Theoretically, yes, distilling is more dangerous than brewing. However, it is not more dangerous than, say, canning, deep frying, welding, operating a weed burner, or any number of other tasks a DIYer might do around the house and garage. If you can operate a pressure cooker, an oil lamp, and plumb a gas water heater, you can probably operate a still.

All things I avoid, due to the risk, and these are well designed to mitigate that risk.
