And stovetop stills are available online for very reasonable prices too. You can get two or three people to go in on one still. I think someone on this thread told me about the stills using a different persona. Thanks. Oh, and it is legal to make booze at home as long as you don't sell it but laws don't mean much nowadays.

I have a slow cooker.

Is it designed for making booze? I wouldn't want it to explode when you use it. Don't buy it from Amazon but you can see what's available on there and get an idea of the design. As I remember the smallest was eight gallons and that is a lot of booze: about 32 litres. Here is one that apparently makes moonshine, wine, and beer for US $195. That's a little pricey but you could make that price back with two batches. Have you ever had pure corn liquor?

Just in time for Christmas.

No, just a 5L electric slow cooker. Warm, low, or high, but no flame.

In time for Xmas? I wouldn't object if you sent one. I have few on my list, non of big importance, and couldn't afford anything else if I did. 2020 was my best year since 2007. I'm hoping 2021 is when I properly get on my feet again, even if more underground - this time in my own fucking country.

That's a great device!!! I'd get it now or the first of January for only $195 USD - but it's in the USA and I'm in Canada.

The only thing close to it on Amazon.ca is an upgrade from 23L to 55L for $385 CAD. On second look, the search missed it but they also offer 10L $225, 22L $285, 36L $325.

Your model seems a bit higher quality. Sure it's a big expense, but it's a worthy investment. A fucking 24 case of beer in Canada is approaching $40. I can't afford booze at all.

Very inspiring!!!
