Customer Reviews

Disappointed

How can you call yourself The Brewmasters Recipe Bible without a single all-grain recipe? Good thing it was only $6.

Exactly what was expected

Book came in great shape. Has tons or recipes and everything you can imagine for brewing beer.

Great beer primer

This book is an all-intensive primer for the beer enthusiast wanting to be a brewing enthusiast. Even for someone who has never been exposed to beer, with a little bit of concerted effort this book will tell you all you need to know to start from square zero to being proficient at making delicious, hearty home-crafted beer.

Great Book

This book is an excellent source of information and has lots of recipes. Loved it.

Best comprehensive reference around

I've read all the other brewing books, and though Papazain, and homebrewing for dummies may be easier reads, this is the only book that has a complete list of style characteristics, details on ingredients, and fairly complete instructions for more complex methods, such as decoction brewing. Yes, as one reviewer pointed out, much of the book comprises recipes, but the tables and lists are invaluable. I've been brewing for 15 years, and still refer to this book each time I make a new batch. Even the "lame recipes" are useful to get an idea how people approach the different styles (I never duplicate these recipes, but they are useful for synthesizing one's own recipes). This is the book for geeks and engineers. If you know what reverse polish is, then buy this book.

One of the most informitive books to cover a-z homebrewing

As a novice Homebrewer I found everything I could Imagine. Helpful hints and ways to brew from malt extract syrup to starting from raw grains. Easy and informitive.
