Penguin Classics, 2003

Follow your heart (while you're still pretty)
Jane Austen's last novel, posthumously published in 1818, is about the possibility of having a second chance for love after one's made the mistake of following advice contrary to natural inclinations. The story centers on Anne Elliot, descendant of an illustrious family from the nobility of Somerset. Her mother has died and she lives with her father, an insufferably vain and irresponsible ...

A Much Needed Review of Fermentation
This is an essential book for anyone interested in the manifold uses of fermentation in their food. Cheese is just the start. There's a lot of healthful information, but there's also just an awful lot of good-tasting food in this book and I hope he follows it up with a sequel SOON! Katz's writing style and historical understanding of fermentation and his devotion to teaching the methods are ...

I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell
Hilarious. I read the whole thing in one sitting, and I do not regret using the whole day doing it. Some of the funniest stories I have ever heard, and even if they are embellished a little (which I don't think they are), they are still absolutely insane. 5 Stars! Can't wait for the next book!

Ray Daniels

Brewers Publications, 2000

Excellent, Solid Resource
This book is an excellent, in-depth resource on the subject of homebrewing. It is an incredibly detailed and well-researched book, and doesn't shy away from simple math, as many others on the subject do. For those brewers that aren't as mathematically inclined, the equations presented are tabulated, so that they never HAVE to be used. Daniels carefully explains the factors that affect important ...

Brewers Publications, 2006

Answers all the questions you had after reading The Complete Joy of Homebrewing
I read "The Complete Joy of Homebrewing" by Charlie Papazian front to back and found myself not having a complete understanding of the entire brewing process, so I thought I would buy another book and after reading this one I was not at all disappointed. John Palmer describes the purpose of this book very well at its introduction; he says "(Brewing) sounds fairly simple, doesn't it? It really ...

AJR Publishing, 2006

A baby is almost guaranteed if you read this book
If your best friend was a book it would be this one. Dr Beer describes in easy to understand words how the immune system can go into overkill in some women. The result is miscarriage, IVF failure and infertility. But these outcomes can be prevented with the right tests and treatments. I read this book and found it technical when necessary but with lots of human interest stories and studies to ...

A Conversation around the Fire
Imagine that you-an experienced homebrewer-got to gather around a fire with some folks who had years of experience brewing versions of your favorite beer style. It would be hard to have a bad time, harder still not to come away a better brewer for it. This friendly, if somewhat disorderly book is just that conversation. I love the complexity and depth of belgian strong beers. Occasionally, by ...

Clear and Inspiring How-To
I bought this book looking for a guide to grow hops... It is certainly that, and more. It covers varieties and where they grow, how to treat the soil, where to plant, what how to build an effective trellis etc... AND it covers how to dry the fresh hops in preparation for use in a brew... how to build an oast (which is the drying structure)... And it does all of this in a very approachable way. ...

One down, hundred or so to go
I've only tried one recipe so far and was very happy with it. I partial mash and I modified their recipe to include more grain and less extract. So many brews . . . so little time!

Best recipe book out there
I have already brewed several of the beers from this book and have had outstanding results. You will need a primary book for the beginner, but if have brewed before and want to get away from kits this is definitely the way to go. You can get most of the recipes free via podcast, but there is other information included in the book that the podcasts miss. I would definitely recommend adding this ...

Interesting read and great history lessons.
Tons of great history on beer/brewing. Crazy ingredient ideas & great discussion/explanations on how they affect your brews. I keep re-reading sections all the time. I like how Mosher gives a recipe, but doesn't lecture you on nailing a certain stlye and gives suggestions how to tweak it to your own desires. Screw styles, brew what tastes good to you. This book helps you do that. This ...
