I am an avid homebrewer, and own, and have read, many homebrewing books. This book has more usable tips for a homebrewer than any other book I own. Because this is a new book, the information is totally up to date. I recommend it highly for the brewer trying to up his or her game. Don't be put off by the name. The information is geared for all levels of homebrewers, and doesn't require the BeerSmith software. Of course, the author shamelessly promotes his BeerSmith software, but he should. It's excellent. If only it was available for the Macintosh.(sigh)

Decent Beginners Homebrewing Book, but it's not about Beersmith

Let me preface this by saying I love beersmith and Brad's podcasts and blog are outstanding. That being said,I was a bit mislead by what the book would be, and I admit a part of that was my fault. I was expecting the book to cover some basics on brewing and mostly be a down and dirty in depth user manual for the beersmith software. After all, the title of the book is Home Brewing with Beersmith. In reality there is not a whole lot about Beersmith in the book. While I don't agree with some things in the book, for example the recommendation that using bleach and rinsing is still acceptable in homebrewing (Sanitizing and rinsing after is like washing your hands before you clean up poop. Why use bleach solution you have to rinse with when there are so many great and affordable no-rinse sanitizers available today? There is some great information for someone new to or looking into getting into homebrewing and a lot of the information is current, unlike some of the iconic brewing books by Charlie Papazian. The content is also easy to understand. I'm giving it a 3 stars rating based on the name of the book being very misleading. It felt like he was using the popularity of the software just to sell a how to brew book. He could easily have named it something more appropriate and put in there "Written by Brad Smith, creator of Beersmith" So if you were looking for nice down and dirty print version of all the ins and outs of the Beersmith Software, this book is not for you. If you want a decent how to homebrew book, then this is a good read for you.

Let me start by saying that I'm a huge fan of Beersmith! I use the software to design and follow up all my brews. That's why I bought his book.
The book however does not deliver what the title implies : I expected a good detailed handbook to use Beersmith but got a rather high level beginners book on homebrewing. There were some good tips available in the book.

The brew's the thing.
Years ago, I had gotten into extract brewing when the go-to book was Papazian's "The Complete Joy of Homebrewing." There is still a lot of good info in Charlie's work. Read more

Not what I hoped
I wanted a hands on instruction manual, this is too technical to suit me.
If I get into brewing deeply, it may be useful, but not to begin with.

Nice collection of articles
The best part of this book is that it is entertaining. A little dis-jointed, but clearly states that this is a collection of articles previously published on his web site. Read more
