Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Business Red Trail Energy, LLC, a North Dakota limited liability company (the “Company”), owns and operates a 50 million gallon annual name-plate production ethanol plant near Richardton, North Dakota (the “Plant”). Accounting Estimates Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported revenues and expenses. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the useful lives of property, plant and equipment, inventory and allowance for doubtful accounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Net Income Per Unit Net income per unit is calculated on a basic and fully diluted basis using the weighted average units outstanding during the period. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13 adds a current expected credit loss (“CECL”) impairment model to U.S. GAAP that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Modified retrospective adoption is required with any cumulative-effect adjustment recorded to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within the year of adoption. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Effective October 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 using the modified retrospective approach, which had no impact upon adoption.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Revenue | REVENUE Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue from sales of ethanol and co-products at the point in time when the performance obligations in the contract are met, which is when the customer obtains control of such products and typically occurs upon shipment depending on the terms of the underlying contracts. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. In some instances, the Company enters into contracts with customers that contain multiple performance obligations to deliver specified volumes of co-products over a contractual period of less than 12 months. In such instances, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation identified in the contract based on relative standalone selling prices and recognizes the related revenue as control of each individual product is transferred to the customer in satisfaction of the corresponding performance obligation. Revenue by Source The following table disaggregates revenue by major source for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
Shipping and Handling Costs We account for shipping and handling activities related to contracts with customers as costs to fulfill our promises to transfer the associated products. Accordingly, we record customer payments associated with shipping and handling costs as a component of revenue, and classify such costs as a component of cost of goods sold. Customer Deposits Customer deposits are contract liabilities for payments in excess of revenue recognized. Customer deposits are recognized when modified customers make prepayments on their contracts. The ending balances for accounts receivable and customer deposits were as follows for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Reclassifications | RESTATEMENTS OF PRIOR FINANCIAL INFORMATION This quarterly report on form 10-Q of the Company for the three months ended December 31, 2021 includes the restatement of the Company’s previously filed unaudited statement of operations and cash flows statement for the three months ended December 31, 2020 due to expenditures that should have been capitalized as construction in progress. The Company’s management has concluded these figures should be re-stated in the statements of operations and cash flows for comparative purposes in 2021 filings. Accordingly, the Company has determined that prior financial statements should be corrected. Furthermore, from a quantitative and qualitative perspective, the Company has determined that correcting the previously filed December 31, 2020 financial statements would not require previously filed reports to be amended.

Derivative Instruments | DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS Commodity Contracts As part of its hedging strategy, the Company may enter into ethanol, soybean, soybean oil, natural gas and corn commodity-based derivatives in order to protect cash flows from fluctuations caused by volatility in commodity prices in order to protect gross profit margins from potentially adverse effects of market and price volatility on ethanol sales, corn oil sales, and corn purchase commitments where the prices are set at a future date. These derivatives are not designated as effective hedges for accounting purposes. For derivative instruments that are not accounted for as hedges, or for the ineffective portions of qualifying hedges, the change in fair value is recorded through earnings in the period of change. Ethanol derivative fair market value gains or losses are included in the results of operations and are classified as revenue, and corn derivative changes in fair market value are included in cost of goods sold.
The following tables provide details regarding the Company's derivative financial instruments at December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021:

