Now hereâ€™s a volume you can really drink to!Â Somethingâ€™s brewing in these pages, and itâ€™s moonshineâ€”a word that evokes fascination, curiosity, and a warm sense of nostalgia. Never before has there been such a richly illustrated, thorough, and entertaining celebration of the history of making fine distilled spirits. Take a trip through moonshiningâ€™s past: travel from its beginnings as a pioneer staple to the dark days of prohibition, from quickly produced urban rotgut to todayâ€™s carefully handcrafted artisanal libations. Get in on the fun with how-to instructions that take into account all legal regulations and requirements before covering ingredients, building a still, basic distilling techniques, and dozens of recipes, all adapted for the beginner. Whiskies, brandies, grappa, schnapps: theyâ€™re all here, along with dozens of page-turning quotes, song lyrics, and vintage photographs and illustrations.
â€œMaking whisky or brandy is not the least bit difficult. Making something youâ€™d want to drinkâ€¦well, that may take some practice.â€Â Â â€”Matthew B. Rowley
