Make Your Own Hooch?

Posted by Lia Bulaong, January 30, 2007

Garbage Bag + Rice Cooker = Alcohol Still: "A still has two parts, a boiler and a condenser. A rice cooker/warmer makes a great boiler. It's got a rubber gasket so all the steam goes out the vent. It's insulated so all the heat goes into the mash. A plastic garbage bag makes a great condenser. It's got lots of surface area, cooling and condensing the vapor very quickly." I've never thought of bootlegging as glamorous exactly, but garbage bags and rice cookers are not materials I think of as mysterious or sexy—your mileage may vary.
