"Ideal Moonshine" is a book about home distillation and the production of strong drinks from a variety of raw materials (sugar, grains, fruits, berries). It gives the author's view of the current state of this hobby, taking into account the availability of equipment and materials. It is intended for those who want to decide how suitable this hobby is for them, where to start, what it will cost and what results can be obtained. The book will be interesting to read both for those who are not going to engage in distillation - to expand their technical horizons, and for those who are already involved in it - to expand the range of techniques. This is a practical guide, so there are no tables, graphs or complex organic chemistry terms
