Product Description

Product Description

I wrote this workbook to pass along the knowledge that was taught to me in the hills of Kentucky. In this book I will take you, step-by-step, through everything you need to know to make moonshine and pretty much any other liquor in the comfort of your own kitchen. Home Distilling is a folk art that helped build this country. Together we can make it live again, and have a little fun in the process!

Cooking up spirits isn’t any harder then properly roasting a Thanksgiving Turkey. In fact it’s so easy that a redneck like me can do it. And folks if I can do it, then imagine what you might be able to create in your kitchen! Imagine the holidays when you pull out your own special label. Think of the drinks and dishes you can concoct. Open up a whole new world of creativity and step into the hobby of home distilling. There are dozens of reasons why people look into home distilling. Maybe you are looking for a new culinary branch to explore, maybe you just like the idea of knowing how to do things for yourself, perhaps you just like to keep the old ways alive or maybe you are just tired of our government telling us what we can and can not do!

For decades big liquor companies have used our government to convince us that distilling was dangerous. They tell us that we’d blow ourselves up or go blind, HOGWASH! These are superstitions used to keep them and their friends rich. You know what’s dangerous? Frying turkeys!

Seriously though, in this book I will cover all of those misconceptions and show you how easy and safe it really is. This book is designed for the beginner distiller and I take the time to introduce you to all the concepts of distilling that you need to get started in this new hobby. That’s the great thing about distilling, you can keep it simple or as get as complicated as you could possible want. This journey as all about where you want to take it.

Please be advised that this is for informational purposes only. After you read this you will understand just how easy it is to make your own Moonshine, Whiskey, Vodka, Rum or even alternative fuels. Then once you understand how easy this is, how safe and how stupid the laws that restrict this are, then you can contact your congressman and/or senator and tell them to repeal the laws that are only in place to protect big businesses. Believe it or not there are Moonshiners everywhere, we have a grand tradition that goes back to the first settlers. Many historians will even tell you that it was moonshine that built this country!

It's time to take back our heritage. Thank you for your support!

Jeff King

Moonshiners Unite!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Thorough! Feb 7 2011
By Sparkle - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I read this book last night. One of my friends has offerred to show me the ropes of distillation. The author seems to know a lot about this topic and it shows. In this book, he discusses the different types of distilling, the equipment needed when buying or making your own and the methodologies for producing the results. He offers up shopping lists, pictures and links to sites that can also be helpful. He does all of this with a charming style and a sense of humor.

He also offers some VERY important tips that prevent problems you would encounter if you were trying to just figure out on your own.

He includes some recipes - that include the ratios needed to produce product. Recipes for things like Whisky, Grappa, Scotch, Schnapps and Fuit Liquors.

He even tells you how to prevent your spirits from being "off".

I'll still be glad for personal instruction, but this book sure has helped me get ready for it and will be a great reference tool.

5.0 out of 5 stars Made up my mind Mar 9 2012
By Eric - Published on Amazon.com

After reading this book, I decided not to do distillation for personal reasons. The book helped me make my decision by being comprehensive, descriptive, and well written. No number of websites could help me with this decision... this book was well worth the price.

If you do have a genuine desire to distil spirits I HIGHLY recommend this book. Previous reviews mentioned a problem with diagrams (and the author addressed this in their comments), but my more recent purchase of this book had ALL diagrams present and detailed.

I want to thank the author for providing a timely revision of your best selling information.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Overview Sep 28 2011
By Richard I Nemling - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I think this book is a good overview on distilling. It is informative and not boring (at least not to me. The only issue that I had was that it refers to about 15 diagrams throughout but there are only 4 diagrams and they are not numbered. I considered giving only 3 stars because of this but since this book was so inexpensive, I though that maybe I was asking too much of it. In any case, I enjoyed it.

A simple rule of thumb for this is to throw away the first 50 mL (reflux still) you collect (per 20 L mash used), or 100-200 mL from a pot still. &quote;

Conical will allow the steam to escape easier, less reflux, more flavor. A flat surface will present more of a barrier and produce more contact. More reflux, less flavor. Round will give you something in-between. &quote;

Blue Flame Test! Take one teaspoon of shine and put a flame to it. If it burns with an even, consistent, blue flame its good to drink. If it is yellow or sputters its bad and you need to run it through the still again. &quote;
