There's some peroxide (carbamide maybe) that you can get at any brewing store. I'ts a powder. That's what I used to use.

The ultimate distilling website
www.homedistiller.org
best book on vodka still design is the "compleat distiller"
Best book on whiskey making is "making pure corn whiskey"
http://www.amphora-s....com/books.html
best commercial column (requires boiler building)
http://www.amphora-s...om/equip_2.html
Best overall setup for the price. (can be improved by mods)
http://www.brewhaus...._p/80000010.htm
simplest discrete distiller, easy to use

So'k..
last question frist..
Spend the extra $$ and get a 5lb bag of ONE STEP-NO RINSE food sanitizor. They should have it or something comparable at your homebrew store (if not yell at them and try a restaurant supply store) I've Been using the same bag for 4 years now, and I've never had a contaim problem since switching to it. Comes in handy for other hobbies too!
As for price, Intitial set up is a bit, but you can do All grain batches for >$10 if you buy grain in bulk and culture you own yeast. Even without all that I'm down to about 20-25 a batch, and I'd pay more than that for 2 cases of Great beer.
Go to all grain and kegs as soon as you can afford it, that is were the magic really happens.
as for recepies. I do hefe's quite a bit since they mature fast, like 3 weeks. and then just about everything else in equal proportions. Got 2 kegs fermenting for a wedding next week. A Red-Appricot Hefe, and a high point bud light wanna be. (mine has a little taste to it).
