How to make spirits!

[Tezauzz]

The key to avoid nasty methanol (if not used for E85 fuel that is) is to distill it twice more at higher temperature. This will remove the fusel oils, ethers, aldehydes etc. Moonshine is very basic to make but can be lethal if not watched.
For a good all-round read on everything to do with natural home brewing and distilling I recommend a book called "The Alaskan Bootlegger's bible".
Brilliant book
