Home Brewers Bible.

ByJason Mon 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.

Excellent resource for home brew newbies!

ByRobert Brandauon August 10, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I have been brewing mead for a few years now, but couldn't get up the courage to tackle beer or ale until I read Mr. Papazian's book "The Complete Joy of Home Brewing" (4th edition). The book provides easy-to-follow directions in a low-stress style to get a new brewer through the first batch, then follows through with more advanced tips and techniques to help those interested to advance into intermediate brewing.

ByKim Kowalskion 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.

And his best advice - "Relax"

ByBuckrogerson April 20, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Ya gotta buy this book if you're even thinking about brewing your own beer. Papazian is the guy. He's been doing this a long time. And his best advice - "Relax". It's really not rocket science. There are more recipes than you'll ever use but I can almost guarantee there's a recipe for the beer you're looking for. He doesn't charge enough for this book but his love of brewing is evident.

Relax and have a homebrew!

ByYngve Ellingsenon 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.

A great book to get you started in homebrewing.

ByLen Won May 13, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

A great book for those starting or wanting to improve their homebrewing skills. This was a replacement book. I had an earlier version that I loaned to a buddy just getting started in homebrewing. He liked it so much I told he could keep it. I wanted to upgrade to a later version.

Well detailed, well organized and very easy read about making beer. Worth it!

ByBJJ Blue Blton May 6, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Great book about making your own beer. Not a brewery bussiness plan but it sure will help on planning actions towards home brewing.
Well written, brings great insights and filosophical approach about brewing at home. Gave me confidence to make a few home brews myself.
My Weiss was very good and my IPA was OK. Let's face the others 3 as research & development.
