The Joy of Home Distilling: The Ultimate Guide to Making Your Own Vodka, Whiskey, Rum, Brandy, Moonshine, and More (Joy of Series)

This is a very good book to read. A lot of information for a beginner and much more. The only bad thing I could say about this book is that it needs a few updates.

A lot of info on distilling everything of drinkable alcohol imaginable. I bought this book cause it was cheap and I couldn't be happier with some of the wine I have made in home recently.

I almost feel bad leaving this review, because I really loved the book. And the book/authors will be affected most by this review. So I'll just say - if you're looking for a book on distilling, buy this one. Absolutely great read. Super informative. This book was exactly what I hoped for when buying. So why just 4*? The condition of the book. I bought it with a few other items (not books), so when it arrived in the box it was completely bent out of shape. I tried to flatten it out, to no avail. And that made it super annoying to read, with extreme curvature of the pages. Again, this reflects ZERO on the author - what an amazing book. But I expect that when I order a book, it doesn't arrive to me completely broken without any fix.

I have been interested in learning to distill alcohols for a few years...I already make wine so this seemed to make sense as a new hobby. This book so far is really good. I know very little about distilling but this is teaching me so much. It is written in simple, easy to understand language and goes through the whole process. It includes recipes and really everything you need to know to at least get started. I'm sure there are plenty of higher level books out there...but if you are a novice like me - this is a great way to get started.

Very informative and simple to follow instructions

Works well and easy to use. Well made good quality

Great guide to the basics of brewing and distilling. Enjoyable written, it guides you through from the first steps to finished products. Highly recommended.

Not up to date

Me ha dado herramientas suficientes para comenzar a destilar. La información es muy buena y completa, lo recomiendo muy ampliamente.

Whereas an experienced distiller might find this book far too basics, it is instead excellent for a beginner. Concepts, equipments and techniques are explained nicely, and the writing is pleasant too.

Si perde più in aspetti non direttamente legati alla distillazione. Niente di fondamentale per chi vuole conoscere le tecniche di distillazione

Very, very informative book. To get the most out of it you will read specific sections over and over again. Complete coverage of all types of distillation processes and units. A very good form of information.

Best book for beginners. I’ve brought 3 books, all three had great reviews and this was by far the best. I searched a while before buying all three, trying to find the 3 best and this was the best of the 3. It’s written very simple and straight forward. Goes into enough detail to make it informative. And the structure of the book is perfect. Some of the other books I’ve read seem to be a bit muddled. Everything in the book flows and by the time you get to the end all bases have been covered
