'A Practical Guide to Distilling Alcohol from Farm Products' by F.B. Wright is the go-to resource for farmers and manufacturers interested in making industrial alcohol from their crops. Readers will find a collection of US denaturing formulas, distilling apparatus, malting, and alcoholometry, and learn how to prepare mashes and fermentation. This comprehensive guide is essential for farmers looking to turn their produce into a new means of income, and for manufacturers seeking to substitute hydrocarbon fuels.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

To the majority of persons alcohol denotes liquor. That it is used to some extent in the arts, that it is a fuel, is also common knowledge, but alcohol as a source of power, as a substitute for gasoline, petroleum, and kindred hydrocarbons was hardly known to the generality of Americans until the passage of the "De-naturing Act" by Congress in 1906. "The Practical Handbook on the Distillation of Alcohol from Farm Products," published in 1922 during Prohibition, includes the process of malting, mashing and macerating, fermenting and distilling alcohol from grain, beets, potatoes, molasses, etc. with chapters on alcoholometry and the de-naturing of alcohol for use in farm engines, automobiles, launch motors, and in heating and lighting, with a synopsis of the New Free Alcohol Law and its Amendment and the Government regulations.
