gallon) capacity of the pot or kettle.
8. SAMPLE OF DIAGRAM OF PREMISES (ITEM 14). The diagram of your
