Moonshining as a Fine Art: The Foxfire Americana Library

Foxfire Americana Library #1

by Foxfire Students

The history of moonshining is a long one, and no one tells it better than the men who once made a living from it deep in the heart of Appalachia. Originally published in 1972, “Moonshining as a Fine Art” takes you through the their time-honored methods of making (and occasionally hiding) safe, successful stills. It also includes a glossary of moonshining terms and recipes for home-brewed mountain drinks like apple beer and blackberry wine.

Short and to the point. Was surprised at how high a yield they were getting. Illustrations somewhat illegible in kindle edition.

[Michael Tomczak]

A short and informative history of moonshining in Appalachia. It doesn't go far in depth, but it does give a good sense of what the moonshining process was like back then.

Good stories, not a lot of info for home distilling.
