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.

i hope you did some reading up first or knew how to do that without poisoning yourself?! it is certainly one of those things that if you just went into it and drank everything that came out you'd be in for some trouble eventually...
