Just be aware that running a still in your house (and if the Feds get wind of it) will result in a seizure and forfeiture of any and all property that the still is on. IE, if you were to do it in your house, they could take it, and if you were to just do in on land that you owned, they could take that too, and anything on it (such as a house). Draconian as far as I'm concerned... And I only recently found out that ANY form of raising the alcohol content is a federal crime. This includes freeze distilling, which is the way Apple Jack is made. Hard cider partially frozen and then having the ice strained out. Completely illegal. While it would be fun to distill on your own, I personally don't think it is worth the risk. Chris
