Another lot of material from the archives.

Modern Moonshine Techniques has three sections: First is how to use sugar to distill a "moonshine." Second, how to build an inexpensive corn cooker and make corn whiskey. Finally, and most importantly, this book, with text and illustrations, shows how to build a mash tun to create a grain whiskey wash. And, then instructions to distill that wash into whiskey. Written Bill Owens

Find interesting apple wood chips


Unlike Virginia Lightning, which is bottled just after distillation, Kopper
Kettle Virginia Whiskey undergoes two stages of wood aging. The first stage exposures
the spirit to oak and apple wood chips in a large converted stainless steel
dairy tank. After sufficient exposure to the wood in the above tank, it is moved
to charred barrels to age for an additional two years before being filtered and
bottled. He now sells 4,000 cases per year of his combined product offerings.
