About This Book

The treatise delivers a practical, step‑by‑step manual for producing spirits, simple floral waters, and compound cordials, combining methods of fermentation, brewing, distillation apparatus, and rectification. It describes how to draw alcohol from malt, fruits, molasses, and sugars, offers techniques for imitating continental brandy colours and flavours, and gives recipes adapted to both commercial distillers and domestic practitioners. Supplementary sections explain selection and preparation of botanical ingredients, the virtues and uses of preparations, and principles behind processes so readers can refine technique and scale recipes for small batches.
