5.0 out of 5 stars Wide Ranging and Quality Recipes, December 2, 2007

By	R. Bowser (Portsmouth, NH) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Jamil and John's excellent recipe book adds a missing element to the world of home brewing. This is a list of proven recipes in every style with notes about what is key in brewing that style. It is also a nice touch that an extract recipe is listed for each style as well.

Although, there are other recipe books available and recipes are all over the web, there is really no uniformly trusted source for spot on recipes for so many styles. Too many times I have grabbed a recipe even from a decent source and only later with more experience been able to isolate its flaws.

This book should help people start brewing their favorite styles or venture into unfamiliar styles with a real home brew pro as their guide. I have already brewed a couple of the recipes and can't wait to try more. Super resource.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book by two great authors, November 9, 2007

By	M. Fischer (Fort Collins, CO USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Reading my fourth book on brewing, I didn't think I would learn much here.
Anyway, I was really wrong! An issue I always have is finding good recipes.
This text has over 80 recipes, and better yet, it has extract and all-grain!

Perhaps my favorite part is that these recipes are all tried and true.
All the awards that Jamil has won over the years (including the Ninkasi) is
Direct proof of that!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Recipe Book - Ever!!, November 1, 2007

By	Christopher Dodge (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Anyone who has read Zymurgy or Brew Your Own magazine will recognize the expertise and talent of authors Jamil Zainasheff and John Palmer. This book differs from other homebrewing recipe books in that all the recipes listed have been brewed, entered into homebrew competitions and have won medals. Also, the recipes are from Jamil himself, a two time winner of the Ninkasi award which is given to the most award winning homebrewer of the year during the National Homebrewers Conference. The only other homebrewing books you will ever need besides this one are "How to Brew" and "Designing Great Beers"
