Our DVD will give you a basis on how to make
ETHANOL FUEL , MOONSHINE / CORN WHISKEY, GIN & LIQUORS ... plus more!
It will teach you how to make a basic still and distilling of the first batch,
with the knowledge gained to help you gain experience in this form of art.
Our DVD contains in detail:
1. Building Home Stills and How to Distill Properly. The best guide on the market.
For starters our CD has 2 diagrams to make the basic stills without welding.
For starters we recommend one of them, very simple and of very low cost, that allows to control the bad alcohols.
For more sophisticated stills, the CD also includes instructions and step-by-step plans and pictures on
how to build pot, reflux and reflux valved stills.
Also included is a link to practical VIDEOS on how to make a copper still and moonshine.
How to operate the stills to distill properly is also explained.
A practical guide on how to correctly solder copper is added.
2. Mash, Fermentation and Moonshine
After building your still, these instructions explain thoroughly how to make and ferment the mash
and make moonshine.
Strictly what is necessary, without introducing any of the myths this subject is usually surrounded with.
No yeast needed unless you want to accelerate the fermentation, and do not expend on turbo yeasts.
A practical table with the quantity of ingredients to use for different volumes of mash is also provided.
3. Activated Carbon Filtering
A good distillation does not require activated charcoal filtering. But a good distillation requires a reflux still and
experience. For those that will use a pot still or the still without soldering that we recommend to starters,
charcoal filtering may be necessary. So how to filter properly with activated carbon is briefly but effectively explained.
4. Alcoholmeter Use and Correction Table
The use of the alcoholmeter or hydrometer for alcohol is pretty straightforward, but some tips are needed
and consequently given, as well as a correction table in case the alcohol you are measuring does not match
the usual alcoholmeter calibration of 68ºF (= 20º C).
5. Mead and Moonshine Recipes
All the usual recipes: Mead recipe, Black beards rum, Stonewall Southern whiskey, whiskey, rye whiskey,
good whiskey, JD's black label whiskey, Indian head-corn whiskey, watermelon-peach moonshine brandy,
watermelon-elderberry moonshine brandy, watermelon-grape moonshine brandy, welches frozen grape juice,

10. The Practical Distiller, by Samuel McHarry, 1809
McHarry's book is a classic, published in 1809. For some, he is the precursor of Bourbon (proposed the use of 1/3 to full corn)
and of Tennessee whiskey (proposed maple charcoal filtering). This book is a clear introduction to making whiskey, gin,
brandy and many other spirits, from rye, corn, buck-wheat, apples, peaches, potatoes, pumpions and turnips.
The treatment of early American whiskey, and its clarification and coloring, is particularly fascinating.
The book is a treasure chest of distilling secrets.

How to make a better and purer whiskey and how to convert it to gin following the methods of the Holland distilleries.

This work is a little bible of all the liquors, starting from the very plants' leaves and seeds, with precise formulas and
indications on how to make all the absinthes, sirups, anisettes, brandies, essences, cremes, etc.

13. Making Liquors without Distillation
Perhaps you also want to make liquors without distilling, and to experiment with flavoring. To that purpose we include
a nice and practical work.
14. Methane or Biogas from Manure and residual Biofertilizer
As alternative energy for the farm, we include literature on methods and plans to make digesters to process methane
from manure, and on how to use and maintain them. Asians are experts on this subject, consequently their digester
construction methods and processes have also been included, as well as the utilization of the resultant biofertilizer.
