  • Everything you need to know and then some.

    Starts right from the very basics in an easy to understand step by step process. Answers so many questions about how its done and why its done the way it is. I've followed the process outlined and have had awesome results. Explains many of the reasons to be careful and how to easily avoid problems others have had in the past. There are dangers in home distilling. This book will help you understand the dangers, and and turn your fears into the fun and "JOY" of home distilling. Well written and Highly Recommend....

  • A great book to follow to assure safe and predictable results for hobbyists.

    The only thing not mentioned in any real detail is Gin. All other spirits are covered. Perhaps not the best for recipes but the information is relevant and well covered. It’s not a moonshine book but details about everything related to brewing your mash and distilling. The importance of using distilled water in diluting, using a proofing parrot plus vapor temperatures to decide when to make your cuts is spot on.

  • Good reference

    Very good content. Book has emphasis on one main type of still. The regurgitating or bubbler still. I am just learning the different types and uses and which type to possibly buy or make. Solid reference manual
