I wouldn't really expect Russians to do something with utmost care, yet if I were brewing for drinking I would take some care that maybe I wouldn't if I were only brewing alcohol fuel.
I do remember back in my school days, a chemistry teacher explaining why it was dangerous to attempt brewing moonshine, which is still fairly usual in Brazilian prisons despite being a disciplinary fault, with some inmates being often reported intoxicated due to some methanol content on moonshine.
But anyway, if I were homebrewing my own booze, I would be careful, and I know about discarding the "head" and the "tail" in the cachaça brewing, as those tend to concentrate most of the impurities - which may include methanol.
