Below you will find further details regarding the numbers necessary to get a dangerous dose of methanol. Moonshine doesn't have the same ingredient requirements as whiskey, but the numbers are still relevant to distillation as it relates to quantities of methanol:
Whiskey is essentially distilled beer. Beer (or wash) might have around 16 mg of methanol per liter. In a typical distillation run on our still, the distiller may start with 424 liters of wash, which means there would be 6.784 grams (which is 8.57 milliliters) of methanol in the full run producing 190 liters of distillate. In a spirit run, the distiller would have 424 liters of that, meaning 15.14 grams of methanol (19.13 milliliters) in the final product. If the distiller just didn’t make a heads cut, you’d still need to drink 34 liters of 143 proof whiskey to risk methanol poisoning. If you just drank the heads cut alone, and it contained ALL the methanol in the whole run, you’d still need to drink almost 2 liters.
