Useful book might have some interesting tips

So, I am aware water distillers on eBay are being marketed as alcohol distillers, but is it safe?
For instance, if inkyhole boils at 70 degrees, then in theory what ends up in the distillation jar would be neat alcohol, ie deadly. So how do you end up with 40% ish lovely lovely brandy?
My question is put to the panel.

Reduce the strength by watering it down afterwards.
The main danger is an explosion.
You can also freeze it then throw the ice away. That might be safer
