Distilling knowledge

This online foundation course on distilling alcohol is for anyone who wants to learn how to distil high-quality spirits cleanly and safely. Whether you want to produce your own artisan spirits, or make alcohol for tincture and perfumery, this course will introduce you to the essential techniques. They will walk you through the process of making spirits from wine using an eau de vie distillation. They have chosen an eau de vie distillation because wine is an easily available and relatively inexpensive product to use as a wash (note, they explore the fermentation process, washes and mashes in much more depth in a separate course—Grain to Glass) Also some great courses on essential oils
