Steps to Buy Food Grade Ethanol in Minnesota
To buy food grade ethanol in Minnesota, follow these steps:
- Read and understand the rules for Minnesota governing 200 proof undenatured food grade ethanol products like Culinary Solvent.
- Download your blank permit and follow our instructions for Minnesota customers to complete their Permit to Purchase Ethyl Alcohol.
- Submit the completed permit application to your state authority and await approval, which is typically two to three business days.
- Send a copy of your approved permit to service@culinarysolvent.com.
- Proceed to checkout using our online store powered by Shopify. We'll provide tracking information once your order is packed for pickup by FedEx or UPS, with automated updates during transit through to delivery confirmation.
- Prepare for Delivery: All orders ship requiring an adult signature at time of delivery. Be sure that someone over the age of 21 is available to sign and accept the package upon arrival. Due to the nature of the product being shipped, PO boxes and hold requests at local FedEx or UPS locations are not allowable destinations, all orders must ship to a physical address and be signed for at delivery. Not going to be home at time of delivery to sign for your package? Read our helpful tips for successful order delivery here for more information.

Transit Time for Shipping to Minnesota
From our distillery in Maine to Minnesota, your order of Culinary Solvent should arrive in approximately three business days, allowing one additional business day for fulfillment and processing time. Depending on where you live, Saturdays and Sundays are sometimes counted as business days. All orders are processed within one business day of receipt, Monday through Friday (with the exception of certain holidays). Orders are never "backordered" and are fulfilled as quickly as possible; if we suspect a delay in fulfillment, we will let you know as soon as we do. You will receive a tracking number and an estimated delivery date directly from your carrier after your order has been fulfilled at the distillery (typically within one business day after ordering).
