Heyyyyy.... we made it when I was in high school! LOL! Times were different back then.

Run the steam through a condensor and the droplettes should be pretty strong stuff. Ours burned nearly clear when we made it in high school. Distill it VERY carefully, paying attention to the temperature. We tried to hurry our batch. It made for some stuff with a NASTY taste. We didn't try to drink it or anything, honest!
