Raise the Bar | Jim O’Brien | Home Distiller’s Workbook

Raise the Bar: The Home Distiller’s Workbook by Jim O’Brien is an English-language workbook for readers who want to understand more about craft spirits, distillation and the move from fermentation to stronger drinks.

While some homebrewers are happy with beer or wine, this book is aimed at curious makers and spirits enthusiasts who want to learn what lies behind distilling. O’Brien approaches the subject through the questions of “what”, “why”, “where” and “how”, with the tone of a practical introduction.

This second hardcover edition offers a compact entry into the world of craft alcohol and distillation. It is especially interesting for readers already familiar with grain or fruit mashes who want to deepen their understanding of spirits.

Raise the Bar is not a classic whisky book and not a tasting guide, but a technical and practical workbook connected with craft alcohol. It fits well in the distilling category alongside books on whisky production, fermentation and spirits.

Important: home distilling may be illegal or require a licence, and it involves safety risks. This book should therefore be approached as a source of knowledge and context, with local laws and safety requirements always checked first.
