I promise I will come and visit you in prison, where you will be withering away in a maximum security wing, convicted for illegal moonshining, blinded by methanol poisoning and suffering from quasi-permanent migraine attacks.

That got a laugh out of me this morning!

I jacked some cider about a year ago, I have one bottle left.
The cider was just ok, but the jacked stuff is really good.

Just drank an eisbocked pear/pippali mead. More peppery and in general much better than original version!

No health risks I am aware of besides higher alcohol level, but distillation is technically illegal without a license  :o

IANAL but I beleive there have been several rulings now by the TTB that freeze concentration is NOT distilling and is legal. This is because you are removing water from the alcohol instead of removing alcohol from the water.
