Inspiring book

There is a lot of good information on here for the beginning hobbyist. The book has a good technical information about the distilling process if that is what you are looking for, but it also gets to the point rather quickly which I appreciate. I have tried some of the recipes in the book and they have all worked well. I think the book is a good starting point but I have tweaked some of the recipes to for my personal preferences.

interesting guide

As a beginner I refer to it a lot. For me it was I needed to get started but wish there was a little more detail. Meaning if you don't know anything about distilling you need every detail even if it's boring.

Glad to listen this book....

The awesome study even if you are not going to make your own. Amusing, informative, brilliant for anyone interested in American whiskey in general, records, booze technological know-how, etc. Might make a terrific present or coffee desk e-book. Tough to place down, you may in all likelihood blow through it in an afternoon or that stated, I used it for recommendations to assist me to make whiskey. And it was proper.

highly recommended

A really cool alcohol recipe book. It`s easy to read. The step-by-step instructions are clear. All the ingredients are not hard to find. I guess it would be cool to surprise friends by inviting them to the party with custom made drinks. Definitely will try it some tome and definitely recommend this book.

Distilling...

This book, for the most part, contains information adapted towards refining spirits, so consider this before obtaining. The book contains a couple of samples to take after soul formulas, in spite of the fact that I do see the cluster sizes are somewhat odd to consider most specialists have the standard 6.5-gallon cans, which these formulas won't fit into without change.

good

I want to make my own vinegar from start to finish, so I needed to learn how to brew in order to go from start to finish. This book does an excellent job with all of it.
