Here is how we did it.
Boil water and disolve as much sugar as it can hold into it
Fruit juice of your choice, make sure its natural, warm it up and mix in yeast
Let the sugar water cool, then mix in yeast and place into a sealed container that can take a little pressure. Then the hard part, let it sit for a few weeks to a month(I think we used to wait about 4-5 weeks, as I recall)
Last step is to boil off the alcohol, you need something to be able to cook it in and capture all the vapor, like the keg picture above. We used a pressure cooker with a hole taped into the top. Run the tubing through water to condense the alcohol and you are done. its not really that hard
Im sure this works. There are a bunch of ways to do it. We do sugar and corn meal, then yeast. We dont heat, just stir it good. We also dont use fruit juice, but have used real fruit a few times.

You need something for the yeast, we used fruit juice, some use other stuff. the fruit also adds some flavor

heating it allows for more sugar, more sugar means more alcohol
