/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Lab tech with some limited brewing experience here.

I recommend you do some practice brewing to get a feel for things before trying distilling, which comes with its own set of pitfalls.Distillation is a separate process from brewing, requiring some expertise. In brewing, if anything goes wrong, you'll get sugarwater/vinegar/shitty booze you'll go ; - ;

If your distillation goes wrong, you'll wind up with methanol (among other things). If you don't notice, and try it anyway, you'll go blind/die (methanol is converted to formaldehyde in the GI...figure it out from there).

Not telling you not to do it, as it's in your blood, but you might want to look into getting a still somehow as opposed to building your own.
