It’s a lot cheaper if you just make your own moonshine instead. Guy on reddit used to post pictures of his 100L water butt bubbling away, cost something stupidly low to fill it considering the volume, like £25 or something like that. Then he distilled it in batches.
The entire setup was comically simple too, like plug and play from parts you can easily buy and ingredients you find in any supermarket.
It’s definitely dangerous if you don’t know what you are doing. As in, “you can die” kind of dangerous.
But if you know what you are doing, nah, it’s perfectly safe, and kind of easy to do too.
Probably most definitely illegal in most places too, but if you just shut the f up and don’t blabber about it to everyone you meet or try to sell or give it away, there’s pretty much nothing they can do about it, cause they don’t know about it, and neither does anyone else.
This is largely false and due to prohibition era propaganda. You would need to be trying very hard to get enough methanol to be dangerous or deliberately add it.
Not as cheap as just plain alcohol. But yes, I home brew. Hops and Malt are not cheap, but sugar (insert any fermentable here, rice, cane sugar, corn, potatoes ext…) is.
My friend back when i was like 20 used to just brew some stuff using Alcotec TurboYeast and sugar, and then mixed concentrated fruit squash into it. Came out as like 12% and tasted like fruits, cost under 10p/litre. He was popular at parties

Isn’t that kinda dangerous? Also potentially illegal depending on where you live.

It can make you blind due to high methanol concentrations

Reminds me of a joke I’ve heard from a few people now. “Let’s drink faster, guys, it’s already getting dark.”
Sure, if you don’t know what you’re doing. But, as we eliminate all regulations in the US, we gotta learn how to DIY.

Sure, but anything that involves drinking spirits by the pint is going to be dangerous so who cares?
Only illegal if they catch you. He didn’t record his face.
You can brew your own lager or whatever for cheap too.
Not tried anything like that, generally prefer fermented fruits and bee juice.
