About this book
A Practical Handbook on the Distillation of Alcohol from Farm Products is by F. B. Wright, and covers the processes of malting, mashing and macerating, fermenting and distilling alcohol from grain, beets, potatoes, molasses. The book also has chapters on alcoholometry and the de-naturing of alcohol for use in farm engines, automobiles, launch motors, and in heating and lighting.
The text says that on a large scale alcohol is usually obtained from sugar beets, molasses or the starch contained in potatoes, corn and other grains. The text says the starch is converted into maltose by mixing with an infusion of malt, and that the maltose is then fermented by yeast. The text says that when all the contents of the still have been completely exhausted of spirit, the remainder consists of a cooked pulp, which contains all the nutritive constituents of the beet except the sugar.
