This manual is intended for the craft whiskey distiller who aims to make excellent-quality malt whiskey through artisan distillation methods. This manual describes, at the craft level, the process of making whiskey. It gives detailed instructions on how to distill one barrel (53 gallons) of 120-proof malt whiskey. The reader learns about the principles of distillation, types of stills, and the process of distillation. The manual also goes into detail about how-to make head and tails cuts-the elusive operation that a distiller needs to learn in order to create a world class whiskey. Most important is the chapter on mashing and creating a barley wash for fermentation. The all-grain recipes in the manual are adapted from the mashing (brewing) process used by commercial malt whiskey distilleries. Finally, the wash will be distilled using the double-distillation method employed by most of the renowned malt-whiskey producers.
Craft of Whiskey Distilling Reviews
-
简单实用的指导手册，连成本估算都给出了。
亮闪闪的罐子好漂亮。
原来这样的“认真简笔画风”的插图也可以挺好看。
机翻一遍细读一下later。 -
Probably only worth 2 1/2 stars.
Book is riddled with spelling errors.
This book is intended for people wanting to build and operate a commercial whiskey still, not the casual home-brewer. This book does go into some of the thermodynamics of distillation, but could have been written in a clearer manner. I have a much better idea where flavor comes from in whiskey, but wish I knew far more than presented here.
After reading this book I came away with the impression that craft distillation was indeed a craft, and way less a science.
