There's some quite fascinating stuff on Youtube about DIY distilling. Some of the stills look like a cross between a saxophone and a work of art. Well worth a look.

I expected to see one of those wooden thingies you saw in stuff like The Beverly Hillbillies but it's stainless steel and doesn't bubble and shake.

There are plenty of the back-woods stills around, complete with hillbilly craftsmen to operate them. The illegality of it all is quite alluring, until someone gets poisoned, or blown up.
When I worked in Saudi Arabia the rule was that if it burnt with a blue flame it was probably all right

So what do people polish with this spirit? It sounds strong to strip the dirt of just about anything.

....here's one that I made a while back
...it's called Yadong, and is regarded as a cheap way to get rat-arsed. A bag of spiced herbs are but in the jar, then pour in some local Lao Khao (rice whiskey). Leave for a week or so to ferment then taste at your peril - wouldn't call it a 'session' drink. This one's been brewing now for several years, not sure if I dare try it any more - just for show really......
