“Papazian helped pave the way for that seismic shift in beer culture. Among his laundry list of accomplishments, he went on to literally write the book on homebrewing…It’s one of the first and best-known books on the subject.” (Food & Wine)

February 18, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

My husband was advised to get this book by other home brewers both in classes and online. He has made some very respectable beer. Although the price of the book is very reasonable it created the need for quite an investment of other brew making equipment and products. Well whatever keeps him off the streets.

Home Brewers Bible.

October 10, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

A must have by any home brewer novice or expert. As we call it, its the bible of home brewing. I believe this is the 4th edition of this fine book. I bought one for myself and my brew buddy for Christmas. The only reason I gave it 4 starts is because of the index. More often than not when I want to do a quick reference on something I can not find it in the index. So now I am searching thru the whole book for one quick thing. But everything is there, you just have to find it. Hope the next revision has a better index.

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

A comprehensive study on beer, the ingredients, the process, and the fun. If you're looking for someone (and something) to get you into your beer-making life, start here! The first hundred or so pages are pretty much the history of beer, the reasoning behind using specific products, and how you can achieve certain tastes. The rest are basically step-by-step procedures on how to create your own specialty.

Relax and have a homebrew!

February 28, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This book is written in a relaxed and easy going style that rubbed off on me, and made my brewing experience much more enjoyable. That's probably the most important thing I got from this book. "Relax and have a homebrew." If you're anxious about the brewing process and scared of doing mistakes, this is a soothing, practical and informative read with a lot of useful information to make you a better and more relaxed brewer. I enjoyed it a lot.

Informative and fun.

March 7, 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Informative and takes you through so much information, but feels like a book you read for enjoyment more than a text. And that's not just because it's about beer. It's a great read. A brewer we know calls this the bible of beer making. Hope so, cause I'm going to try different techniques and see if you can succeed after reading a tome like this.

The Bible of Home Brewing

August 3, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

The Complete Joy of Home Brewing is extremely well written and packed full of practical advice and good humor. Charlie Papazian has the rare ability to teach and uplift at the same time. I wore out the edition I bought back in 1994. I bought this one to replace it.
