| The lime is used to get the water out of ethanol. Its ground to a powder level of fineness, mixed into the ethanol/water, and the water binds to the lime and settles out. They suck the pure ethanol off the top and you are left with the lime and water in the bottom of the tank.
Its much higher moisture than quarry lime, but if you can make a pile to shed the rain and let it sit for a while it'll spread easily enough. Not quite as easy to spread as ag lime, but its cheaper since its a local source(just over $15/ton delivered), and it is a very fine grind. Immediate results. But the moisture content makes it impossible to spread in cold temps because it will freeze solid.