Bank Financing | BANK FINANCING Ethanol Recovery Program On July 13, 2020, we received a $5.41 million loan through the Bank of North Dakota's Ethanol Recovery Program and Cornerstone Bank ("Cornerstone"). The Ethanol Recovery Program was developed by the North Dakota Ethanol Producers Association and the Bank of North Dakota to use the existing Biofuels Partnership in Assisting Community Expansion ("PACE") program and Value-added Guarantee Loan program to help ethanol production facilities weather the economic challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Ethanol producers could qualify for up to $15 million of a low interest loan of 1% based on the amount of such producers' annual corn grind. On December 3, 2021 we received forgiveness of $2.65 million of the loan. The forgiveness was recorded as other income. The outstanding balance as of December 31, 2021 was $1.78 million. The maturity date of the loan is July 13, 2025. The fixed interest rate on December 31, 2021 was 3.75% with an interest rate buy down through the Bank of North Dakota to 1%. Revolving Loan On February 1, 2021 we renewed our $10 million revolving loan (the "Revolving Loan") with Cornerstone. The maturity date of the Revolving Loan was January 31, 2022. On February 3, 2022 the Revolving Loan was renewed. The new maturity date is March 31, 2022. At December 31, 2021, we had $10 million available under the Revolving Loan. The variable interest rate on December 31, 2021 was 3.00%. Construction Loans On January 22, 2020, we entered into a $7 million construction loan (the "Construction Loan") with Cornerstone. The original maturity date of the Construction Loan was June 1, 2021. On June 3, 2021 we extended the maturity date to February 1, 2022. As of February 1, 2022 we were still negotiating the renewal of the Construction Loan. We anticipate renewing the loan on April 1, 2022. At December 31, 2021, we had $7 million available under the Construction Loan. The variable interest rate on December 31, 2021 was 3.00%. On February 1, 2021 we entered into a $28 million construction loan (the "CCS Construction Loan") with Cornerstone for the carbon capture and storage project.

Under the terms of the PPP Loan, the Company applied for forgiveness of the entire amount of the PPP Loan on October 31, 2020, in accordance with PPP regulations, which provided for the possibility of loan forgiveness because the Company used all proceeds of the PPP Loan for qualifying expenses in accordance with PPP requirements.

The Company's loans are secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company.

Uncertainties Impacting the Ethanol Industry and Our Future Operations [Abstract] | |
Uncertainties Impacting the Ethanol Industry and Our Future Operations | UNCERTAINTIES IMPACTING THE ETHANOL INDUSTRY AND OUR FUTURE OPERATIONSDuring volatile market conditions, the Company experiences certain risks and uncertainties, which could have a severe impact on operations. The Company's revenues are derived from the sale and distribution of ethanol and distillers grains to customers primarily located in the United States. Corn for the production process is supplied to the Plant primarily from local agricultural producers and from purchases on the open market. The Company's operating and financial performance is largely driven by prices at which the Company sells ethanol and distillers grains and by the cost at which it is able to purchase corn for operations. The price of ethanol is influenced by factors such as supply and demand, weather, government policies and programs, and unleaded gasoline and the petroleum markets, although since 2005 the prices of ethanol and gasoline began a divergence with ethanol, which has generally been selling for less than gasoline at the wholesale level. Excess ethanol supply in the market, in particular, puts downward pressure on the price of ethanol. The Company's largest cost of production is corn. The cost of corn is generally impacted by factors such as supply and demand, weather, government policies and programs. The Company's risk management program is used to protect against the price volatility of these commodities. The Company's financial performance is highly dependent on the Federal Renewable Fuels Standard ("RFS"), which requires that a certain amount of renewable fuels must be used each year in the United States. Corn based ethanol, such as the ethanol the Company produces, can be used to meet a portion of the RFS requirement. In November 2013, the EPA issued a proposed rule which would reduce the RFS for 2014, including the RFS requirement related to corn based ethanol. The EPA proposed rule was subject to a comment period which expired in January 2014. On November 30, 2015, the EPA released its final ethanol use requirements for 2014, 2015 and 2016, which were lower than the statutory requirements in the RFS. However, the final RFS for 2017 equaled the statutory requirement which was also the case for the 2018, 2019 and 2020 RFS final rules. No final RFS has been established for 2021. The Company anticipates that the results of operations during the remainder of fiscal year 2022 will continue to be affected by volatility in the commodity markets. The volatility is due to various factors, including uncertainty with respect to the availability and supply of corn, increased demand for grain from global and national markets, speculation in the commodity markets, demand for corn from the ethanol industry and continued effects from decreased ethanol demand due to the travel restrictions that were implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Accounting Estimates | Accounting Estimates Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported revenues and expenses. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the useful lives of property, plant and equipment, inventory and allowance for doubtful accounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Net Income Per Unit | Net Income Per UnitNet income per unit is calculated on a basic and fully diluted basis using the weighted average units outstanding during the period. |
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13 adds a current expected credit loss (“CECL”) impairment model to U.S. GAAP that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Modified retrospective adoption is required with any cumulative-effect adjustment recorded to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within the year of adoption. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Effective October 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 using the modified retrospective approach, which had no impact upon adoption.
