Schnapsbrennen als Hobby

Distilling spirits is an art that is gaining more and more enthusiasts. With the right know-how, it's easier than one might think – and the results are often more original and flavorful than the conventional options from the supermarket. Hobby distillers can use their own fruit from the garden, test new recipes, and experiment with various ingredients – and use their creations as clever gifts. This book contains nearly 90 recipes, ranging from classic fruit brandies to more unusual concoctions, such as chili-infused spirits or a Christmas spirit made from ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and dried apple rings. Additionally, it provides expert information on the basic ingredients and the necessary equipment. The process of mash production is clearly explained, the legal situation is clarified, and common mistakes are discussed.
