Book Description
Ever wondered how a still is made? There are 8 types illustrated in this book and though it's illegal to build or possess a still, the illustrations are so complete, you could easily do it! This book includes plans and operating instructions from underground moonshiner manuals used in Mid East oil fields. Some are built with components found in most home kitchens. From moonshine, homebrew, wine and liqueur recipes, to stills, make your own cappers, kegs, scales and even a malt factory from an old freezer, it's all here!
Easy to read and humorous, this book entertains you with Alaskan tales and bootlegger's lore while you learn to make everything from beer and blossom wines, to horse turd whiskey and bathtub gin. If you could buy only one "make your own" book for the rest of your life, this is it. It's like getting a whole shelf of books for the price of one!
About the Author
An ex-Green Beret, Leon came to Alaska in 1973. Assigned to the U.S. Army Northern Warfare Training Center at Ft. Greely where he met his wife Scottie. The crew now includes a son, Leon Jr. studying for a degree in Computer Science and an incorrigible little green bird named Jessie who "punctuated" almost every page of the draft book.
The aim of this book is to explain how to make all types of alcoholic beverages in an easy to understand and entertaining manner. It stresses the arts, not the science, steers you toward using wholesome natural ingredients, rather than chemicals and shows you how to make, rather than buy most of your equipment. It has an Alaskan Bush flavor by virtue of many of its tales and recipes, but the "how-to" information is universal and applies anywhere in the world.
Making alcoholic beverages is a simple and natural process practiced since condominium meant cave, but for safety and best results, there are some things the novice must know and understand about making everything from champagne to corn squeezins. Read the first page

Best and funniest book on making beer, wine and whiskey I've ever read.,
By Jason Sehn (Calgary, Alberta) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Alaskan Bootleggers Bible (Paperback)
I started out helping my Dad make wine from the orchards and farms around my home in the Okanagan Valley, British Columbia at least 20 years ago. There were some rudimentary to advanced books that he had that showed us the general idea of how to it, but we never found any one book that covered every aspect of making ANY kind of drink you can imagine. Honestly, if anyone had just one book in their arsenal to make top notch brew of any family be it beer, wine or spirits one should look no further than this text. Not only is it tremendously informative from a no nonsense, hands on, make your own world class brew and brewing/weighing/bottling/distilling etc. etc. tools for a fraction of the commercial cost, but it is also funny as hell. It is well sprinkled with colourful anecdotes, history, and folklore and never ceases to entertain as well as enlighten. If me and Dad would have had this some 20 plus years ago we would have never had to read another book on the subject. Whether you are serious about making better brew than you can buy at any store for any money or you just like a great read, you need this book!

A Book with a Kick,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Alaskan Bootleggers Bible (Paperback)
This was the Compleat Works on home brewing. I was looking for research material that would give me a fair idea on the mechanics of non-commercial distilling for a writing project, and after looking at several books, I chose this one, thinking I would be reading the least objectionable one. When I got it I sat down and read it right through and finished up with a good read and a reasonable knowlege (as in from 0 to 60 in 45 minutes) of the subject. The good read part is amazing, but even better is the information, which is given clearly and succinctly, without any techno-blather. By the time I got to the end of the book, I felt that I not only knew enough to brew my own, but suddenly I had the urge to do it. Thanks, Leon!
