Topic: I'm thinking of setting up my own liquor still to be able to pay my way through college.

Universities are too damn expensive to pay for via normal means, and most universities don't allow for co-op until you completed your first year.
I would assume that the market for nearly (legally) risk-free, high-proof vodka for teenagers would be quite profitable.

192 proof moonshine vodka is way stronger than 80 proof storebought vodka.
And 192 proof would probably be taxed at around $27/winegallon and that's after forking over $600 to the government as well as having to file paperwork after paperwork in order to get approved.
I don't really know for sure, but at the local gas station, someone may sell it for quite cheap from what I've heard.

Web says moonshine is always cut with water to cut proof.

If you're transporting large quantities of the stuff, then it would be quite smart to dilute it.

Nah. It'd be the IRS that would be the real danger, with their fucking moral taxes. Again, this is just thinking about the act, it hasn't even became a conspiracy.

No, that would be far too easy and straight-forward. He needs to do something unusual and implausible.

Welcome to MHD the one stop shop for all your distilling and moonshine still supplies.
Everything you need and that includes this promise from the web site. "Distiller Towers and Boilers are protected by federal copyright Laws."
HaikerensGuide what more does one need then to be able to buy all this stuff and know you will be protected by federal copyright laws when you buy from that web site!

Nah. Student loans are rather risky nowadays. You can't even file for bankruptcy to discharge them like a regular loan. It would make more sense to rely on other things, like grants, scholarships and illicit business than to risk it with student loans.

I wouldn't trust that site, since unlicensed liquor stills are illegal. It's best to make one yourself and save yourself the trouble.

Have you ever noticed you consistently and effortlessly justify your own conduct, morality, and desire to break the law, but are very absolutist and judgmental of others in such matters?
That is a significant problem.

I gave the site a serious full read and this It is legal to own a moonshine still, but illegal to produce and sell alcohol without a proper license. Many home brewing enthusiasts use a high-tech version of a moonshine still to produce other distilled beverages for their own personal consumption.
Not one who believes everything I read on net I looked and this!
Spirits
You cannot produce spirits for beverage purposes without paying taxes and without prior approval of paperwork to operate a distilled spirits plant. [See 26 U.S.C. 5601 & 5602 for some of the criminal penalties.] There are numerous requirements that must be met that make it impractical to produce spirits for personal or beverage use. Some of these requirements are paying special tax, filing an extensive application, filing a bond, providing adequate equipment to measure spirits, providing suitable tanks and pipelines, providing a separate building (other than a dwelling) and maintaining detailed records, and filing reports. All of these requirements are listed in 27 CFR Part 19.

@previous (E) > 1. Americans can own a still, but it must be no larger than 1 gallon, and may only be used for water purification or the extraction of essential oils from plants. > 2. Dealers/manufacturers of stills in the United States must surrender any address or other info on any customer who buys a still to the BATF, when they request it.(no warrant is required.)

Give me the link re 1 Gallon to save me some time.
Using glass from Chemistry set up I have made small amounts. Tried making a Gin using all the elements listed on web and compared to store bought. Did not come close. Was a fun adventure. Gin because of the complexity so I had something to work with. All Vodkas taste different and there is no real benchmark.

Ah I did not read beyond what I posted.
Glass works great when it looks like this. NOT practical for batch processing. This is available in any University chem class.
