I did set up a still, once.
Using a pressure cooker, it was quite simple & easy (altho, probably not safe). I used some very mediocre, homemade grape wine. The result was terrible !
Something that I might have tried was distilling it twice. Of course, storing it in an oak cask should have improved the flavor but what I had out of a household pressure cooker was absolutely not enuf to bother with. Maybe mixed with some wintergreen oil it would have been pleasant to have rubbed on my back
. Without the wintergreen , I had hoped that it would taste like brandy, but noooo.
