any advice?

Yeah. Don't. Especially not with something like corn liquor/moonshine - I've accidentally made methanol a few times.


I wouldn't mess with it(corn liquor/moonshine/whatever you want to call it) if I were you. If you do decide to try to make it, do a ton of research beforehand, and test it before you drink any. Nothing like drinking a nice glass of homemade poison(methanol). If I were you I would just go buy a home beer brewery kit, or something similar - unless you don't like beer. Good luck in making whatever you decide to go with.
 
I suggest that you just stay away from moonshine, unless you know what you're doing at all times and at all levels of intoxication.

So, I'm thinking about making my own alcohol, just to see if I can, any advice?

I'd say go for it.. Lord knows if I had the room for it, I'd be doing it... Knew a guy way back that made something that tasted, not completely unlike, gin that would get you pissed fairly fast ;) After that experiment, he started brewing his own beer. It worked, but that TASTED like piss :D

Just be careful it doesn't blow up in your face :mad:
 
My physics teacher used to own a home brewery shop where he sold stuff for peeps to make their own beer.
 
what kind of alcohol would be the safest, or easiest. And also, would i need to actually go out and buy yeast, or is that made when you let your ingerdients sit out?
 
There are kits for Beer and wine.
However, if you buy apple cider and let it sit, it will ferment into hard cider (alcoholic).
I'd also advise you to do some research as to how long cider has to sit before it turns hard.
 
A woman died a few weeks ago in Mississippi drinking moonshine and authorities are warning people not to do it anymore, now not just because it's illegal but a grave danger. You'd have to be freaking stupid, actually.
 
I'm an expert at it. I used to have my own pot still when I was drinking. Remember to seperate your "heads," "body" and "tails" in seperate containers.

See what happens when you don't seperate your "heads."

You're not even 18 yet... Methinks this idea = 👎

As an aside, am I the only teenager who doesn't get what's so great about alcohol? Do so many teens want it just because they aren't allowed to drink it? Oh, jee, I'm not allowed to shoot anybody – I'll love the day when I'll be able to!

No you're not. I always thought alcohol was pointless and a disgusting habit.

Teens nowadays want alcohol because it makes them look "cool". At least that's what I heard.

At your age, that is one of the stupidest ideas you could think up.

I'm 18. I couldn't care less if it's legal, or not. I don't want it because it's illegal for me to drink. Hell, that doesn't even cross my mind when I drink. Only time it crosses my mind is when it comes time to buy it, but luckily everyone in my department at work will buy it for me - including my boss. We usually all get together around 12:30am for a drink after work. Sometimes if there isn't **** to do we'll drink a half gallon of Crown, get real ****ed up, and have forklift/walkie/hyster/reach races.:odd:

It can be a pretty nasty habit. A buddy of mine at work is 23, and he puts down a 750ml bottle of Crown 7 nights a week. If he can't afford that he's on the CC - way nastier than Crown. :yuck: Drinking to be cool is ****ing retarted. I love giving non-alcoholic beer to kids who drink to be cool - then never let them live it down when they act all ****ed up. I only drink after a hard day of busting my ass at work, or when I'm chilling with buddies from work on the weekends.

My God you're a hick. Just a damn hick. :hick: <--- should be a smiley.

Well, no... my dad drinks wine with his dinner, and that's perfectly fine. If he feels like it, he'll pop open a beer for lunch or sometime in the afternoon. But the point being, he doesn't revere it – It's just a ****ing drink to wash the food down, not something all great and grand. That's what I don't understand – When a teen gets a hold of alcohol (which I've witnessed on several occasions), they get all giddy and think that it's the greatest stuff in the world. It's fermented hydrocarbons for krist's sake, not some magical drink that gives you a huge *****.

Sorry, I know I'm going a bit nutty here, but the whole deal is so stupid, especially when you consider how many people die due to a teenager who got a hold of some booze (every year at my high school, at least one student dies from a DUI accident that was their fault).

Real science... :D

A study was conducted into the psychosomatic effects of alcohol. Nearly everyone who had the placebo believed they were drinking alcohol and thus getting drunk - and so they did.

And these were "responsible adults".

What word could this be? Penis isn't censored, is it?

EDIT: Clearly not. So what's he trying to say? Let's put it to a vote.

Well actually, I meant drinking until you fall on your ass or something similar to that, not alcohol as a whole.

If you're of age and you drink responsibly, then that's perfectly fine.
 
Yeah, that's the word, but I assumed that it would be censored, so I just saved time and typed in the asterisks myself.

[edit]: Sn00pie can't quote! Sn00pie can't quote!
 
Because it's [usually] the kids who thinks they're badasses who go steal alcohol from their parents.

I should tell you. Chris drinks all the time.

I started out drinking apple-juice champagne. Now I poor down one bottle of aftershave after the other.
