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."
