Rock on man! 
gonna get back into making it. its a fun side hobby and so many different flavors. i loved certain wines with hash terps they went well togetherI mentioned keeping the temperatures a bit below 70F. The main reason is to keep fusel oils from forming... which are major contributors to hangovers.Done right, it still tests out at 18-20'ish%.
Yeast has a problem with alcohol content and excessive carbonation. If you can keep oxygen out of the process, keep things cool, and degass regularly, your yeast will only die off due to excessive alcohol. This means a higher alcohol content vs. a non-degassed version of the same must.
2 50 gallon wood some demijohns think they 14 gallon and some carboys did probably 12 flavors some were so tasty im gonna get back into making it
was a glass tube tester probably not the most accurate coulda been 18% still tho that is strong wine

I can share one I heard of, if that will help.
2 un-scented trash bags.
2 gallons juice (orange, apple, almost anything but pineapple due to bacteria?)
Can of peaches
Napkin
String or Rubber Band
Crack a can of peaches
Place the napkin over the top of the can
Tie it off with band or string
2 days later...
Double bag the juice
Dump the contents of the can of peaches in
Twist bag at halfway point and shake gently
Gently tie off bag so it can be untied easily
Set where top of bag will not leak if your knot was bad
Once or twice a day when folks are most likely NOT going to notice fermentation smells...
Gently shake and untie knot enough so you can degass and deflate the bag
13'ish days it'll be done
Filter/Or-Not and drink

How about tying it up on an angle so that the corner is pointing down and letting the yeast settle out for a day or two and then cutting the corner of the bag and blowing off the bottom layer, letting the clear hooch pour into a ready container??
Yeast can seriously wreck the guts in that amount, although that could be a beneficial deterrent in a prison setting...
pretty much all jail recipes ive heard of are bullshit.i guess that method would work but without yeast or sugar i cant imagine getting a decent buzz off it.probably get diarrhea bad too.but its jail.what you gonna do.i know people that did 20 years telling me bullshit how they got drunk in 2 days.i wanna tell them how stupid they are but its a waste of time.ive made "wine" with just grape juice,yeast and sugar.thats probably the easiest way to do it.I can share one I heard of, if that will help.

i didnt see anything about yeast in that recipe.wheres the yeast coming from?
I'm guessing that is what the peaches are all about...
oh.in that case it would work.dont know about prison but i did a week in the hole in jail for making hooch.not even worth it
And there's more where that came from
The only reason I can see to distill is to cut the entire portion of heads off with the foreshots and just keep the hearts.
Booze is generally cheaper to buy so unless you have fancy folk buying it or you are a pretentious snob it's a waste of time money and effort.
