5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for those thinking of brewing their own beer., February 16, 1998

This review is from: Making Beer (Paperback)

An excellent read! Very entertaining and informative. It's a must for anyone sitting on the fence thinking whether or not to start making home brew or wanting to start a brewery. I enjoyed it thoroughly many years ago and the revised edition is even better.

Great book. Very easy to read, written in a very common sense style. If you are thinking about making the jump from homebrew to commercial, you need to read this. Very informative.
