I've come across distillation on the internet. Didn't know what it was, so I researched. What I found is that distillation is basically boiling your ingredients. The steam from the ingredients passes through copper tube into Liebig condenser which turns the steam into liquid.

I have a few questions...
1.) Does cold water have to be continuesly passed in the condenser?
2.) The liquid that is made after passing through the condenser is alcohol? Is it drinkable?

Drop me some help, diagrams, pictures, tutorials.
