    yeah, i have one. but it requires building a still, and a lot of other effort. if you want to learn about moonshining, then check out the foxfire books. i forget which volume has the still in it, but its the only book i have. i think its foxfire 4

    but if you don't care about making traditional moonshine, and simply want extremely potent booze, you can get a still kit and a beermaking kit and just make some really strong wort with the cheapest malt you can find and use one of the super tolerant yeast strains to make it come out to about 20%ABV, then distill the alcohol from it. the beer itself will taste like shit, but you could make strong liquor from it.

    it won't be proper moonshine, though, so look into the foxfire books

    You can get a kit from http://www.moonshine.co.nz/spirit.html

    cheaper to build your own if you have any sort of fabricating aptitude.

    all the information you need is here http://homedistiller.org/ it was my bible before I started distilling. The book "compleat distiller" is a wealth of knowledge also.

    If you are looking at making traditional moonshine check out the book "making pure corn whisky" its got some nice traditional moonshine recipes.

    This hobby is not a quick and easy fix to get cheap booze but it is a hoppy which can supply you with quality alcohol at a fraction of the price if done right.
