I read the article carefully, maybe you should do so:
" . . . the biggest risk is lead poisoning, since a homemade still might consist of car radiators or pipes that were dangerously soldered together. One study in the Annals of Emergency Medicine in September 2003 found that more than half of moonshine drinkers have enough lead in their bloodstream to exceed what the CDC calls a 'level of concern.'"
Instead of lead pipes, I'd suggest something more along the lines of these.
