What is the best way to make alcohol at home?

and I mean to get fucked up

>> No.9471575

>>9471520
Probably wine or dry cider instead of beer. It's the simplest alcohol to make and has a higher abv than beer.
>Step one acquire wine grapes of choice
>Step two crush by any means necessary
>Step three pitch in a bit of yeast for a consistent fermentation
>Step four store in a food grade container (plastic bucket) with a water lock on the lid @ about 65°f
>Step five wait two weeks
>Step six siphon off the liquid into a second food grade container you don't need a water lock for the lid
>Step seven, wait
Or not it's up to you step seven is aging for taste purposes you have about all the ABV as you'll ever get at that point.

Sugar concentration. Wine grapes are so sweet they will burn your mouth a bit when eaten raw this is good as sugar is what is turned into alcohol. Also the aforementioned tannins will be different and vary even among wine grapes. The smaller the berry the greater the tannins to juice ratio the stronger the wine flavor.

oztops makes these lids that screw on to most regular juice bottles. you just add the yeast and maybe a little extra sugar, wait a few days and there's your cider. there's so much sugar in apple juice that it tastes fine just on its own. its 25 bucks for the set and you get enough yeast to make more than a hundred litres of cider and enough lids that you can brew a couple of different flavours all at once. you don't need to fuck around with grapes and balloons and shit, it's the easiest and fastest method i've ever seen.

If you can find a place that sells these beer kits they're probably the easiest way to make booze. You can add more fermentables to the recipe like dextrose or malt extract and bump the ABV up.
You can go to about 8% before it starts getting a funky alcohol taste.

I use a big pot in the freezer packed with dry ice. The insulation helps minimize loss of dry ice. Every hour or so just open it up to skim off the water ice and top off the pot with more cider and add more dry ice. Keep it going till ice won't form any more and you are out of cider. That makes some potent moonshine no joke.

you are an idiot. methanol is produced in small quantities simply by fermenting grain to produce ethanol. in amounts that are almost neglible, even if you don't discard the heads (first portion) of the liqour you are distilling. which is all you have to do to ensure your home still does not contaminate your drink with methanol (it has a lower boiling point than ethanol, so it comes off your condensor first) people went blind from alcohol because during prohibition the government added large quantities of methanol to ethanol to make it dangerous to drink. this (intentionally) led to the myth that homebrew can make you go blind.

Freeze distillation does not concentrate the drinking alcohol to such a point methanol poisoning should be a concern. There isn't really a way to remove it either.

>>9472120
Methonal exists in small amounts in all alcohol, or so I've read. But it's not enough to kill or harm you. Also, the treatment for methonal poisoning is... Ethonal.

You'll only run into dangerous levels of methonal if you improperly distill alcohol, or do ice distillation / concentration like >>9472026 suggested. But even doing thst, as long as you don't reduce it to extreme levels you'll be safe.

If you have any information to thr contrary, please share. If you don't. Fuck right off with your fear mongering.

All these people saying to use regular sugar. For shame.

What you really want is either glucose or dextrose, or rice with amylase (dry enzyme).

Regular sugar is naturally quite bitter before the sweetness kicks in, which is why things like lollies and orange juice taste like absolute arse after you brush your teeth (tooth paste shuts off your sense of sweet taste) but glucose and dextrose aren't. If you don't want to cringe your spine out your butthole every sip of your moonshine, use glucose or dextrose and let it sit for... probably 2-3 weeks or so, or until it clears. You can buy bentonite from your friendly local brew shop (which you'd probably need to go to if you're buying yeast and glucose) to speed up the clearing process. Rack off the clear 'shine and use the cold distilling method mentioned earlier to up the alcohol percentage quite a bit. It'll probably still taste pretty bad, but you won't hate yourself.

The other method, as mentioned earlier, is with rice and amylase. This basically follows the last method, except you don't have to distil it. This gives you sake, rice wine. Distilled, it becomes shochu.

With either distilled product, I suggest drinking with either cola or cordial to mask bad flavours if you want.

>> No.9479489

>>9476228
The amount of water frozen out of it is based on how cold it gets. A regular temp freezer will make it stronger but not moonshine. Lowering the temperature allows you to acheive much higher proofs. I like my applejack to kick like the devil.

Why the fuck are you people who have no idea about distilling even posting, just shut the fuck up.

Methanol- lower boiling point than ethanol therefore when distilling a batch of shine the methanol boils off first and the first bottle filled has literally all the methanol in it, so if you're, say, a greedy criminal moonshiner and don't discard it then the amount which would normally be spread over the whole batch is concentrated.
