About this book
The title page of The Practical Distiller promises an introduction to making whiskey, gin, brandy and spirits of better quality, and in larger quantities, than the present mode of distilling produces. The title page also names the produce of the United States, such as rye, corn, buck-wheat, apples, peaches, potatoes, pumpions and turnips.
The title page adds directions for purifying, clearing and colouring whiskey and sundry extracts of approved receipts for making cider, domestic wines, and beer. The writer says he had frequently met with persons who professed a knowledge of the business, which they had acquired in two or three months, and that he soon found them to be ignorant blockheads, without natural genius, and often, without principle. Directions for setting the still call for a fender, a wall composed of brickbats and clay well mixed with cut straw, with a space of two inches left for the action of the heat.
