Loading... The New Complete Joy of Home Brewingby Charlie Papazian
None. I know some home brewers wrinkle their nose at Papazian, but there are some good recipes in here. I especially like the Toad Spit Stout (no, it is not made with any toads or spit) which is a lot like Guinness. We've had mixed success with the fruit based recipes (raspberry stout never came out well, but apricot ale was great). (  ) KatLowe | Apr 3, 2013 |  No discussion of homebrewing books would be complete without the homebrewer's bible. When homebrewing was once again legalized in 1979, Papazian lead the way in revitalizing homebrewing and teaching new homebrewers the art of brewing. His writing is a once informative, enthusiastic, and friendly. Papazian explains homebrewing that is as simple as boiling water up to advanced homebrewing techniques in a style that makes you feel he is in the same room and encouraging your exploration. Both tables and text compare various of ingredients and style. Although some basic recipes are included, much of the text is devoted to teaching technique and methodology. Bottling, kegging, and evaluating your creations are all covered. He covers both the art of brewing and the science of brewing with equal passion. The brewing of lambics, meads, and barley wine are also addressed. So, just "Relax. Don't worry. (  )1  ktoonen | Nov 15, 2010 | A great book to consult if you're a beginning homebrewer. Papazian takes care to present the process as fun and approachable. The book is well-organized, allowing beginners to get the information they need up-front, then go back for more details later as they become more advanced. ( ) Zathras86 | Jun 13, 2009 | This is the homebrewer's bible. Read, revisit, and always keep a copy nearby (while you experiment... liberally). ( ) BGP | Jan 12, 2009 | I'm cheating here, I'm only logging this book once but we have two copies since Scott likes it so much as a brewing reference. As he says, need to have two copies in case one gets lost or damaged. If a man needs two copies of a book, that should say all you need to know about how good it is.
