Book Description
Book Description How to make beer, wine, liqueurs, cider and moonshine whiskey. The author dusts off over 30 years of experience to tell you how it's done. He not only tells how to make darned near any kind of beer, wine, liqueur and whiskey you can imagine, he also tells you how to make the equipment to do it with. 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!

5 out of 5 stars Anyone Can DO It!   July 14, 2008
I found this book great! It took the mystery out of homebrew and wine making. The cost of the book is well worth the money you would save if you are serious about making your own. The first project I did was to make wine and I did not need to special order anything to get started. I had everything I needed already. It was all found in my kitchen. The book tells you how to get started on the cheap and how to avoid the rip offs of home brewing. It has been one of the best do it yourself books I have purchased.



4 out of 5 stars Great book for roughing it... or not.   April 5, 2008
I bought this book because it was recomended everywhere I looked. I was looking for information on distilling ethanol. It is loaded with much more information. It is a guide for people trying to manufacture beer, wine, spirits and liquours. It is a great reference and the writer is funny and very knowledgeable. The only downside is that some of the diagrams and photos are dated. They are black and white. They are ok and the book is great. If you are ever stuck in the woods with a book... This is it. If you are looking to make any alchoholic drink from scratch. This is a great start. Also has a ton of recipes to make your favorite liquors from scratch. (Baileys irish cream and Kahlua) Many More. Highly recomended.

Well, yes, I guess it is, but as we all know, making alcohol is illegal. So, I haven't actually tried any of the recipes. They do, however, look good and I'm tempted. :)


5 out of 5 stars Awesome book!   December 8, 2007
The way this book is written is fantastic and makes for a fun read. The book is incredibly informative without being a complete bore or reading like an owners manual. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is interested in doing it yourself!


5 out of 5 stars Great humor   November 7, 2007
