Book Description

Moonshine! A word that evokes images of America's outlaw heritage. Making moonshine has been such a huge part of our culture that many historians credit it as one of the cornerstones of our nations foundations. How to make moonshine? Is quite likely the very question that brought you here. A yearning to learn the traditions that are in danger of being forgotten in the modern, digital era. I wrote this book to pass along the knowledge that was taught to me in the hills of Kentucky over 30 years ago. Along the way though I developed my own style. I boiled down what I learned and created a simplified style that any beginner can follow. I've developed designs that can be used right in the comfort of you own kitchen or out back in the woods! The truth is that Moonshining, aka "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! And a quick thank you to all my readers who have helped make The Home Distiller the best selling book ever on the art and science of making moonshine. Shine On!

A new generation of urban bootleggers is distilling whiskey at home, and cocktail enthusiasts have embraced the nuances of brown liquors. The Kings County Distillery Guide to Urban Moonshining presents whiskey’s history and culture from 1640 to today, when the DIY trend and the classic cocktail craze have conspired to make it the next big thing. For those thirsty for practical information, this book provides a detailed, easy-to-follow guide to safe home distilling, complete with a list of supplies, step-by-step instructions, and helpful pictures, anecdotes, and tips. The final section focuses on the contemporary whiskey scene, featuring a list of microdistillers, cocktail and food recipes from the country’s hottest mixologists and chefs, and an opinionated guide to building your own whiskey collection. “The moonshining world is notoriously full of orally-perpetuated misinformation and the legitimate whiskey industry is full of marketing lies and half-truths; Spoelman and Haskell have thankfully defied those traditions and released an educational book of honesty and transparency.” —Serious Eats

Book Description

Moonshine (also known as corn liquor or backwoods whiskey) is a clear, unaged, homemade whiskey. It is made from corn, though you can make it from other things, and has high alcohol content. Moonshine originated with Scottish and Irish immigrants and soon became a staple in North America. The name moonshine is thought to have come about shortly after this as people began making and selling it at night to avoid taxation. Illegal moonshine production is still in practice today, but licensed distillers also produce it to be sold in liquor stores. In this book “GUIDE TO MAKING MOONSHINE” I will be teaching you all you need to be able to make different moonshine recipes. The supplies, materials, skills and techniques needed to make your favorite drink from the comfort of your home. ORDER YOUR COPY NOW
