delaware_phoenix Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Maybe this needs a whole section of it's own, but since there isn't I'll post here. I know I'm always interested in books on distilling, how they made liquors in the "old days". Of course, it was better back then. I can't remember what I was searching for, but I ran across this book on books.google.com Chemistry and Technology - Wines and Liquors by Karl M Herstein 2007 (humm, actually 1935) New reprint. Reading on line seemed interesting. Apparently it's been republished in 2007 (about $30 from Amazon and B&N; more expensive other places). Edit: At Project Gutenberg, they have online a copy of Samuel McHarry's 1809, The Practical Distiller. http://www.gutenberg.org/files/21252/21252-h/21252-h.htm And also Anthony Boucherie's 1819, The Art of Making Whiskey. http://www.gutenberg.org/files/21592/21592-h/21592-h.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Very nice finds; thank you for sharing em. I'd completely forgotten about Project Gutenberg. There must be all sorts of treasures buried there. -A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donald R Outterson Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I sell re-prints of three old distilling books for $37.50 + $7.50 UPS anywhere USA. We can ship world wide as well. 1) Leonard Monzert's Practical Distiller 1889 2) Manufacture of Whiskey Brandy & Cordials by Irving Hirsch 1937 3) Distillation of Alcohol & De-Naturing by F.B. Wright 1918. I have book reviews of these books that I wrote for American Brewer & Distiller a few years back. The old men were right and we need to learn all we can from them.
