Story
A spirited narrative on the fascinating art and science of alcohol, sure to inspire cocktail party chats on making booze, tasting it, and its effects on our bodies and brains. Drinking gets a lot more interesting when you know what's actually inside your glass of microbrewed ale, single-malt whisky, or Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. All of them begin with fermentation, where a fungus called yeast binges on sugar molecules and poops out ethanol. Humans have been drinking the results for 10,000 years. Distillation is a 2,000-year-old technology - invented by a woman - that we're still perfecting today.

You’ve felt the feeling before — the one where you feel lost in the world, where you believe that everyone else has a place but yourself. And no matter where you are heading to, the feeling continues to follow you, creating a deep hole in your soul. Sometimes, people find their way, or at least they find a way to make themselves feel like they belong. Other times, people never truly find their mission or purpose, and they walk through their life feeling as if they are lost in a dark forest, searching for a light to guide them.

So he set out on a three-year journey to find the smartest solutions and the most cutting-edge research about families. Instead of the usual family "experts", he sought out the most creative minds - from Silicon Valley to the set of Modern Family, from the country's top negotiators to the Green Berets - and asked them what team-building exercises and problem-solving techniques they use with their families.

Guide to Building Your Own Still
I have no real experience but have been researching home distilling through multiple books. If you are in that category, this is the book for you. I feel I could use this book and a couple youTube videos and make my first run fine. I particularly like the advice in the build-or-buy chapter. This is the 3rd book I've gotten on the topic and this one is the best for me.

Vuage at best
Would you try another book from Richard Altman and/or Clay Willison?
No. Information barely touched the surface of distilling.
What was most disappointing about Richard Altman’s story?
Repetitive points. Horribly narrated.
Would you be willing to try another one of Clay Willison’s performances?
No
What character would you cut from Distilling?
The Author then the Narrator

Building Your Own Still and Making Your Own Whiske
This book, for the most part, contains information adapted towards refining spirits, so consider this before obtaining. The book contains a couple of samples to take after soul formulas, in spite of the fact that I do see the cluster sizes are somewhat odd to consider most specialists have the standard 6.5-gallon cans, which these formulas won't fit into without change.
