How To Brew is widely acclaimed by homebrewing supply shops as the best new book to come along in years. This book looks at the homebrewing of beer from a process point-of-view. It easily guides the reader through the steps to produce a first batch of which they can be proud. The book is well-organized and easy to read. The writing style emphasizes that brewing is fun. How To Brew is divided into sections that focus on each of the three main methods of homebrewing: brewing with malt extract, brewing with extract and steeped grain, and all-grain brewing. Beer styles are discussed and several recipes for the author's favorite styles are given. Other recipes are included throughtout the text to illustrate the concepts being discussed, along with nearly 200 pictures, charts and tables. The book format includes sub-chapter headings in the footer of each page and is thoroughly indexed. How To Brew is listed as a recommended resource by the Examination Directors of the Beer Judge Certification Program and is currently being used as a textbook in accredited University brewing programs.
