Distillation techniques and designs that we have only recently developed and which have never before been published, and encourage readers to carry the torch further by using their own ingenuity. Home distillation is a fascinating hobby, and one which is fertile ground for those who enjoy exercising their ingenuity. It's challenging, and it's fun!
Worldwide, there is a growing interest in distillation by those who enjoy making alcoholic beverages, essential oils, botanical extracts and perfumes. We have read books that purport to describe how distillation works, but got it wrong in whole or in part, and some that detail how to build a particular type of still and operate it but which are based more on myth than sound scientific and engineering knowledge. We came to the conclusion that there was a crying need for a book that gives a detailed account of the entire subject, avoiding old wives' tales and dealing entirely in verifiable facts. We were proud to have recently received this tribute:I read your book.
Excellent work! As a teacher of Chemistry I must admit that this book is truly a teaching book of the highest caliber.

This book is a must have vor anyone who wants to learn more about distillation. It gave me a few ideas to improve on what I have. Some of the technical math may initially seem complex but it is explained very well, if read thoroughly I'm shure Anyone can figure out the best overall mash and still setup. But this book has way more than just scientific equations in it.
