The Still I bought

this isn't the exact one im getting, but its basicly the same design; its just a cheap plastic still that can make 40% alcohol, it makes about 500-750ml per day which is about 26 oz or one wine bottle per day. I will have about 46 liters of 20% alcohol before new years so I will have plenty of booze to distill. I think if my calculations are right I should be able to make about 24 750 ml bottles of 40% alcohol and it will cost about 60$ for every 24 bottles.

Me, I buy a brewing kit or wine kit from a local brewing store here in my hometown,and then buy a package like <<This>>. you should get a big platic bucket to put all your ingrediants in, you need 8 kg of sugar, you mix it with 23 liters of luke warm water, and stir it all up real good, from there you put the package of super yeast that you got in the package you bought, and put it in the bucket with all the sugar water. Then you put it the cover on and leave it for 7 days, it will ferment like crazy for those 7 days, then you stir it real good and transfer it over to the big glass bottle that comes with your wine kit, and put the airlock thingy on top and leave it in there for another 7 days. And then finally with that package you bought there shoudl be a clearing solution that comes wit it, you put this shit in as it says on the package and stir it up real good, and all the shit (yeast and crap that noone wants to drink) falls to the bottom and you just transfer it over back and forth with your syphening thing you get with your kit and it should be relatively clear, but will still have a yeasty flavor to it.
anyway, sorry for the short and sloppy description, but thats basicly how you can make 20% alcohol in 2 weeks. If you have any brewing or wine shops near by, check them out and they will more then likely have this super yeast stuff that can make it, they can tell you more about it and how its done.
I'm going to do another kit soon, and I'll post from start to finish with picture and the whole deal.

Nice going. I was just at a wine tasting party yesterday, at a friends house, and she buys those kits. It really surprized me, every kind she makes was really good. The best was the Ice wine.

Yeah, I'm a member of that forum, there more hardcore into distilling thought, more like the old moonshine type stills, I wouldnt want to make anything more then 50% alcohol because theres a greater risk of alcohol poisoning when it comes to alcohol thats really strong.

Isn't it a lot easier (and safer) to go to the liquor store?

It was a sweet, fruity wine. The grapes are left on the plant longer that usual, to build up more sugars in them I know thats not a taste everyone likes, but I like a sweeter wine, than the high tannin reds.

Well it's easier, and maybe a bit more safer, but not cheaper. Homemade booze is relativly safe though, theres not many ways to make bad booze, unless you get some kind of fungus or mold growing inside the mixture, but thats why most kits really put emphasis on keeping your equipment clean and sanatized before and after using it.
