One of the other uses for high grade alcohol that might not have been mentioned is as a solvent for tinctures. I am hoping to promote skills like these (will resteem on @ecoknowme) as well as plant based medicines... which might need alcohol to extract specific medicinal compounds. One thing you could try after you make your moonshine is to put a few handfuls of sliced Reishi mushroom (or something that has the properties your body might benefit from).
Here is an article I wrote about my idea to promote and propagate our own medicines within the Steemit Community itself:

Maybe a new era of home brews will be coming thanks to you! Really nice post @gardenbsquared
