Are you curious about how to make rum, whiskey, and moonshine at home?
Are you a bourbon aficionado? Would you like to learn how to safely and legally make your own home-brewed distilled spirits?


What if you could turn this new hobby into a unique craft micro-distillery business?


In this book, I will show you how to make your own homemade distilled spirits – safely and legally.
Imagine sipping a nice, strong, sweet peach-flavored moonshine over ice on a hot, sunny day. It’s something you take pride in that you made yourself.


Of course, practice makes perfect. The only way you’re going to make that perfect batch of whiskey is if you try!


I’ll talk you through the process of crafting your favorite spirits, from top to bottom, start to finish. This book assumes you’re making moonshine for the first time, so we’ll go over the extreme basics and work up from there.


We’ll talk about how Moonshining shaped this country and made the liquor laws what they are today. I will also strongly emphasize the safety aspects of this clandestine activity.


Once you are comfortable making your own hooch, I’ll even give you some advice on how to start your own crafted spirits distillery. Wouldn’t it be awesome to make a buck or two creating something that you’re so passionate about?


In this book, you’ll discover:
• The history and legal matters surrounding home distilling
• What the federal and state regulations say (plus an appendix of alcohol laws listed by state!)
• The safety precautions you should take, discussed at length
• What equipment you need to get started making moonshine and some possible places to purchase that equipment
• Each type of spirit, so you can explore all of the different variations, flavors, health benefits (yes, there are reported to be some) and myths
• The specific distillation procedures, step-by-step
• Nine unique recipes!
• How to test your moonshine, and I’ll list some final tips and advice
At the end of the book, I’ll tell you how to turn your hobby into a business. It ain’t easy, but if you have the ambition, anything is possible! I’ll give you a springboard to get started as I supply you with a sample business plan for a craft micro-distillery business.
Happy crafting! Shine on!
