the big book of brewing
This is the classic book for any really enthusiastic and ambitious home brewer...the person who wants to brew high quality "true" beers using real hops and grains, rather than by using more easily-handled kits and powdered or liquid malt extracts.
The author explains to beginners and experts alike a simple method of "mashing" for producing the finest flavoured beers, ales, stouts and lagers from all-grain ingredients, just like the professionals do.
It is simply the most advanced and comprehensive book on the subject for the amateur. - The language of the brewer - Brewing quality beer - Commercial brewing - Equipment - Your first brew - Easy recipes - Systems of mashing and sparging - Real ingredients - Buying malt - Brewing process - Problems - Advanced recipes.
The best book on "mashing" ever published! First published by Argus Books in 1985, this classic home brewing manual has been out of print in the UK for over a decade.
During that period, enthusiasts and home brew shops have been importing the US edition in order to keep its essential wisdom alive within the hobby.
This is it! THE Book to buy to perfect brewing from scratch. For years I was afraid of wasting time, money and space setting up my own micro-brewery brewing from all grain . . . . with this book in my hand, the fear has gone, the anticipation of great Brews to come is on Green-light for Go, all I need now is the equipment (not much really) and the time! . . . . well, I suppose that could mean watching less "Pointless" or "Homes under the Hammer" on TV, so there's no excuse, I just need a kick start, I'll get organised today with a shopping list and start Brewing tonight . . . . . First item on the list is this book!
