Excellent

This book is fantastic. As mentioned by others, each beer recipe is listed 3 ways (extract, mini-mash, and all-grain). Some of the complaints other reviewers had about recognizing only a few of the brands were unfounded. I was familiar with nearly half of the beers listed. Something that is NOT listed in the book is that the author runs a homebrew shop in Connecticut and offers pre-packaged, pre-measured kits for EVERY recipe in this book and the newer "Beer Captured." I mail order my ingrediants anyway, so they've got a new customer.


Recipes Made Easy

I have been brewing for about 6 years now and have found this book extremely helpful in recreating (I guess cloning is the appropriate word here) a specific beer or in stimulating the thought process when I just want to try and brew something different. In addition to the list of ingredients and a little bit of history, each recipe provides clear directions for an extract, partial mash or all grain version, making it adaptable to whatever your brewing level or time constraints allow. The base version of each recipe is extract, with modifications for the partial mash and all grain. I am primarily an extract brewer, but the book has helped me to step up to the all grain versions with confidence.

I have brewed many of the recipes in the book and have won several ribbons using both extract and all grain versions. I am looking forward to the new book by the Szamatulskis, because not all of my favorites were included in Clone Brews!

Recipes for extract, partial mash and all-grain...

If there's one thing you get out of reading the reviews for this book it should be that all recipes include an extract, partial mash, and all-grain version. I'm brewing strictly extract beers now, but I plan on advancing my skills, and this book will not be outdated. Lot's of notable domestic beers(US), british, and big section of belgian, along with some obscure (to me) beer from around the world. Great book!






A good resource for brewing in general

I bought this book planning on cloning a few commercial brews. The recipes, although very good, were not the best part of the book for me. It has ver helpful guidelines in the process of duplicating a style (as well as a specific brew). The formulas presented in the first few pages of the book cover most of the considerations necessary for the intermediate brewer. The six or seven pages of charts in the back of the book make it worth the cost of the entire book though. No longer do I turn through page after page of other books to find the specific gravity of flaked barley per every pound per gallon. Its all right there in the back of this book. Its a well-written organized book perfect for anyone attempting to achieve a style of beer as well as a specific label.

Good Stuff!

This book is a great resource for beer recipes that fit within competition style guidelines. I have brewed beers using recipes from this book and have won ribbons in several homebrew competitions. Check it out!
