Put the mixture of water and alcohol in a container cover the container with a lid that has a tube coming out of it, warm up the water enough for the alcohol to evaporate, run the resultant vapor through a length of tubing to allow it to cool . alcohol should be coming out of the end of the tube. This is a simple explanation on how to make a still. Take care these thing have been known to blow the heads of the unwary.

The factors that affect the rate of evaporation of alcohol are the exposed surface area of the alcohol, the temperature of the surroundings, and the other particles that are present in the alcohol. The vapor pressure affects the rate of evaporation of alcohol.
How do you separate alcohol from fermented sugar by the process of evaporation and condensation?
The process in which alcohol is separated from fermented sugar is called distillation. In this process, the mixture is heated to the boiling point of the alcohol and the alcohol vaporizes and is then condensed back into a liquid inside of a condenser coil, and then is drawn off into a different container.
