 Simply put, a must have for homebrewers! July 12, 2008
This book is THE ONE to have for home brewers. The information will take you from brewing in the simplest of forms to all grain and everything in beteween. It was written in an easy to understand style that skips throught the nonsense and gets you to the point. Full of recipes, anecdotes, suggestions and resources, it should be required reading for all homebrewers.
The only book you really need June 16, 2008
I bought this book as a gift. I have the same book, only the third edition. If its like the third edition its got all the answers, and is easy to read.
Excellent beginers guide May 30, 2008
If you've ever even THOUGHT about brewing your own ales, lagers, stouts or porters, this is the book for you. Papazian is extremely knowledgable and has a writing style that makes the process fun and easy to follow. It is essentially the "bible" for home brewers.
My 3 cents (wasn't it worth more then 2?)
A Joy May 30, 2008
I got this book on recommendation from my friend Aaron when we were brewing at his house this weekend. We brewed a variation of the "Goat Scrotum Porter" on page 200.
The book is however much more than a recipe book for beer. It is divided into three major sections:
Pgs 1-39 give a basic outline of brewing history and the knowledge you need to brew a beer from a basic kit.
Pgs 40-240 are the meat of the book. This intermediate brewing section goes over every aspect of brewing from yeasts to sanitizing your equipment. It also includes many recipes for ales and lagers as well as ideas on how you might adapt any recipe for your own tastes.
Pgs 241-388 really get into the science and math behind brewing. I have only skimmed this section, but it seems to be a fantastic reference guide for the advanced brewer.
What sets this book apart is the well written and funny style that Papazian brings to everything from water mineral content to the human migrations that transport Viennese lagers to Mexico. Most appreciated is his constant reminder that if you are feeling stressed about the minutia of brewing "Relax, Don't Worry, Have a Homebrew." This seems to be both his philosophy and the first step of all of his recipes.
Good book to get you going May 17, 2008
I like this book and it is a good guide to know what to purchase and how to brew. I'd recommend it to any beginner. The book also seems advanced enough for the experienced brewer. It contains many recipes and advanced techniques such as lagering and double brewing. I think this is a great book and acts as a handbook in almost any brewing situation.
