Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you seek to distil your own spirits in the traditional way? The Practical Distiller, was first published in 1809. It describes the methods for making whiskey and other forms of liquor from the 1600's onward. "The Practical Distiller" has some unique stories about some of the old distilleries, and explains many things that were no doubt helpful to the brewers of that day. Section one discussed yeast, how to know when it can be good or bad, how to renew it when it is sour, and the best yeast for daily use. A second section deals with hogsheads and how to sweeten them by scalding or burning. The third section covers how to mash and distil corn or rye, how to know when grain is scalded enough, and how to prevent hogsheads from "working over." Section four covers choosing the best malt and rye, how to grind Indian corn, hops, and building a malt kiln. Section five talks about singling, stalement, and distilling of different crops including buckwheat, potatoes, pumpions, peaches, turnips, and apples. Section six addresses the best methods of setting stills and preventing cracking, doubling stills, and heating more than one still with one fire or furnace. Section seven covers how to clarify whiskey and making Rye Whiskey, Apple Brandy, a Jamaica Spirit, Holland Gin, and country gin. It also discusses fining and coloring liquors, as well as a way to correct the taste of singed whiskey and gave an aged flavor to whiskey. The succeeding sections of "The Practical Distiller"discusses ways to prevent a fire in the distillery, duties of hired distillers, and profitability for the owner. The book ends with a number of general "recipes" on how to make honey wine, elderberry wine, "and excellent American wine.." While "The Practical Distiller" is primarily a historical book, it is fascinating to hear how things used to be done and how you can do it yourself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When I first entered on the business of Distilling, I was totally unacquainted with it. I was even so ignorant of the process, as not to know that fermentation was necessary, in producing spirits from grain. I had no idea that fire being put under a still, which, when hot enough, would raise a vapour; or that vapour when raised, could be condensed by a worm or tube passing through water into a liquid state. In short, my impressions were, that chop-rye mixed with water in a hogshead, and let stand for two or three days; and then put into a still, and fire being put under her, would produce the spirit by boiling up into the worm, and to pass through the water in order to cool it, and render it palatable for immediate use—and was certain the whole art and mystery could be learned in two or three weeks, or months at farthest, as I had frequently met with persons who professed a knowledge of the business, which they had acquired in two or three months, and tho' those men were esteemed distillers, and in possession of all the necessary art, in this very abstruse science; I soon found them to be ignorant blockheads, without natural genius, and often, without principle.

It is quaint and charming with just enough knowledge to make it fun to read. first American treatises on distilling Whiskey, Gin, Brandy, Beer, Wine and Cordials. The Practical Distiller is the first American treatises on distilling Whiskey, Gin, Brandy, Beer, Wine and Cordials. Chapters on distilling rye, corn, buck-wheat, apples, peaches, potatoes, pumpions and turnips. Most aspects of distillation are covered. In this clear and carefully written guide, Samuel McHarry gives us the step by step method of preparing and distilling our own spirits: from brandies, to cordials, to whiskeys, to beer, this book describes the processes and materials involved. A thorough overview of the numerous processes by which whiskey and other alcohol varieties are derived, The Practical Distiller is also notable for detailing the history of alcohol and safety precautions associated with myriad distillation techniques. "When I first entered on the business of Distilling, I was totally unacquainted with it. I was even so ignorant of the process, as not to know that fermentation was necessary, in producing spirits from grain. I had no idea that fire being put under a still, which, when hot enough, would raise a vapour; or that vapour when raised, could be condensed by a worm or tube passing through water into a liquid state. In short, my impressions were, that chop-rye mixed with water in a hogshead, and let stand for two or three days; and then put into a still, and fire being put under her, would produce the spirit by boiling up into the worm, and to pass through the water in order to cool it, and render it palatable for immediate use-and was certain the whole art and mystery could be learned in two or three weeks, or months at farthest, as I had frequently met with persons who professed a knowledge of the business, which they had acquired in two or three months, and tho' those men were esteemed distillers, and in possession of all the necessary art, in this very abstruse science; I soon found them to be ignorant blockheads, without natural genius, and often, without principle. "Thus benighted, and with only the above light and knowledge, I entered into the dark, mysterious and abstruse science of distilling, a business professed to be perfectly understood by many, but in fact not sufficiently understood by any. For it presents a field for the learned, and man of science, for contemplation-that by a judicious and systematic appropriation and exercise of certain elements, valuable and salutary spirits and beverages may be produced in great perfection, and at a small expense, and little inconvenience, on almost every farm in our country." -Samuel McHarry

Book excerpt: Published in 1809, Samuel M'Harry's Practical Distiller book was only the second American book on distilling! It documents the early days of the development of American Whiskey. It was published only 15 years after the Whiskey Rebellion had forced a number of distillers to move down river to Kentucky. American Whiskey was mostly Rye Whiskey. All distilling was batch distillation done in pot stills, as continuous distillation had yet to be invented! The most interesting aspects of M'Harry's book are the sections dedicated to the production of early American whiskey! M'Harry discusses the production of whiskey from all rye, two-thirds/rye one-third corn, half rye/half corn, one-third rye/two-thirds corn, and all corn! The use of corn documents the early beginnings of bourbon! (Though the term "Bourbon" had yet to be used as a general style term for this type of whiskey.) More early evidence of the coming of bourbon is that he advocates burning straw in the hogshead to "sweeten" the hogshead. This could possibly be the pre-cursor to modern day barrel charring! The book also discusses the basis for Tennessee Whiskey! At that time, the style of Tennesse Whiskey had not been defined, but it discusses the use of maple charcoal filtering in the production of whiskey. (Maple charcoal filtering is a requirement for the Tennessee Whiskey style.) He advocates the use of maple charcoal to clarify whiskey and to aid in giving it an "aged flavor." If whiskey is your fancy, there is probably not a better early American distilling book for you to read. Samuel M'Harry's Practical Distiller is one of the books currently being used by the archaeology team which is excavating the distillery site so that George Washington's Distillery can be rebuilt! The team required good period information about distilling and distillery setup, and M'Harry's book is one of the few good references from this period. This books is beautiful hardcover reproduction of M'Harry's book. Featured on the cover is a gold foil stamped image of an early 1800's pot still.
