So the "it" that is illegal was the building a still and refining the ethanol (double with sugar on)

Just out of interest - it's not too hard to make Methanol instead of Ethanol - it has the advantage that drinking it fucks you dead, so nobody can accuse you of making 'shine.

Not sure exactly how you ferment it - I guess you just need the right yeast culture.
