Distilling is surprisingly easy amd cheap. I wont give my recipe out but you can find many on the net. I distill 55 gallons at a time (when i do). Kimda got out of it once i started smoking mj.

Stick with pot. One good drink from a bad batch of shine can blind or kill. Not folklore either. Read up.

i like the home-made alcohol i have helped my buddy make. It works as a varnish remover, a fuel for many things, a commodity, a disinfectant, an antiseptic, a degreaser, a "warmer" on cold days/night, a great extractor, AND a spirit that can intoxicate.
i LOVE multi-tools
It tests on the hygrometer at 188-192 proof every time.
It's water, corn, sugar, and yeast, time, and heat.

Methanol vs. ethanol. While producing, simple to tell the difference. When consuming while diluted with ethanol, not so much. Make your own or trust the one who makes it imo.

wine is super easy, you can get up about 12% max. There are some strains of yeast that can handle more but about 12 is max. Beer is pretty easy too, theres lots of ingredient kits online. I make beer alot, I've made at least 50 gallons this year.

A triple reflux still will push 190 proof all day long. VERY easy to do.

its fun great hobby a lot to learn just like growing...
do you want to make beer wine or moonshine?
making a good beer or wine is where you should start because its the foundation to good moonshine making..
if u need advice I make all 3.. ya know for personal consumption.. and dont let people scare you about the going blind thing.. by the time you get to the spirit run there is barely and methyl in there
the only warning you need is once you learn how to do it right you wont want to drink whats on the shelves anymore

Ahh...in my country (Romania) almost every family has a member who makes alcohol at least twice a year. Wine, strong drinks...you name it. It's definitely worth it.

Yes but you want to get as much of the cogeners out as possible. They're responsible for a number of hangover symptoms and are why better liquor produces less hangover, and why red wine causes one of the worst hangovers despite having a relatively low alcohol content.

Never had much of a hangover from this shine. Don't necessarily remember what i did after drinking it (depending on quantity) lol but the next morning has never been real bad. Slow for sure and a little groggy but no headache and rarely nausea.
Sorry the pic isn't rotated.
