For Your Second Brewing Book, The Best Choice

I cannot recommend this book enough for homebrewers. Mosher, in fun, exciting prose, lays out a large swath of brewing techniques, providing lots of information and handy references. After The Complete Joy of Homebrewing Third Edition (Harperresource Book), this is the best book you can buy on the subject. Far more than simply a beer recipe book, Radical Brewing explains different brewing processes in depth, with recipes to highlight these lessons. I've made a number of the recipes in this book, and all have been delicious.




My Favorite Brewing Book

I've been brewing for a few years and own several brewing books. Radical Brewing is my favorite. It's good for beginners wanting to learn basics and experienced brewers looking for fresh inspiration.

Solid overview of Various Beer styles

Great book if you are looking to expand what you are currently brewing! Great information and can really inspire some new ideas.






Wealth of information for novice and experienced alike.

I have been brewing for about 20 years. I took the typical route from kit through extract to all grain. I thought I knew enough to make good beer, even formulating my own recipes and cloning beer from information gleaned on the web of commercial beers I liked.

Mosher's book showed me that there is always more to learn. His writing style is witty, but the information on the nuances, the composing of brews, arranging and layering the ingredients like a well written symphony, is what I took away.

Who knew that Fenugeek could be used in beer. I rushed to my spice cabinet and sure enough, the maple aroma and subtle flavor would add a lot to the right beer. Who knew? Mosher knew. Now I know. There are a lot of gems in the book. Suggestions, hints, inside tips. Well worth the money. Papizans book was my starting point, but in truth, I have not opened the book in over ten years or more. The basics are the basics. Just like any art, you have to have a good grasp of the basics in order to reach the next level.

This book assumes that the reader already has that basic knowledge, and I believe even makes that statement early on, but even a novice can benefit from his treatments of the basics like water chemistry, mashing, color, hops and yeast. While other books for beginner simplify things, they may do a disservice in glossing over things in the interest of simplicity and there by lead the novice brewer into the mindfield of failure. The novice then fails to produce beer up to his expectations, and does not know why when it might be as simple as the water he takes from his tap, or the bottles he chooses to use.

I remember my early brewing days. I made a maerzen from extract, lagered it bottled it and then in my stupidity left it out on my deck to bake in the Houston sun for a day. It was the only skunky beer I ever made and was still palatable to some of my less discerning friends. I learned two things, one about myself: don't cut corners, and don't get lazy. The second I learned about my beer drinking friends: Don't cast pearls before swine. Henceforth, I kept the good stuff for myself and served them the rest. Anyone who could drink the skunky mess I made by my own stupidity, could not really appreciate a good home craft made beer.

Those novice brewers who use plastic coke bottles or green glass bottles need to know that some of thier bad beer may not be due to their brewing, but rather listening to other so called brew gurus' who advocate using those types of bottles for home brewing. If you take the time to brew it, invest the money in doing it right.

This book teaches those lessons.

Good supplement!

Gave this to my husband with a rewing kit when he started becoming interested in brewing. He only skimmed the book but found some really interesting facts and makes a good partner for a brewing kit as a gift
