Good to know
The Alaskan Bootlegger's Bible belongs on the shelf next to your still, within reach in the middle of a run. Every alchemist keeps a book of references, and this one gives your copper workshop a printed companion for the hours you spend watching temperature and vapor. Old-time bootlegging and modern hobby distilling use the same basic tools: heat, copper and a careful eye.
Is The Alaskan Bootlegger's Bible a good fit for a new still owner?
If you like to learn from the page before you learn from the flame, a distilling book is a smart first purchase. Want to know what's covered before you order? Contact us and ask. We'll tell you what to expect so you can decide if it suits your goals.
- Read before you heat: with a reference on hand, you can plan each run instead of guessing at the burner.
- Pair it with a notebook: write down your own temperatures, timings and results next to what you read, then compare.
- Keep the law in view: owning a still is legal in the US, but making spirits requires federal TTB permits. Distilling water, essential oils and permitted fuel alcohol are other common uses for a home still.
- Gift idea: a distilling book is an easy add-on for the copper hobbyist in your life.
