I found these titles while browsing the Project Gutenberg site:
A Treatise on Brewing Beer from 1796
The Art of Making Whiskey from 1819
I'm only a couple pages into the first one, and I doubt I'll learn anything that I can put into any practical use, but its an interesting read.
Edit: A couple more
The London & Country Brewer 1736
A Study of American Beers & Ales 1917, a report from the US Sept of Agriculture

Hopefully Project Gutenberg will get hold of Keith's log books.

Only if some anonymous person happened to scan them when they were available to the public...
