Textbook - The Lore of Still Building

A primer on the production of alcohol for food and fuel

If we included the whole body of knowledge on the subject of STILLS and DiSTILLation it would require at least a few dozen large volumes to print it all. On the other hand you can carry this book in your pocket and when you finish reading it you'll likely know everything you wanted to know--and probably more!

PREFACE

In just a few short hours it will be within your power to construct your own efficient and economical still. You will be able to build a small stiff for the production of alcoholic beverages or a larger version for the production of fuel energy. Gasohol is only one of many possible solutions to the fuel shortage explored in this single explosive volume.

Home wine and beer-making are both legal in the United States, Canada and Great Britain. Home Distillation (operating a still) is not legal KNOWING how to distill is not illegal, but the DOING is!

However, a variance to the Distillation law can be obtained in the United States for the experimenter who wishes to build his own still for producing fuel This variance does not allow the production of beverage alcohol although there is no difference between the two.

Although it is now illegal to distill at home for your own use there is a very good chance that this part of the law will be changed in the future. The same statutes that govern the tax on alcohol also govern the tax on tobacco. Yet it is not illegal to grow and smoke your own tobacco. This is only one of the many inconsistencies in the law that may very well undergo modernization in the future.

Serious energy shortages have added even greater pressures for the releasing of the legal taboos on the freedom to distil. When such changes are legislated this informational book will then become a valuable textbook to the home distiller.
