Home Distillation
Handbook
How to distil quality alcohol at home inexpensive and safely
Disgusted with the high price of Alcohol?
The price of these items is
only high because the so called "Sin tax" amounts to over 80% of the
net cost . Virtually anything
can be distilled and refined! Run it through the still, add a little sugar, and
you have brandy at about 45% alcohol. It will knock
your socks off!! Try Multiple runs; if you ran that brandy through again you
would wind up with a distillate containing upwards of 75%
alcohol.
This Book Covers all the ins and outs of making your own alcohol in the privacy of your home. Contains over 80 pictures and diagrams to help explain the process of Home Distillation. Also includes a list of the equipment you will need to pick up at your local hardware store to make your still and easy to follow instructions on building your still. It also includes recipes for making your own whiskey, vodka, rum, moonshine, beer, wine and hard cider. 90+ easy to read pages.
