”If you’re going to invest the $100 or so to get a basic equipment and recipe kit, then you’ll want to take care in ensuring that your first batch is brewed correctly.” –Rick Morris, HowBrewBeer

The Joy of Home Distilling covers nearly every facet of distilling:
Step-by-step instructions for the different processes, from bucket to bottle
The difference between spirit types and how to produce each
What yeast is, what it does, and how to ensure that you get a strong, complete fermentation
What distillation is and common misconceptions about the process
Legalities surrounding distilling alcohol at home
Carbon filtering—when it’s necessary, when to filter, and why you filter
Flavoring and aging your spirits
Keeping safety first when working with flammable materials, such as ethanol
Yeast styles and nutritional requirements
Different methods of distillation and equipment
Post-distillation process
And of course, fun drink recipes! (Try the Mudslide or the Cherry Bomb!)

Author Rick Morris, who has been selling distillation equipment for over 25 years, even includes his own recipes for different types of spirits and drink recipes. By learning not just how to distill, but also what is happening at each step and why it is needed, readers will be armed with the information they need to experiment with their own spirits and concoct their own recipes. Easy to understand even for a first-time distiller, The Joy of Home Distilling is sure to become your number one distilling resource.

Proof: The Science of Booze Kindle Edition

More Info

From the book description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

Named a Best Science Book of 2014 by Amazon, Wired, the Guardian, and NBC
Winner of the 2014 Gourmand Award for Best Spirits Book in the United States
Finalist for the 2015 PEN/E. O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award

“Lively . . . [Rogers’s] descriptions of the science behind familiar drinks exert a seductive pull.” — New York Times

Humans have been perfecting alcohol production for ten thousand years, but scientists are just starting to distill the chemical reactions behind the perfect buzz. In a spirited tour across continents and cultures, Adam Rogers takes us from bourbon country to the world’s top gene-sequencing labs, introducing us to the bars, barflies, and evolving science at the heart of boozy technology. He chases the physics, biology, chemistry, and metallurgy that produce alcohol, and the psychology and neurobiology that make us want it. If you’ve ever wondered how your drink arrived in your glass, or what it will do to you, Proof makes an unparalleled drinking companion.

“Rogers’s book has much the same effect as a good drink. You get a warm sensation, you want to engage with the wider world, and you feel smarter than you probably are. Above all, it makes you understand how deeply human it is to take a drink.” — Wall Street Journal

Announcing: Oak Aging for Spirits at William’s Brewing

All spirits when they come out of the still are clear, and some like Vodka and Gin stay that way. However, if you want authentic Bourbon Whiskey, Dark Rum or Tequilla, you must age the spirit in contact with toasted or burnt wood for 3 months to a year or longer.

As an alternative to barrels that cost hundreds of dollars, we sell toasted and charred woods that impart authentic barrel aged flavor to your spirit in a glass jar, with the added benefit of accelerating aging, as their is more wood surface in contact with the spirit than when in a traditional 55 gallon barrel.

This can be used with store bought spirits or your own.
