“The absolute bible of the genre is Charlie Papazian’s Complete Joy of Homebrewing, now in its fourth edition. Papazian demystifies the process and shows you easy and effective ways to craft killer beers. What truly sets his book apart is his infectious enthusiasm for brewing.” (Men's Journal)

“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)

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.

August 8, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I started home brewing 10 years ago. I started off with the 2nd addition. I still like to read up on home brewing and found the new addition worth re-reading. I enjoy his optimistic view/recommendation with having a home brew and not worrying; it is great advice. Instructions are easy to follow and great recipes that make it a great book to have for reference and I find myself using it. Wanted to make and a Marzien (oktoberfest beer) and used the recipe as a starting point. I rarely follow any recipe exactly as I like to incorporate my taste in to the recipe. Charlie Papazian was the first to write an in depth book on homebrewing which makes this book a bible like status in the homebrewing world. There are other books out there now that I have read and are just as good as this one and I recommend reading the other books on homebrewing that have good reviews. There is always something you can learn. But this is a favorite not just because it was the first of it's kind but also because of it's positive 'relax you can do it' attitude and making the explanations simple for understanding.

Your brewing manual

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

An absolute must for any aspiring home brewer. I took a break at the all grain part for I’m still a beginner extract brewing, but this book has taught me so much. When it gets too scientific and not that I’m not interested, but I can’t help getting board, his humor and light hearted nature saves the day. Will finish next year when I attempt all grain brewing for the first time!!!

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.

Excellent resource for home brew newbies!

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.

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.

And his best advice - "Relax"

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.
