Booze: River Cottage Handbook No.12

Description

What could possibly beat a cool pint of beer down the pub or a lazy glass of wine at your favourite bar?

The answer is: home-brewed booze that special beer or your very own brand of wine. With this, the twelfth in the River Cottage Handbook series, the inimitable John Wright shows exactly how easy it is to get cracking. You are not looking for masses of space to make alcohol at home, and if you follow the simple instructions, you will not be faced with exploding bottles in the cellar. But don’t forget, that it’s all about experimentation and finding out what works best for you.

Home-brewed booze: recipes and techniques

Booze is divided up by alcohol type, from beer, cider and wine to herbal spirits and fruit liqueurs. Every section starts with an introduction to the basic techniques, methods and other useful information, before giving recipes for delicious tipples like:

• rhubarb wine
• sparkling elderflower wine
• mead
• cherry plum wine
• orange beer
• lager
• real ginger beer
• sweet cider
• zubrovka vodka
• amber spirits
• rose infusions
• blackberry whiskey
• pomegranate rum
• chestnut liqueur
• mulled cider

and there’s even a hangover cure thrown in for good measure. (just in case you need it)

With an introduction from Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and full-colour photographs in addition to illustrations, Booze is a home-brewer’s book with a kick.
