Answers:
My hubby is the home brew guru (for beer), he's done it for 20years+ No you can't make spirits with the same techniques as home brew, you need to distill spirits, but be aware, distilling spirits is illegal in most places, so check it out with your local authorities before you go ahead!. It can be dangerous if you don't know what you are doing with spirits, they have been known to explode, so research carefully!. There are a few things like Baileys etc that can be made very easily without a still, these recipies are available from your local home brew retailer!. They would be you best start for advice and what is leagal/or not to make from home!. My hubby only does beer, but he has friends who have tried other drinks (mostly unsuccessful) it takes time and patience!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

With a homebrew kit you can make any beer style that you are interested in making!. You will have different levels of success based on the type of homebrew kit and the recipe you are using!. For instance, a basic homebrew kit is designed to make extract beers - meaning that you use malt extract in place of malted barley (or other grains!.) These kits are very good at making darker or full-bodied beers, but are not very good at making light beers!. All-grain brewing kits can be used to make any type of beer!.

To make spirits, whiskey, bourbon, you would need a still!. There are a lot of online places to learn how to do this, but, as others have noted, this is illegal in most states!.

If you would like to produce a high-alcohol beer, however, you can use a very basic distilling method!. Ferment your beer completely, and then put in the freezer!. Allow the beer to freeze, and then scrape off the ice particles!. Keep doing this until no ice particles remain!. This will produce a fairly high-alcohol beer!Www@FoodAQ@Com

With a typical economy brew kit, you can make beer with all kinds of different flavors!.

To make spirits, requires a still!. The still provides the ability to distill the alcohol by heating,evaporating and then condensing the purer liquor!.
