partial grain is the easiest....its a baby bit more complicated than making tea, of which i know most of this forum is capable of. I've got most of the supplies to pull off full grain mashes, but am waiting til I have everything in 5-8 gallon capacity to start playing.

as for distilling high gravity ethanol, just be smart about it. its similar to selling drugs, don't be an idiot & just consume yourself instead of attempting to distribute.
