Quality from beginning to end

I have been brewing for about a year now and although I had both "The Complete Joy of Homebrewing" and "Homebrewer's Companion", I still felt like I couldn't easily access relevant information. I looked at John's book as published on the internet and decided to get the current edition. I couldn't be happier. He unfolds the brewing process from the simplest details to some very complex science. I can delve just as deeply as I want and review just the details I need. I have already refined my brewing process and look forward to the results. I would consider this a core book for any brewing library.

Great practical advice and good theory on homebrewing

This book serves several purposes well. For the absolute beginner who is anxious to brew his first batch and to brew it right, this book helps give him a good shot at succeeding. And for the beginner with a little more patience, who wants to really understand all of the basics, including the how-and-why of all aspects of brewing, the ins and outs of the ingredients, etc, before making his first attempt, this book serves that purpose well, too. The book is so full of great information that you'll probably find yourself referring back to it over and over again as a reference.

The first half or so of the book covers all of the basics of beginning to intermediate homebrewing in a nicely layed-out, readable format. The last half of the book, which gets into the more advanced method of all grain brewing is more complex, but well-written and full of great information also. When tackling complex topics, Palmer usually breaks the discussion into two separate chapters: a practical chapter that tells you what you really need to know, and a more theoretical one that really gets into the technical details. This lets you skip all the technical details if you are not interested, without missing all of the good practical advice that can make a big difference in your results.

The appendices are very useful, too. One appendix, for example, covers many of the typical problems that may be encountered when homebrewing, what their causes are and how to fix the problem the next time around. It is a very practical guide full of useful information.

If you want a book that gives good detailed practical instructions as well as very readable explanations of the how-and-why of homebrewing, I'd say this book is an excellent choice.

Top book for home brewers

This is an excellent book for anyone just getting into home brewing, for extract brewers getting into all-grain, or for all grain brewers who want to dive into the more technical aspects of brewing. The text is well written and organized, the author provides good illustrations and pictures to help the reader understand the process and covers everything from the most basic to very advanced topics. This is a must for any brewers library, 5 + stars.

The title says it all...

This is the book to have. I started out with the Joy of Homebrewing and didn't realize how much brewing has progressed. It wasn't until I got this book (6 batches into brewing) that I learned that I was oxidizing my wort instead of aerating it, and why my attenuation rates just weren't getting to where they were supposed to be.
I also really like John's style of writing; chapters simple enough to get started and others detailed enough to give the brewmeister too much to think about. If you like your brewing information straight-forward, well thought out and completely explained, then this is the book you want.

great book for all brewing levels

I bought the 2nd edition a year ago when I first started brewing. I knew absolutely nothing about the subject. This book got me started and I am still learning the further I get into it and the more I play around with brewing possibilities. The new edition brings it up-to-date since homebrewing is becoming more popular, meaning more 'stuff' on the market for brewing. this is the only book I have read on brewing but I have never had to look elsewhere for answers. I refer to it often. I gave the 2nd edition to my buddy and bought this one.
