How to make moonshine

  1. Get some grapes, and some sugar, and some water.
  2. Crush the grapes, and mix them with the water and sugar
  3. Keep the mixture warm and covered for a few weeks.
  4. Here's the beautiful part -- you don't give a damn about the quality of the liquid which has been fermenting, or the way it tastes. 'Cause by the time you're through distilling it, your end product has no tase -- it's pure alcohol. So there's no need for the care that goes into beer brewing, or wine, etc. Make an aparatus with cold water flowing through a glass tube, suspended horizontally over the basin with your fermenting fluid in it. All enclosed in something. I don't know, you work it out, there must be hundreds of ways to build a still. They even make commercial distillers, I know.
  5. Distill out the alcohol. Drink it, or fuel your car with it, either one will work.

What I find so funny about this is that it's obvious, once you think about it, how easy a process this all is, and how far I was from knowing how to do it until it was explained to me, anyway.
