Moonshine! It is, unfortunately, illegal for individuals in the USA to produce their own distilled spirits. But just because you know "how to" doesn't mean you "have to!" Moonshine is a interesting topic by itself and The Alaskan Bootlegger's Bible will fill you in on the details. There are eight still designs depicted in the book, from the traditional big copper kettle types to downright sneaky designs that can be hidden in any kitchen or even the desk drawer. The diagrams depict stills that were actually used to make booze and, at times, outwit authorities. After all, being busted with an alcohol still is always uncool. But even more so if it happens in a mid-eastern expat community where you could possibly be beheaded as punishment! Horse turds and dynamite! That's how you know you're drinking the good stuff! But seriously, did you know these were once actually used as ingredients in the making of moonshine? All you ever wanted to know about moonshine but were afraid to ask is in this book! That's One Way to Get "Crocked!" This simple design from the book illustrates how you don't need to have any elaborate equipment at all to distill spirits. Just what happens to be in the kitchen (plus a little ingenuity) will do! The Incredible Disappearing Still The production of distilled spirits has often been a clandestine undertaking. Possibly distilling is being done illicitly in a "dry" rural community. Or maybe the government of the foreign country one happens to be working in frowns on the partaking (much less making) of "strong drink." Pictured here, from the book, is a clever still design that, when disassembled, is nothing more than an innocuous collection of kitchen pots, jars and bowls. Make Booze Where It's Froze! Alcohol may be refined not only by distilling with heat, but also by freezing in the frigid cold. That is, if you happen to be "blessed" to live in a climate where alcohol can be concentrated this way. Apple cider, concentrated by the bitter cold, is called "Applejack" and is one of many recipes in The Alaskan Bootlegger's Bible. Moonshine! Crock Pot Still Disappearing Still Applejack Homemade Beer and Wine Making your own beer and wine is both easy and rewarding. The author shares the basics of how to do it in simple and straightforward terms. The craft of brewing, as explained by some, can be quite scientific and technical, which can be an obstacle to the novice who simply wants to "whip up a batch of beer." In The Alaskan Bootlegger's Bible you will find practical know-how and a plethora of recipes to get the would-be home-brewer up and running in no time! Make Your Own Brewing Equipment You don't have to be living in the remote Alaskan Bush to find yourself short on brewing equipment and supplies. If supply-chains are disrupted (it happens!) you may have to be clever if you want to make that batch of beer or wine. There is economy in being resourceful too. And some things you may want to do (like make your own brewing malt) may require you take matters into your own hands and just be innovative. In The Alaskan Bootlegger's Bible you will learn how to be self-sufficient with equipment and learn how to improvise the essentials of the brewer's craft. In the book you will learn how to: Make your own malt factory out of an old refrigerator Make your own naturally carbonated beer keg Make your own bottle capping equipment Improvise fermentation locks, scales and other homebrewing essentials Get Started Makin' Your Own! The author distills over thirty years of knowledge and experience into a single volume, The Alaskan Bootlegger's Bible. In it, the author shares how to make almost any kind of alcoholic beverage with humor and authority (and maybe a few tall-tales). There are over ninety beer, wine and liqueur recipes in this book, accompanied throughout by humor and sage advice on the craft of brewing. Learn to make corn beer like the ancient Incas or milk wine like Father Engel, the Wine Making Priest. Make metheglin, melomel, pyment or mead (otherwise known as honey wine). Impress your friends with your blazing hot pepper beer! There are eight still designs illustrated in the book. From the traditional alembic style to clandestine designs used to elude scrutiny by authorities, The Alaskan Bootlegger's Bible explores the often hilarious history and the (purely theoretical) application of the various still designs. Get started makin' your own with The Alaskan Bootlegger's Bible!
