GREAT Reference!!March 8, 2007 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is the 3rd reference by Charles Papazian that you should purchase. It is chock full of tips from experienced brewers along with the recipies. Being a new brewer, I only wish there were more pictures of some of the equipment. There are websites listed informing one of where to find ingredients and equipment.
Excellent addition to a homebrewer's library.March 2, 2007 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Ok, so some recipes are in need of adjustment, but the book is loaded with recipes and interesting brewer tips. It is simple, but it is not a step-by-step how-to. I suggest that this is good for the homebrewer that is ready to experiment and try new things and of course, the more experienced can tweak the recipe when and if needed. The beginning section touches on the framework for all the recipes provided, explaining the amount of water used, yeast type, batch quantity and more. Other than that, it's recipe after recipe and the occasional brewer's tip and back story on beer styles.
This is a fun book with a variety of recipes that will be enjoyed by any homebrewer. Those new to homebrewing will enjoy reading and making, but will be ready after some experience or the help of their local brew supply shop. I made a few and they came out quite well.
This is a good book to give as a gift or add to your library.
Worst recipe book that I own.May 9, 2006 7 out of 12 found this review helpful
If you are looking to start brewing with extract then this might work for you but don't count on the recipes making anything that is close to professional quality beers.
The recipes are at some points, proposterously bad and some of the clones are just innacurate.
In all I own 48 books on brewing. Many are great, some are just OK and then a few are downright bad. This is by far the worst one that I own. Common, not even giving the brewer yeast suggestions???
An invaluabe stepping stoneMarch 20, 2006 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
As a beginning homebrewer looking to extend beyond pre-hopped extracts and pre-packaged kits, this book was exactly what I was looking for. I found the asides and exerts amusing. I would higly recommend this book for anyone who's already brewed a few batches and is looking for more recipes.
