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!

Brew Like a Monk: Trappist, Abbey, and Strong Belgian Ales and How to Brew Them

Brewers Publications, 2005

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 ...

Wild Brews: Culture and Craftsmanship in the Belgian Tradition

Jeff Sparrow

Brewers Publications, 2005

Wild Brews
Wild Brews covers those beer styles of Belgium that depend upon fermentation by wild yeast and bacteria, specifically East Flanders brown, West Flanders red and lambic. Although you may be under the impression, as I was, that a lambic brew could occur only in the Brussels and Payottenland areas and inside cobweb infested barns with leaky roofs, Sparrow contends that wild yeast can occur anywhere. ...

Great Book
My wife bought this for my birthday, and I completely enjoyed it. Shortly after finishing it, I was in St. Louis and toured the Budweiser brewery. This book made it much more enjoyable of a tour.

Excellent Resource
As a library administrator, I get to see and read a lot of books pertaining to all my hobbies and I can honestly say that this book is a must have for anyone starting out in home brewing. It details all of the equipment you will need for basic to semi-advanced brewing. I particularly like the fact that this book gives you instructions on how to completely fabricate your own equipment, partially ...

Strange Brew (Callahan Garrity Mysteries)

Avon, 1998

A Cut Above
This series may be considered as cozies, but they have a distinct edge. The characters are fun, but also well developed, and the plots are decent. The characters and their personalities are complex. The books improve as they go along. I was panting for the last one, "Irish Eyes." I even bought the hardback. Am waiting for the next one. Begin at the beginning if you can, but not necessary.

Fireside, 1996

Excellent addition to a homebrewer's library.
Ok, so some recipes are in need of adjustment, but the book is loaded with recipes and interesting brewer tips. It is simple, but it is not a step-by-step how-to. I suggest that this is good for the homebrewer that is ready to experiment and try new things and of course, the more experienced can tweak the recipe when and if needed. The beginning section touches on the framework for all the ...

Too many recipies to ever list...non-newtonian fluids?? They're in there! Honestly, there is a recipe for every craft need I could think of...and many more. The best thing is that there are some many versions of each recipes. If you don't have ingredients for one, there several versions. Don't stay home without it!

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 ...

You needn't look for exotic ingredients, either: symbolic beverages contain juices and ordinary ...

So Many Recipes! So Few Fermenters
I love this book. It is informative, original and full of some very good recipes. There are great instructions for the both beginner and seasoned brewer. There is a good variety of easy recipes and just enough variety in the complex brews to keep you busy for months. Each recipe has a complete header of beer specifics. Great for the beginner who wants to move beyond the basics.

Susanna Gregory

Little, Brown Book Group, 1999

Susanna Gregory Writes Great Medieval Mysteries.
Susahna Gregory is my most favourite medieval mystery author. She's a master and her Matthew Bartholemew series is great. She uses historical detail and real people in her books. Her books are long but she takes time to develop a plot. I read this book a few months ago, but it didn't appear in Amazon, so I couldn't review it then. This particular story delves into the in-fighting between two ...
