it always catches me off guard at how people can make such shit videos. Multiple repetitions, mistakes that should have just been reshot, etc etc.
he must have been pissed when he uploaded it.

step 2, get a load of fruit
step 3, get a big bucket and sterilise it
step 4, blanche some fuit
step 5, put the fruit, a couple of Kg sugar, and some wine yeast into the bucket, seal and put one of those airlock bubblers on it
step 5, when the bubbling has nearly stopped add some more sugar, repeat until no bubbling even with sugar
step 6, wait until it gets clear then put into bottles and put those in the freezer
step 7, when really frozen take the lids off and let the first liquid run out until there is just ice left in the bottle
step 8, enjoy your redneck vodka that cost almost nothing except a bit of time.
Now you don't have to watch the video

the problem is that a lot of the shit things like methanol, esters, alhehydes also get concentrated, which can lead to blinding headaches or worse. But it's cheaper than heat distilling, you just need a freezer or leave it outside if you live somewhere snowy.

it's redneck vodka. It's shit, but it does the job.
You can do proper distillation (throwing away the first bit) if you like, and you'll get a much better result. If you then filter it through charcoal, you'll get a much smoother result.
Of course, you could just buy some cheap vodka and filter it through charcoal a few times...

Control by temperature at the point where the vapour exits the column, keep it close to 78oC.
(I was going to make a fractionating column with marbles until I decided my liver had had enough punishment).
Remove 1st and last 5% of distillate.
