5.0 out of 5 stars A "must have" for period potable makers
Cindy Renfrow has compiled a thorough presentation of period and somewhat out of period recipies for brewers of medieval beverages. She does a great job referencing each recipe and includes a helpful glossary of terms, as well as a lengthy list of herbs and fruits found in those recipes.

More translation of ancient measurements would have helped.

Cindy Renfrow has compiled a thorough presentation of period and somewhat out of period recipies for brewers of medieval beverages. She does a great job referencing each recipe and includes a helpful glossary of terms, as well as a lengthy list of herbs and fruits found in those recipes. If you are a mead maker, this is a great reference book to have in your library. I highly recommend this for brewers in the SCA or other reenactors of this time period.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable read and great reference., September 1, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: A Sip Through Time: A Collection Of Old Brewing Recipes (Paperback)
The author includes cautions and historical notes about recipes. I am just entering the brewing field and this book is providing insight into how I may change my ingredients of mead or cider. This is a great reference book and well worth the cost.
