5 Stars Impressed
I’m rather impressed with this book. I’m a HUGE fan of Magic Hat #9, Yuengling Porter, and also Murphy’s Irish Stout. ALL three recipes are in here.. I’m excited to give them a try.
My worldly friend was floored to see some of the import recipes he drank when on his travels, so he’s excited for me to brew a few of them.
Thanks for the most excellent book. DOWN WITH DISTRIBUTORS – LET’S ALL DRINK HOMEBREW!!
4 Stars clone brews
what a great book. The authors give you 3 skill levels to work from along with some very tasty brews to chose, making this a very usable read.
with easy to follow recipes I have managed to make a few really good beers that I like,while saving a few dollars to. My first ale from the book is headed to the state fair this year (it’s that good). A nice resource for someone who doesn’t have a local brew store or access to other local brewers…

book was in really good shape and shipping happened in a reasonable period of time.
3 Stars A decent edition to your library, but not a must have
There are things to like and dislike about this book.
Likable: The extract, partial mash, and all grain recipes are presented for all brews, so any level of brewer can attempt to replicate the desired flavor.
Dislikes: Book lists many ingredients, such as brands of malt extract, that are no longer produced. It is not organized well by beer style, or even alphabetically by brand. Many of the brews listed will be totally unfamiliar to those in the US and the tastes are not described well. The method of producing extract brews using specialty grains mentions sparging them, which really isn’t a problem when dealing with small quantities of specialty grains in a bag, but the method of doing so isn’t covered at all and this is not a common practice that is described in beginning home brew books, so check with a brew forum such as brewers round table if you have questions. To be honest most of the recipes can be gotten for free on home brew forums from other home brewers.
5 Stars Excellent Learning Tool
This is one of the first books I bought when I got back into brewing. I found the variety of recipes exciting and it encouraged me to try brewing different styles of beer. I was a pretty basic brewer when I purchased this book and found my horizons expanded greatly. It has been a great learning tool.
This book contains a wealth of information about brewing techniques and beer styles. Each recipe has extract, mini-mash, and all-grain versions. The recipes are very detailed which allows the brewer some flexibility in modifying things to their own taste. There is something for every style of brewer in this book.
The best I can say about this book is that it really got me experimenting with my beer and enjoying the brewing process. Now that I am getting close to opening my own brewery. I still refer to this book for ideas when creating new recipes.
