Steven Molaro achieved 14% with his white prison wine. Scroll down to Vol. 8, taking note of the other interesting consumables as you go.
Vile!

The easiest way is to stick a bottle of wine or a can of Euro-wee in the freezer. The water freezes and the alcohol is left with the colour and flavour. Be careful though when you open it because the increased volume of the ice produces pressure inside the container.
Gives a whole new meaning to "getting shoot-faced..."I've actually heard of alcohol being fermented from human faeces in prison....
Indeed and it is not always funny
I've been following this thread but whatever any one says, I'm still going to buy my Sauvignon Blanc from the local offie.
That's all as mebbes, but have you actually looked into this at all?I reckon so. Commercial spirits start off at high alcohol content, cask strength, and are watered down to 'bottle strength'. All you are doing is reversing the process. There should be no chemical changes if the mix is not in direct contact with the heat source e.g. an immersion heater. A water bath is perfect as the alcohol evaporates at around 80 degrees. The alcohol evaporates first taking a tiny amount of water with it - you can never obtain 100% ethanol by distillation - the last of the water has to be removed usually by using concentrated sulphuric acid as the dessicant.
The main problem with distilling is making sure that you don't allow alcohol vapour to built up and no open source of ignition or static electricity build up is allowed; 3% v/v with air is the lower explosive limit and more than one garage roof has been lifted from the walls by folk using gas rings as the heat source with their stills.. Doing things out in the open air is safer but more easily spotted.....
......and if I ever get banged up in prison, I'll get Mrs R to send me a bottle or two inside a cake, along with a file.

@PaulB I know of a place not more than ten miles from you where hooch is being distilled in full public view.... but in such an unexpected way that nobody would ever guess. Could tell you but I have actually been warned to keep my mouth shut!
You shouldn't smoke and should flameproof the electrics in your distillery, or risk being blown up like these guys:

CO binds to haemoglobin in a most tenacious fashion and denies oxygen that facility in a remarkably short space of time.
