StillCooker is a site about building your own still and producing your own alcohol. It has some great pictures of various types of still, information about building your own, how to make a moonshine wash, safety tips, and lots more useful information - check it out!
Here you’ll find liquor and liqueur essences, candy shots, turbo yeasts and supplies for distilleries, home distillers and home brewers. Our goal is to produce the worlds best essences and turbo yeasts and to sell only top quality. Our assortment of essences is the world’s largest and the same top quality we sell to distilleries. You can also get the best activated carbons, Rashig rings, supplies and German glass instruments here.
We gladly share our 27 years of knowledge. Many inventions in this field (like Turbo Yeast) originate with us. Read about Turbo Yeast. Learn more than some competing turbo yeast manufacturers. Learn our new method for using activated carbon with 100-150% better results – only by knowing how and why to use the activated carbon in this new way. Learn everything about the hydrometer - with illustrations.
In their own words :
Infusions of Grandeur is a blog of vodka infusions and mad science. Your hosts, renowned mad scienticians Brendan and Wayland, begin an experiment each week, infusing vodka with a new flavor. We began this blog in December 2006, and before that point, we had never attempted to create an infused vodka before.
We are learning about infusions through experiments, research, and the kind suggestions of our readers. By blogging every step of the process, we hope to teach others to create their own infusions (and hopefully entertain them in the process).
In my words :
Two silly men make lots of drinks with vodka, some good and some bad. Great attention to detail, loads of pictures and a suitably scientific style mean that this is both an amusing and useful resource.
The daddy of distillation websites, Tony Ackland’s Home Distillation of Alcohol pages are a goldmine of useful information. There’s theory, still designs, wash preparation, distilling, flavouring, aging… pretty much anything you can want is here. The downside is that there is so much information that it’s sometimes hard to find an answer quickly. Also, much of the material is submitted by others and their views can differ dramatically - sometimes you have to just go with your own instinct and hope for the best.
Overall then, it’s an excellent site and it should be essential reading for anyone who is even considering distilling at home. I would urge everyone to read through as much as they can before getting involved, so that they understand the theory and the different options available.
Here is a website that I stumbled upon which contains some great detailed information about making Amaretto, Almond Liqueur, several other fruit liqueurs and uniquely also includes recipes for pies and pastries you can make using your left-over macerated fruit! Well worth checking out, doesn’t have as many liqueurs as some sites but the detailed instructions are superb.
