How to Distill

This is the book. This is a great book that breaks down the steps in an easy to understand breakdown. It includes what items are required at each step and what is optional. This is my Distiller bible.

I am excited to have a book which doesn't spread myths, wives tales, and misinformation about distilling. The book is in plain language and easily read. If you've never distilled before, this book steps the reader through the process. The author has suggestions for useful equipment and still types. The book also has recipes for those who need a little more guidance, a glossary to learn the language of distilling, and an index to use this book as a reference.I've bought plenty of books about distilling before this one. They have been either much too technical, or overly 'folksy' with down home anecdotes to take seriously. I know this book will meet just about everyone's needs for distilling. With so much hardware out there for distilling, this book is a great information resource.

Scritto con linguaggio chiaro e semplice aiuta a approcciarsi a questo mondo fin troppo bistrattato in Italia. Consigliato a chiunque dal principiante al più esperto.

Distilling has always seemed to be a mystic art, a process that was passed along in rumours and with very little fact and lacked reference material. That has now changed with this book which goes into detail, but not in a way that will overwhelm someone who is new to brewing or distilling.It removes the mythes surrounding distilling and provides a really enjoyable read for anyone interested in alcoholic beverages.Processes involved are detailed clearly, with great images and practices. There are recipes to understand how spirits differ from each other even the different types of gin available. There is information about equipment needed and how to operate it safely to get great results.Even if you have no intention of taking up the hobby this book has something for those who want to understand how their favourite spirit is made, or if you want to get to grips with how it is linked to home brewing this book brings it all together in a clear and concise format.Certainly a book that I haven't been able to put down and I can see myself referring to time and time again.

At last here is a book for distillers everywhere regardless of whether you are a novice or seasoned expert. Clearly explained with lots of pictures and in a step by step format. The fears and mysteries of home distilling have been swept aside.I particularly liked the recipes for making various spirits made without the use of essences. This information is gold and unobtainable anywhere else.I hope there is a second book.
