Home Brew: Techniques and Recipes For The Home Brewer [Paperback]

Philip Ward (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 1, 1995

As millions of people coast to coast already know, nothing is as satisfying as a tasty, natural beer, fresh from your own home-brewed supply. Now you too can join the ranks of home brewers with this lively, practical guide.

You'll learn how to set up your home brewery, how to distinguish a lager from a pilsner, and an ale from a stout from a wheat beer, and, best of all, how to make them. In addition to dozens of home brew recipes, Home Brew includes chapters on: beers of the world, malts and grains, hops and yeasts, tasting and evaluating, how to match beers with food, and collecting brewery memorabilia.

Home Brew is all you need to brew the best beer you ever tasted right in your own home.

This review is from: Home Brew: Techniques and Recipes For The Home Brewer (Paperback)

I bought this book just after the holidays, i got a beer making kit for xmass and was interested in some more indepth onformation on the subject. There isn't any more information in this book then there is in the two page flyer that came with the kit with maybe the addition of a few recipes wich are readily available on the internet anyway. This book is a waste of money and shelf space, my copy is for sale.......
