Alcohol Distiller Handbook
The Alcohol Distiller's Handbook by Herman Willkie and Joseph Prochaska is a 195-page softcover reference covering the full process of producing ethanol from grain. Inside you'll find detailed chapters on milling, mashing, fermentation, distillation, distillers dried grain and solubles (DDGS), and laboratory control — the same fundamentals used in commercial operations, scaled down for the independent producer. Illustrations, charts, and an extensive appendix make it easy to use as a working bench reference rather than just a read-through. A solid pick for anyone pursuing fuel-alcohol self-sufficiency, small-batch distilling, or a deeper technical understanding of the craft.
