Here is a still file from like the late 80's... But a still's a still... How to make alcohol... __________________________________________________________ | | | The Guys Six Feet Under Present | | | | Part I of the Getting Homemade Highs File | | | | ------------- | | A l c o h o l | | ------------- | |__________________________________________________________| First you must obtain (steal) a holding tank. I recommend those 6 gallon Alhambra water jugs which are often left on porches and in driveways for refills. Just take it off the porch at 3:00 AM and run it home. Now, put it where you are going to put your still. They need to be kept together. Hide your still even if you don't have parents that will shit when they see it. This is illegal by federal law, and you could get busted pretty well. Make your still so it is collapsible and you can fit it all into a small box. Hide the box in your room. When you are going to use the still, take it out and hide it behind some bushes where a passing state trooper, snoopy neighbor, or phed busting you for pirated games won't see it. Keep the Alhambra jug where the still is going to be, cause they are way too big to hide anywhere. Also, keep your still somewhere with a good breeze or away from people who will smell it. When you are fermenting the shit, it will smell like puke or even worse. When you are distilling it, your heater might put off smoke. The alcohol will smell like alcohol, and heated mash smells worse than shit. Now go buy a shitload of fresh or frozen whatever (check the list below). Frozen corn will be easiest to deal with because it is already cut off the cob and is very forgiving with beginners. Besides, it's all part of a great American tradition: Moonshine! +--------------------------+------------------------+ | Ingredient | Product | |--------------------------|------------------------| | Rye or Potatoes | Vodka | | Molasses or Sugar Cane | Rum | | Corn | Moonshine | | Wheat or Rye | Whiskey | | Barley or Rice | Beer | | Grapes | Wine | | Apple Juice | Hard Cider | | Sake | Rice | +--------------------------+------------------------+ Put about 10 bags of corn in each jug and no more, because the carbon dioxide being released sometime pushes it up and out and you could get the shit all over the ground. What a waste. Besides, it will start to rot in the ground and smell even worse. Anyway, add just enough lukewarm water to cover the surface and leave the stuff exposed to air for about 2 weeks at room temperature. After a few days it will bubble and look and smell like puke, but that's no problem. It should do that. Just be sure you've got adequate ventilation. Installing a small fan in your Alhambra jug is no problem. Drilling holes in the sides of plastic with a sharp drill bit is easy. Drill two holes near the top, where there won't be any corn (fans do tend to heat up and short circuit when exposed to water) and insert two tubes. Make the fan blowing air into your jug, id nitrogen instead of water cause it won't speed up the distilling process.

He was going first- class. He lived near a creek that stayed pretty cool, so he was going to figure out how to use that unlimited supply of water. The creek grew plenty of bushes, so he hid his still in them. He even painted the valves green and stuck them out of the bushes and glued leaves on to them so nobody could tell it was a still. But he still didn't have any water. He couldn't have a small electric pump, cause he didn't have any electricity. As it turns out, he now has 4 lengths of surgical tubing going down to the water, around his (superhuge) condenser. He made a rock and concrete dam about 3.5 feet high, to get a fast stream of suction. He then ran the tubes down to below the dam, and sucked on them. He siphons the water up and out of the creek, through the condenser, and back into the creek. His still is awesome! That thing can run as much as he wants it too, cause he isn't wasting any water, and it won't show up on any water bill. If you are going to be distilling a lot of stuff, you better make a tube going out of the bottom of the beaker so you can dump out the water and garbage and every now and then. Of course, connect it to a valve, so you won't loose any precious alcohol that's trying to turn into steam in the beaker. Make sure any tubes (like this one) aren't made out of glass and can melt. It's bad when tubes melt, cause that means you have to rebuild the still almost from scratch. Now that you've got it all set up and the corn (or whatever) is fermented and hooked up to the beaker, turn the valve on a bit to drip some puke of your Alhambra jug into your beaker. Turn on the sterno or bunsen burner to a high flame so it will heat up the beaker. Turn on the cold-water valve so you have cold water flowing around the condenser // // // "The Gates of Hell are open night and day; // // Smooth is the Descent, and Easy is the way.." // ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////
