    - Use isopropanol or n-propanol
    - Don’t go outside aka self-quarantein
    - Stick to the basic rules as for example published on the WHO homepage
    - Distill your own moonshine

    I can tell you how to build a system of fermentation and distillation if you like. 4 x 25 gallon bins produce 10 gallons of 97% ethanol every 10 days. You will need a reasonably competent tech to construct it. No big deal.

    I believe I already sent you a message about that. 1Kg sucrose produces 1Kg ethanol but you must also factor in the cost of energy to run the still. 100 Kg of fermentation in a warm environment produces 10Kg of 97% ethanol every 10 days.

    The thing is this. It is going to take me maybe 4 hours of work to explain and draw diagrams and so on. First of all you would need to locate:
    100 or 50Kg bags of sugar.
    Calgon water softener or equivalent.
    Brewers yeast.
    Purified water.
    25 gallon bins with lids
    Syphon or pump sytem.
    (the above, for fermentation).
     5 or 10 gallon Pressure cooker
    A/C heat exchanger
    Extract fan
    Electric thermometer
    Flame free heat source
    Engineering work
    60 x 1 gallon glass bottles.
    (the above, for distillation)
    NOTE WELL:
    This is dangerous. You can become intoxicated if your setup leaks. You may have an explosion if alcohol vapour escapes during distillation. It may well be illegal. It is necessary to do minimum 3 distillations to avoid the inclusion of dangerous alcohols, eg methyl. This is NOT a project for you, if you lack chemistry/physics qualifications and it DOES need a competent engineer.
